U-Net-Accelerated Quality-Diversity Optimization for Climate-Adaptive Urban Layouts

- 用U-Net替代物理模拟器,通过空间归纳偏置学习气候规律。
- 仅用随机数据训练即达R²=0.996,排序相关性ρ=0.994。
- 适合城市规划师快速生成多样化、气候友好的建筑布局。
优化气候适应型城市布局需平衡建筑密度与冷空气通风。由于基于物理的气候模拟计算成本高,规划者通常只评估少于十个手工设计。质量-多样性(QD)算法可系统探索设计空间,但需代理模型才具实用性。本文在离线MAP-Elites循环中,以空间深度学习代理(U-Net)取代耗时的法规物理模拟器。我们系统比较了该空间方法与传统高斯过程(GP)代理在不同训练数据策略下的表现(准随机Sobol采样与主动QD引导采样)。结果表明,标量GP代理在随机样本上训练时彻底失效,需依赖昂贵的主动生成的QD存档才能泛化。相反,U-Net的空间归纳偏置使其能稳健学习底层物理映射(R² = 0.996),完全独立于训练数据来源。这使得离线QD优化仅用一次性随机样本批次即可实现高度准确的适应度排序(ρ = 0.994)。所提流程已部署于开源工具OpenSKIZZE,可在十分钟内生成数千种经气候评估的建筑布局。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Optimizing urban layouts for climate adaptation requires balancing building density with cold-air ventilation. Because physics-based climate simulations are computationally expensive, planners typically evaluate fewer than ten manual designs. \gls{qd} algorithms offer a way to systematically illuminate the design space, but they require surrogate models to be practical. In this paper, we replace a slow, regulatory physics simulator with a spatial deep-learning surrogate (U-Net) inside an offline MAP-Elites loop. We systematically compare this spatial approach with a traditional \gls{gp} surrogate across different training-data strategies (quasi-random Sobol sampling vs.\ active \gls{qd} bootstrapping). Our results reveal that scalar \gls{gp} surrogates fail catastrophically when trained on random samples, requiring expensive, actively generated \gls{qd} archives to generalize. In contrast, the spatial inductive bias of the U-Net allows it to learn the underlying physics mapping robustly ($R^2 = 0.996$), completely independent of the training data source. This allows offline \gls{qd} optimization to achieve highly accurate fitness rankings ($ρ= 0.994$) using only a one-time batch of random training samples. The resulting pipeline, deployed in the open-source OpenSKIZZE tool, generates thousands of diverse, climate-evaluated building layouts in under ten minutes.
