Its goal to build new and/or leverage existing algorithms to learn from training data and give accurate predictions, or to find patterns, particularly with new and unseen similar data, fits perfectly to Non-Destructive Evaluation. The advantages of ML in NDE are obvious in such tasks as pattern recognition in acoustic signals or automated processing of images from X-ray, Ultrasonics or optical methods. Fraunhofer IKTS is using machine learning algorithms in acoustic signal analysis. The approach had been applied to such a variety of tasks in quality assessment. The principal approach is based on acoustic signal processing with a primary and secondary analysis step followed by a cognitive system to create model data. Already in the second analysis steps unsupervised learning algorithms as principal component analysis are used to simplify data structures. In the cognitive part of the software further unsupervised and supervised learning algorithms will be trained. Later the sensor signals from unknown samples can be recognized and classified automatically by the algorithms trained before. Recently the IKTS team was able to transfer the software for signal processing and pattern recognition to a small printed circuit board (PCB). Still, algorithms will be trained on an ordinary PC; however, trained algorithms run on the Digital Signal Processor and the FPGA chip. The identical approach will be used for pattern recognition in image analysis of OCT pictures. Some key requirements have to be fulfilled, however. A sufficiently large set of training data, a high signal-to-noise ratio, and an optimized and exact fixation of components are required. The automated testing can be done subsequently by the machine. By integrating the test data of many components along the value chain further optimization including lifetime and durability prediction based on big data becomes possible, even if components are used in different versions or configurations. This is the promise behind German Industry 4.0.

In this rapidly growing field, the signals have an increasing complexity leading to the fact that powerful models are required. Methods like DTW and HMM, which are established in speech recognition, have been successfully used but are not sufficient in all cases. We propose the application of generalized structured Markov graphs (SMG). We describe a task independent structure learning technique which automatically adapts the models to the structure of the test signals. We demonstrate that our solution outperforms hand-tuned HMM structures in terms of class discrimination by two case studies using data from real applications.

YOLO-ICP integrates a real-time object detection algorithm with a point cloud registration method to estimate the pose of multiple objects. We evaluated our approach by quantitatively comparing it with baseline models on the OccludedLINEMOD dataset. Experimental results illustrate that our approach outperforms baseline models in challenging scenarios with textureless and occluded objects. In particular, our pipeline shows superior performance when dealing with small and symmetric objects in terms of the ADD(-S) metric.

Layers of deposited material (steel or copper) were created using LAM. The quality of these layers was either good or unstable. The AEs were recorded using three sensors, one microphone, and two structure-borne sound probes. The recorded signals were processed and transformed using the fast Fourier method. Then models were trained with the processed data and evaluated using a fivefold cross-validation. Results show that it is possible to accurately classify the materials used during LAM (up to a balanced accuracy [BAcc] score of 0.99). Also, the process quality could be classified with a BAcc score of up to 0.81. Overall, the results are promising, but further research and data collection are necessary for a proper validation of our results.

Konferenz Halle/Saale, 5.–7. März 2025 N2 - This study presents recent advancements in Upper Sorbian Speech-to-Text (STT) technology. We provide an overview of the Sorbian languages, the available speech and language resources, and the development of an STT system based on a traditional approach, which includes acoustic, pronunciation, and language modeling. Due to the scarcity of resources for Sorbian languages, our approach leverages sub-word and word-class modeling techniques. The word-class modeling is based on Finite-State Transducer definitions, which are applicable to both offline text parsing and integration into the decoding graph of the STT system. Word-class parsing is performed on the speech corpus and utilized for language modeling with complete words, sub-word units, or both. Additionally, the same definitions can be applied to Named Entity Recognition during the post-processing of recognized transcriptions. This approach significantly reduces out-of-vocabulary words and enables greater customization of the recognizer for domain-specific applications. The system was implemented for the real-time transcription of church sermon broadcasts in Upper Sorbian. The domain-specific system achieved performance comparable to fine-tuned OpenAI Whisper models developed also by other initiatives while also providing a resource-efficient solution with semantically tagged recognition results.

Speech Technologies and Artificial Intelligence present promising opportunities to address this crisis by supporting the documentation, revitalization, and everyday use of these vulnerable languages. However, despite recent and remarkable advancements in speech technology, significant challenges persist, particularly for languages with very limited resources and unique linguistic features. This paper details the development of Upper Sorbian speech technologies, focusing on the creation of a practical Speech-to-Text (STT) system as a versatile tool for language preservation. The study explores the current state of Sorbian languages and underscores collaborative efforts with the Foundation for the Sorbian People. Through a series of pilot and successive projects, each phase has contributed to the steady advancement of speech recognition modules and supporting tools, improving their performance, effectiveness and practical usability.

Great demands are being placed on the quality of battery cells and their electrochemical properties. Therefore, the understanding of interactions between products and processes and the implementation of quality management measures are essential factors that requires inline capable process monitoring. In battery cell lamination processes, a typical problem source of quality issues can be seen in missing or misaligned components (anodes, cathodes and separators). An automatic detection of missing or misaligned components, however, has not been established thus far. In this study, acoustic measurements to detect components in battery cell lamination were applied. Although the use of acoustic measurement methods for process monitoring has already proven its usefulness in various fields of application, it has not yet been applied to battery cell production. While laminating battery electrodes and separators, acoustic emissions were recorded. Signal analysis and machine learning techniques were used to acoustically distinguish the individual components that have been processed. This way, the detection of components with a balanced accuracy of up to 83% was possible, proving the feasibility of the concept as an inline capable monitoring system.
