| 3 | In top-down layout a strategy needs to be used to set node sizes without knowledge of the hierarchical contents of the node as that has not been processed/laid out at that point. Current strategies are: | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | * Using a default base size | ||
| 6 | * Counting the number of children and taking the square root as a multiplication factor for the default base size | ||
| 7 | * Computing the layout of only the children (look-ahead layout) | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | The main challenge is to get an approximation that gives a suitable aspect ratio (close to what will actually be required). | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | Graphs are complex feature vectors and the solution space is very large without necessarily one correct and optimal answer. Therefore, a machine learning (ML)-based approach may help find good solutions. | ||

| 21 | * Use the KiCoDia benchmarking tool to extract feature vectors from existing models | ||
| 22 | * Train and evaluate an ML model on the extracted data sets | ||
| 23 | * Integrate the model as a new node size approximator into top-down layout | ||
