Considerations in AI - Unsupervised Machine Leaning Is Error Prone?
Unsupervised learning has become an essential building block of artifical intelligence systems. The representations it produces, for example, in foundation models, are critical to a wide variety of downstream applications. It is therefore important to carefully examine unsupervised models to ensure not only that they produce accurate predictions on the available data but also that these accurate predictions do not arise from a Clever Hans (CH) effect. Here, using specially developed explainable artifical in

AI-Powered Drone Swarms for Industrial Wind Turbine Inspection
A research team from the University of Klagenfurt is collaborating with industry partner AIR6 SYSTEMS on the FFG-funded DORBINE project to create a novel technology that employs artificial intelligence to manage swarms of drones that monitor wind turbines while in operation.
Traditionally, to check wind turbines for damage, they must be turned off. This indicates that these wind turbines are not producing any energy during the shutdown time. Moreover, wind turbine inspections are typically expensiv

Lightweight DCGAN and MobileNet Model Detect Welding Defects
X-ray nondestructive testing technology is widely used for inspecting welds and identifying defects, and is crucial in the manufacturing industry. However, the diversity of welding defects and the imbalanced defect samples reduce defect classification model accuracy and can cause classifier overfitting. This paper proposes an improved DCGAN model for generating welding defect samples by integrating deep convolutional neural networks to enhance the training relationship between the generator and discriminato
