Abstract
Product concept development is an iterative and time-consuming task. A wide range of solutions must be developed and evaluated for the optimal result. Current methods in product concept development rely on experience of designers to explore different solutions. Reinforcement learning is a machine learning paradigm where an agent learns to make sequential decisions by interacting with the environment, receiving rewards or penalties in return for its actions. An automatic approach is introduced in this paper to manage design data and knowledge in using reinforcement learning for product concept development and evaluation. A multi-agent reinforcement learning method is proposed to enable different agents working and learning together in a shared design environment. The environment is formed by the design data and knowledge based on Quality Function Deployment and Axiomatic Design for different agents to achieve the same objective collaboratively. The proposed method improves functionality, efficiency, and user experience of the design process in product concept development. A case study of designing a rehabilitation device verifies the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

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
