Learning to encode differences in the geometry and (topological) structure of the shapes of ordinary objects is key to generating semantically plausible variations of a given shape, transferring edits from one shape to another, and many…
Generative models have attracted considerable attention for their ability to produce novel shapes. However, their application in mechanical design remains constrained due to the limited size and variability of available datasets. This study…
