Unsupervised learning of part similarity for goal-guided accelerated experiment design in metal additive manufacturing by Rui Liu, Sen Liu, Xiaoli Zhang

“…In this work, a similarity-based acceleration (S-acceleration) method for design of experiments is developed using K-means clustering and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) unsupervised learning algorithms to reduce the time and costs associated with unveiling process-property (porosity defects) relationships during manufacturing. With S-acceleration, part semantic features from machine-setting parameters and physics-effects informed characteristics are explored for measuring mutual part similarities. …”
