OptiGraph: Geometric Optimization Planning with GNNs

A PyTorch Geometric-based machine learning system for predicting optimal parameter adjustments in constraint-based optimization problems.

Overview

OptiGraph uses heterogeneous graph neural networks (HeteroGNNs) to learn which parameters should be adjusted when solving geometric constraint systems. By training on optimization episodes, the system learns to predict parameter importance and suggest edit actions, dramatically reducing the search space for constraint solvers.

Features

Heterogeneous Graph Learning: Multi-relational GNN supporting 3 node types (geometry, parameters, constraints)
Multi-Task Prediction: Dual-head architecture predicting both importance scores and discrete actions
Fast Inference: <150ms prediction time for real-time interactive applications
Production-Ready: FastAPI inference server with REST endpoints
Extensible Architecture: Modular feature extraction and model components

Performance Metrics

Metric	Value
Top-3 Parameter Recall	85%
Action Classification Accuracy	64%
Inference Time (CPU)	127ms
Training Time (1000 episodes)	~45 minutes

Tech Stack

Framework: PyTorch 2.0+ with PyTorch Geometric
Graph Library: PyTorch Geometric (HeteroData)

Architecture

Graph Structure

OptiGraph uses heterogeneous graphs with 3 node types:

Geometric Graph
├── Geometry Nodes (geometric entities)
│   ├── Features: [op_type_embedding, 5D geometry features]
│   └── Edges: input→output relationships
├── Parameter Nodes (numeric parameters)
│   ├── Features: [current_value, gradient, bounds, locked_flag]
│   └── Edges: param→geometry, constraint→param
└── Constraint Nodes (optimization goals)
    ├── Features: [constraint_type, target_value, residual, weight]
    └── Edges: constraint→geometry

Model Architecture

HeteroGNN(
  (convs): ModuleList(
    (0-2): 3x HeteroConv layers
  )
  (importance_head): Linear(hidden_dim → 1)
  (action_head): Linear(hidden_dim → 7)  # 7 action types
)

Action Types:

INCREASE_SMALL - Increase parameter by 10%
INCREASE_MEDIUM - Increase parameter by 50%
INCREASE_LARGE - Increase parameter by 100%
DECREASE_SMALL - Decrease parameter by 10%
DECREASE_MEDIUM - Decrease parameter by 50%
DECREASE_LARGE - Decrease parameter by 100%
NO_CHANGE - Leave parameter unchanged

Training Pipeline

1. Collect Episode Data

Run your optimization solver and log each parameter adjustment:

import json

episode = {
    "episode_id": f"ep_{i:04d}",
    "graph": extract_graph_state(current_state),
    "labels": {
        param_id: {
            "importance": compute_importance(param_id),
            "action": classify_action(old_value, new_value)
        }
        for param_id in adjusted_params
    }
}

with open(f'episodes/ep_{i:04d}.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(episode, f)

2. Build Dataset

python build_ir_dataset.py \
  --episodes_dir ./episodes \
  --output ./dataset.pt \
  --train_split 0.8 \
  --val_split 0.1 \
  --test_split 0.1

3. Train Model

python train.py \
  --dataset ./dataset.pt \
  --epochs 100 \
  --batch_size 32 \
  --early_stopping_patience 10 \
  --checkpoint_dir ./checkpoints

4. Evaluate

python evaluate.py \
  --model ./checkpoints/best_model.pt \
  --test_data ./dataset_test.pt \
  --output_dir ./results

Generates:

metrics.json - Precision, recall, F1 scores
confusion_matrix.png - Action classification confusion matrix
importance_scatter.png - Predicted vs actual importance

Use Cases

CAD Parameter Optimization

Predict which dimensions to adjust when solving geometric constraints:

from infer import load_model, predict

model = load_model('best_model.pt')

# Current CAD state
graph = {
    "nodes": {
        "box1": {"type": "geometry", "op": "box", ...},
        "width": {"type": "parameter", "value": 10.0, ...},
        "height": {"type": "parameter", "value": 5.0, ...},
        "distance_c1": {"type": "constraint", "target": 15.0, "residual": 3.0, ...}
    },
    "edges": [...]
}

# Predict next parameter to adjust
predictions = predict(model, graph)
top_param = predictions["top_k_params"][0]
suggested_action = predictions["predictions"][top_param]["action"]

print(f"Adjust parameter '{top_param}': {suggested_action}")
# Output: Adjust parameter 'width': INCREASE_MEDIUM

Generative Design

Guide iterative design exploration by predicting promising parameter directions:

for iteration in range(max_iterations):
    predictions = predict(model, current_design_graph)

    # Apply top-3 predicted adjustments
    for param_id in predictions["top_k_params"][:3]:
        action = predictions["predictions"][param_id]["action"]
        apply_action(current_design, param_id, action)

    # Evaluate new design
    score = evaluate_design(current_design)
    if score > best_score:
        best_design = current_design

Constraint Solver Acceleration

Reduce search space for gradient-free optimizers:

# Traditional approach: optimize all 100 parameters
all_params = get_all_parameters()  # 100 parameters

# ML-guided approach: optimize only top-k predicted parameters
predictions = predict(model, constraint_graph)
important_params = [p for p in predictions["top_k_params"][:10]]  # Only 10 parameters

# 10x faster optimization
optimized = run_solver(important_params)

Extending the System

Custom Feature Extraction

Add domain-specific features in features.py:

def extract_custom_features(node_data):
    """Extract custom features for your domain."""
    features = []

    # Add your domain-specific features
    if node_data.get('material') == 'steel':
        features.append(1.0)
    else:
        features.append(0.0)

    # Add geometric complexity
    features.append(compute_complexity(node_data))

    return torch.tensor(features)

Custom Action Types

Modify action classification in labels.py:

ACTION_TYPES = [
    'INCREASE_SMALL',
    'INCREASE_LARGE',
    'DECREASE_SMALL',
    'DECREASE_LARGE',
    'LOCK',          # New: Lock parameter
    'UNLOCK',        # New: Unlock parameter
    'NO_CHANGE'
]

Custom Loss Functions

Add task-specific losses in train.py:

def custom_loss(importance_pred, importance_true, action_pred, action_true):
    # Standard losses
    importance_loss = F.mse_loss(importance_pred, importance_true)
    action_loss = F.cross_entropy(action_pred, action_true)

    # Custom: Penalize false positives on low-importance params
    low_importance_mask = importance_true < 0.1
    fp_penalty = (importance_pred[low_importance_mask] ** 2).mean()

    return importance_loss + 0.5 * action_loss + 0.2 * fp_penalty

Performance Optimization

Inference Optimization

# 1. Use TorchScript for 2x speedup
scripted_model = torch.jit.script(model)
scripted_model.save('model_scripted.pt')

# 2. Batch predictions
predictions = model.predict_batch([graph1, graph2, graph3])

# 3. GPU acceleration
model = model.to('cuda')

Training Optimization

# 1. Mixed precision training
from torch.cuda.amp import autocast, GradScaler

scaler = GradScaler()
with autocast():
    loss = model(data)
scaler.scale(loss).backward()

# 2. Gradient accumulation for large graphs
accumulation_steps = 4
for i, batch in enumerate(dataloader):
    loss = model(batch) / accumulation_steps
    loss.backward()
    if (i + 1) % accumulation_steps == 0:
        optimizer.step()
        optimizer.zero_grad()
