TY - JOUR A1 - Xu, Xukuan A1 - Donghui, Li A1 - Bi, Jinghou A1 - Möckel, Michael T1 - AutoML based workflow for design of experiments (DOE) selection and benchmarking data acquisition strategies with simulation models JF - Scientific Reports N2 - Design of experiments (DOE) is an established method to allocate resources for efficient parameter space exploration. Model based active learning (AL) data sampling strategies have shown potential for further optimization. This paper introduces a workflow for conducting DOE comparative studies using automated machine learning. Based on a practical definition of model complexity in the context of machine learning, the interplay of systematic data generation and model performance is examined considering various sources of uncertainty: this includes uncertainties caused by stochastic sampling strategies, imprecise data, suboptimal modeling, and model evaluation. Results obtained from electrical circuit models with varying complexity show that not all AL sampling strategies outperform conventional DOE strategies, depending on the available data volume, the complexity of the dataset, and data uncertainties. Trade-offs in resource allocation strategies, in particular between identical replication of data points for statistical noise reduction and broad sampling for maximum parameter space exploration, and their impact on subsequent machine learning analysis are systematically investigated. Results indicate that replication oriented strategies should not be dismissed but may prove advantageous for cases with non-negligible noise impact and intermediate resource availability. The provided workflow can be used to simulate practical experimental conditions for DOE testing and DOE selection.

Machine learning (ML) based process monitoring provides solutions to mitigate the impact of substantial scrap rates by repeated multifactorial quality predictions (virtual quality gates) along the process line. This enables an early rejection of battery cells which are unlikely to reach required specifications, avoids further waste of resources at later process steps and simplifies recycling of rejected cells. A hierarchical architecture is used to apply ML algorithms first for process-adapted feature extraction which is guided by a priori knowledge on typical production anomalies. In a second step, these features are correlated with end-of-line quality control data using explainable ML methods. The resulting predictions may lead to pass or fail of a battery cell, or -in the context of flexible production- may also trigger adjustments of later process steps to compensate for detected deficiencies. An example ML based quality control concept is illustrated for a pilot battery cell production line.
