arXiv:2604.01480v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Metasurface inverse design has become central to realizing complex optical functionality, yet translating target responses into executable, solver-compatible workflows still demands specialized expertise in computational electromagnetics and solver-specific software engineering. Recent large language models (LLMs) offer a complementary route to reducing this workflow-construction burden, but existing language-driven systems remain largely session-bounded and do not preserve reusable workflow knowledge across inverse-design tasks. We present an agentic framework for metasurface inverse design that addresses this limitation through context-level skill evolution. The framework couples a coding agent, evolving skill artifacts, and a deterministic evaluator grounded in physical simulation so that solver-specific strategies can be iteratively refined across tasks without modifying model weights or the underlying physics solver. We evaluate the framework on a benchmark spanning multiple metasurface inverse-design task types, with separate training-aligned and held-out task families. Evolved skills raise in-distribution task success from 38% to 74%, increase criteria pass fraction from 0.510 to 0.870, and reduce average attempts from 4.10 to 2.30. On held-out task families, binary success changes only marginally, but improvements in best margin together with shifts in error composition and agent behavior indicate partial transfer of workflow knowledge. These results suggest that the main value of skill evolution lies in accumulating reusable solver-specific expertise around reliable computational engines, thereby offering a practical path toward more autonomous and accessible metasurface inverse-design workflows.

arXiv:2604.01712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The wind-induced structural response forecasting capabilities of a novel transformer methodology are examined here. The model also provides a digital twin component for bridge structural health monitoring. Firstly, the approach uses the temporal characteristics of the system to train a forecasting model. Secondly, the vibration predictions are compared to the measured ones to detect large deviations. Finally, the identified cases are used as an early-warning indicator of structural change. The artificial intelligence-based model outperforms approaches for response forecasting as no assumption on wind stationarity or on structural normal vibration behavior is needed. Specifically, wind-excited dynamic behavior suffers from uncertainty related to obtaining poor predictions when the environmental or traffic conditions change. This results in a hard distinction of what constitutes normal vibration behavior. To this end, a framework is rigorously examined on real-world measurements from the Hardanger Bridge monitored by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The approach captures accurate structural behavior in realistic conditions, and with respect to the changes in the system excitation. The results, importantly, highlight the potential of transformer-based digital twin components to serve as next-generation tools for resilient infrastructure management, continuous learning, and adaptive monitoring over the system's lifecycle with respect to temporal characteristics.
