Abstract
Abstract Manipulation and optimization of copolymer microstructure for tailoring final properties is of great importance in macromolecular science and engineering. Uncovering the complexities of the interrelationships between copolymerization recipe and copolymer microstructure (a challenging field of study in its own right) is a multiobjective optimization problem, which has attracted a lot of attention in the last 10–15 years. In the present study, a powerful optimizer is developed based on the Non‐dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA‐II) for transforming desired microstructural copolymerization profiles, including molecular weight distribution and chemical composition distribution, back to optimal copolymerization recipes and operating conditions. The optimizer developed has the beneficial features of robust machine learning and multiobjective optimization based upon heuristic search strategies. The metallocene‐catalyzed ethylene/α‐olefin copolymerization is selected as a sufficiently complex system to challenge the proposed optimization tool. The developed computer code is used to explore copolymerization recipes (polymerization temperature and concentrations of ethylene, 1butene, cocatalyst, and hydrogen) needed to synthesize copolymers having desired microstructural features. Based on the results obtained, it is now possible to produce various grades or tailor‐make the copolymer structure by suggesting the “best” copolymerization recipe/conditions as reliably as possible.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
