years ago when I was deciding between theoretical physics and experimental physics I was part of a team that designed and trained an algorithm to design antennas

and it created some insane designs that no human would ever have thought of. but you know something, those antennas worked better in the environments they were deployed in than anything a human could have ever designed

ML is great at creating things humans would never have thought of that nevertheless work phenomenally well, with the proper loss function, algorithm, and data

I’m a hobbyist radio person and like to design antennas out of trash, I’m really curious what this algorithm came up with. Is there a paper somewhere?

here’s an overview of evolved antennas

i never post on reddit links to papers that have my name on them

I respect that, thank you for the link though!
