A Systematic Review of Available Datasets in Additive Manufacturing

In-situ monitoring incorporating data from visual and other sensor technologies, allows the collection of extensive datasets during the Additive Manufacturing (AM) process. These datasets have potential for determining the quality of the manufactured output and the detection of defects through the use of Machine Learning during the manufacturing process. Open and annotated datasets derived from AM processes are necessary for the machine learning community to address this opportunity, which creates difficulties in the application of computer vision-related machine learning in AM. This systematic review investigates the availability of open image-based datasets originating from AM processes that align with a number of pre-defined selection criteria. The review identifies existing gaps among the current image-based datasets in the domain of AM, and points to the need for greater availability of open datasets in order to allow quality assessment and defect detection during additive manufacturing, to develop.

AudRandAug: Random Image Augmentations for Audio Classification

Data augmentation has proven to be effective in training neural networks. Recently, a method called RandAug was proposed, randomly selecting data augmentation techniques from a predefined search space. RandAug has demonstrated significant performance improvements for image-related tasks while imposing minimal computational overhead. However, no prior research has explored the application of RandAug specifically for audio data augmentation, which converts audio into an image-like pattern. To address this gap, we introduce AudRandAug, an adaptation of RandAug for audio data. AudRandAug selects data augmentation policies from a dedicated audio search space. To evaluate the effectiveness of AudRandAug, we conducted experiments using various models and datasets. Our findings indicate that AudRandAug outperforms other existing data augmentation methods regarding accuracy performance.

Defect Classification in Additive Manufacturing Using CNN-Based Vision Processing

The development of computer vision and in-situ monitoring using visual sensors allows the collection of large datasets from the additive manufacturing (AM) process. Such datasets could be used with machine learning techniques to improve the quality of AM. This paper examines two scenarios: first, using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to accurately classify defects in an image dataset from AM and second, applying active learning techniques to the developed classification model. This allows the construction of a human-in-the-loop mechanism to reduce the size of the data required to train and generate training data.

Advanced Data Augmentation Approaches: A Comprehensive Survey and Future directions

Deep learning (DL) algorithms have shown significant performance in various computer vision tasks. However, having limited labelled data lead to a network overfitting problem, where network performance is bad on unseen data as compared to training data. Consequently, it limits performance improvement. To cope with this problem, various techniques have been proposed such as dropout, normalization and advanced data augmentation. Among these, data augmentation, which aims to enlarge the dataset size by including sample diversity, has been a hot topic in recent times. In this article, we focus on advanced data augmentation techniques. we provide a background of data augmentation, a novel and comprehensive taxonomy of reviewed data augmentation techniques, and the strengths and weaknesses (wherever possible) of each technique. We also provide comprehensive results of the data augmentation effect on three popular computer vision tasks, such as image classification, object detection and semantic segmentation. For results reproducibility, we compiled available codes of all data augmentation techniques. Finally, we discuss the challenges and difficulties, and possible future direction for the research community. We believe, this survey provides several benefits i) readers will understand the data augmentation working mechanism to fix overfitting problems ii) results will save the searching time of the researcher for comparison purposes. iii) Codes of the mentioned data augmentation techniques are available at https://github.com/kmr2017/Advanced-Data-augmentation-codes iv) Future work will spark interest in research community.

An adaptive human-in-the-loop approach to emission detection of Additive Manufacturing processes and active learning with computer vision

Recent developments in in-situ monitoring and process control in Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D-printing, allows the collection of large amounts of emission data during the build process of the parts being manufactured. This data can be used as input into 3D and 2D representations of the 3D-printed parts. However the analysis and use, as well as the characterization of this data still remains a manual process. The aim of this paper is to propose an adaptive human-in-the-loop approach using Machine Learning techniques that automatically inspect and annotate the emissions data generated during the AM process. More specifically, this paper will look at two scenarios: firstly, using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to automatically inspect and classify emission data collected by in-situ monitoring and secondly, applying Active Learning techniques to the developed classification model to construct a human-in-the-loop mechanism in order to accelerate the labeling process of the emission data. The CNN-based approach relies on transfer learning and fine-tuning, which makes the approach applicable to other industrial image patterns. The adaptive nature of the approach is enabled by uncertainty sampling strategy to automatic selection of samples to be presented to human experts for annotation.

Probabilistic Inductive Logic Programming Based on Answer Set Programming

We propose a new formal language for the expressive representation of probabilistic knowledge based on Answer Set Programming (ASP). It allows for the annotation of first-order formulas as well as ASP rules and facts with probabilities and for learning of such weights from data (parameter estimation). Weighted formulas are given a semantics in terms of soft and hard constraints which determine a probability distribution over answer sets. In contrast to related approaches, we approach inference by optionally utilizing so-called streamlining XOR constraints, in order to reduce the number of computed answer sets. Our approach is prototypically implemented. Examples illustrate the introduced concepts and point at issues and topics for future research.
