Yet there has been a lack systematic frameworks that could evaluate this type against decent standards, inform consumers others about relative adherence to those standards across sectors. In article we report development “Fairwork framework”, ...

We propose a novel method that makes use of deep neural networks and gradient decent to perform automated design on complex real world engineering tasks. Our approach works by training a neural network to mimic the fitness function of a design optimization task and then, using the differential nature of the neural network, perform gradient decent to maximize the fitness. We demonstrate this met...
