MetaGen: A DSL, Database, and Benchmark for VLM-Assisted Metamaterial Generation

Today, I attend the Amazon Machine Learning Conference (AMLC2025) in Seattle downtown

There is a keynote presentation from professor Wojciech Matusik

He aim to establish an extensible, community-contributed metamaterial design platform and promote the application and research of VLM in the field of material design.

This ecosystem comprises three core components:

  1. MetaDSL: A domain-specific language specifically designed for metamaterial structural design, capable of describing structural modules, geometric evolution, infill methods, etc.

  2. MetaDB: A database based on the MetaDSL program. Each record includes DSL code, corresponding 3D geometry, rendered images, multi-view images, and simulated or computed physical performance.

  3. MetaBench: A benchmark suite for evaluating VLM in various tasks in metamaterial design (such as structural reconstruction, physical understanding, and reverse design), providing standard tasks, input/output formats, and evaluation metrics.

In addition, this proposal also includes an interactive interface or auxiliary system (such as MetaAssist) enabling users/models to interact across language, images, code, and geometry.

Great and brief us with what you learn there. Thanks a lot!

I came across this paper today and was about to share it here. I think this is a very important paper that we can follow for blade design. @su.tian.22

@Haodong which paper? Can you provide the link here?

The one Shau-Shiun is sharing.

Looks like another similar work @Yu_Group

@Jeffrey_Liu this is related to meta materials, is this something we can learn for our NSF project?

I will read it. Thank you for sharing.

The third dataset mentioned in this post relates to this work. The first author shared this dataset.
