Research Grant

Summary: This project is a collaboration with the Materials Center Leoben (MCL), who is coordinating this effort, and a couple of partner institutions, including University of Technology, Graz, Austria. The main research question is how to use machine learning techniques for industrial condition monitoring with the main goal to extend lifetime of machinery by continuous monitoring and assessment of state. Within this collaboration we are most concerned with finding resource-efficient neural networks to make them inline with embedded systems close to the point of interest.

While the first phase (2018-2021) was mainly considering state-of-the-art neural networks for the prediction task, such as convolutional or residual ones, in the second phase (2022-2024) the focus shifted to probabilistic models to also capture uncertainty.

The project has received funding by “Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft mbH (FFG)”, Austria.
