The Surrogate Modeling Toolbox (SUMO Toolbox) is a Matlab toolbox that automatically builds accurate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_model surrogate models] (also known as metamodels or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_surface_methodology response surface models]) of a given data source (simulation code, data set, script, ...) within the accuracy and time constraints set by the user.  In doing so the toolbox minimizes the number of data points (which it chooses automatically) since they are usually expensive. The toolbox tries to be as adaptive and autonomous as possible, requiring no user input besides some initial configuration.

The Multivariate MetaModeling Toolbox (M3-Toolbox) is a Matlab toolbox that builds accurate, global (!) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_model surrogate models] (also known as metamodels or response surface models) of a given data source (data set, executable, ...).  In doing so the toolbox minimizes the number of simulator evaluations since they are usually expensive.

The toolbox has been designed to be as pluggable and extensible as possible.  This means that, allthough the out-of-the-box tools and algorithms are tailored to black box, behavioral modeling (ie. treat the system as a data generating black box that maps inputs onto outputs) there is nothing that prevents a user from plugging in grey/white box model types/modeling algorithms that DO take into account knowledge of the underlying system.  So really the toolbox provides a shared platform where different modeling/sampling techniques can be implemented and benchmarked on a wide variety of problems.  You can make it as problem specific or problem generic as you want it to be.

SUrrogate MOdeling (SUMO) Toolbox

The Surrogate Modeling Toolbox (SUMO Toolbox) is a Matlab toolbox that automatically builds accurate surrogate models (also known as metamodels or response surface models) of a given data source (simulation code, data set, script, ...) within the accuracy and time constraints set by the user. In doing so the toolbox minimizes the number of data points (which it chooses automatically) since they are usually expensive. The toolbox tries to be as adaptive and autonomous as possible, requiring no user input besides some initial configuration.

However, since there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all, the toolbox has been designed to be fully pluggable and extensible using standard object oriented design patterns. Implementations of the different components (model types, sampling strategies, model selection criteria, hyperparameter optimization algorithms,...) can be plugged-in, compared, or replaced by custom implementations. In this way the SUMO Toolbox provides a common platform to easily test and benchmark different sampling and approximation strategies while easily integrating in the engineering design process. more information....

We are constantly looking for highly motivated PhD candidates or post-docs, that have a strong interest in one of our research topics. Our research area is highly multidisciplinary, and requires strong mathematical, physical and computer science knowledge.
