Recent advances in the application of deep learning for fault diagnosis of rotating machinery using vibration signals
Bayu Adhi Tama, Malinda Vania, Seung‐Chul Lee, Sunghoon Lim
SJR Q1Artificial Intelligence ReviewOA

Abstract Vibration measurement and monitoring are essential in a wide variety of applications. Vibration measurements are critical for diagnosing industrial machinery malfunctions because they provide information about the condition of the rotating equipment. Vibration analysis is considered the most effective method for predictive maintenance because it is used to troubleshoot instantaneous faults as well as periodic maintenance. Numerous studies conducted in this vein have been published in a

Fluorescent Molecular Rotors for Viscosity Sensors
Seung‐Chul Lee, Jeongyun Heo, Hee Chul Woo, Ji‐Ah Lee, Young Hun Seo, Chang‐Lyoul Lee, Sehoon Kim, O‐Pil Kwon
SJR Q1Chemistry - A European Journal

Fluorescent molecular rotors (FMRs) can act as viscosity sensors in various media including subcellular organelles and microfluidic channels. In FMRs, the rotation of rotators connected to a fluorescent π-conjugated bridge is suppressed by increasing environmental viscosity, resulting in increasing fluorescence (FL) intensity. In this minireview, we describe recently developed FMRs including push-pull type π-conjugated chromophores, meso-phenyl (borondipyrromethene) (BODIPY) derivatives, dioxabo

SJR Q1Materials & DesignOA

Identifying phase information of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) can be helpful as it provides useful information such as anticipated mechanical properties. Recently, machine learning methods are attracting interest to predict phases of HEAs, which could reduce the effort for designing new HEAs. As research direction is in its infancy, there is still plenty of room to develop machine learning models to improve the prediction accuracy and further guide the design of HEAs. In this work, we employ deep

Recent Advances of Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing Industrial Sectors: A Review
Sung Wook Kim, Jun Ho Kong, Sang Won Lee, Seung‐Chul Lee
SJR Q2International Journal of Precision Engineering and ManufacturingOA

Abstract The recent advances in artificial intelligence have already begun to penetrate our daily lives. Even though the development is still in its infancy, it has been shown that it can outperform human beings even in terms of intelligence (e.g., AlphaGo by DeepMind), implying a massive potential for its broader application in various industrial sectors. In particular, the growing public interest in industry 4.0, which focuses on revolutionizing the traditional manufacturing scene, has stimula

Improving an Intelligent Detection System for Coronary Heart Disease Using a Two‐Tier Classifier Ensemble
Bayu Adhi Tama, Sun Im, Seung‐Chul Lee
SJR Q2BioMed Research InternationalOA

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the severe health issues and is one of the most common types of heart diseases. It is the most frequent cause of mortality across the globe due to the lack of a healthy lifestyle. Owing to the fact that a heart attack occurs without any apparent symptoms, an intelligent detection method is inescapable. In this article, a new CHD detection method based on a machine learning technique, e.g., classifier ensembles, is dealt with. A two‐tier ensemble is built, w

Deep learning acceleration of multiscale superresolution localization photoacoustic imaging
Jongbeom Kim, Gyuwon Kim, Lei Li, Pengfei Zhang, Jin Young Kim, Yeonggeun Kim, Hyung Ham Kim, Lihong V. Wang, Seung‐Chul Lee, Chulhong Kim
SJR Q1Light Science & ApplicationsOA

A superresolution imaging approach that localizes very small targets, such as red blood cells or droplets of injected photoacoustic dye, has significantly improved spatial resolution in various biological and medical imaging modalities. However, this superior spatial resolution is achieved by sacrificing temporal resolution because many raw image frames, each containing the localization target, must be superimposed to form a sufficiently sampled high-density superresolution image. Here, we demon

SJR Q1Advanced ScienceOA

Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) has become a premier preclinical and clinical imaging modality. Although PACT's image quality can be dramatically improved with a large number of ultrasound (US) transducer elements and associated multiplexed data acquisition systems, the associated high system cost and/or slow temporal resolution are significant problems. Here, a deep learning-based approach is demonstrated that qualitatively and quantitively diminishes the limited-view artifacts that re

SJR Q1Journal of Clinical MedicineOA

Voice changes may be the earliest signs in laryngeal cancer. We investigated whether automated voice signal analysis can be used to distinguish patients with laryngeal cancer from healthy subjects. We extracted features using the software package for speech analysis in phonetics (PRAAT) and calculated the Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) from voice samples of a vowel sound of /a:/. The proposed method was tested with six algorithms: support vector machine (SVM), extreme gradient boost

The recent increase in application of Additive Manufacturing (AM) products has resulted in new demands throughout the industry. Although FDM-based products are used in various fields, the mechanical properties of such products still tend to be weaker than that of the products manufactured through conventional manufacturing processes. Therefore, improving the mechanical properties of FDM-printed products is a key factor that can greatly contribute to the manufacturing industry. In this study, ten

Steel Surface Defect Diagnostics Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network and Class Activation Map
Soo Young Lee, Bayu Adhi Tama, Seok Jun Moon, Seung‐Chul Lee
SJR Q2Applied SciencesOA

Steel defect diagnostics is considerably important for a steel-manufacturing industry as it is strongly related to the product quality and production efficiency. Product quality control suffers from a real-time diagnostic capability since it is less-automatic and is not reliable in detecting steel surface defects. In this study, we propose a relatively new approach for diagnosing steel defects using a deep structured neural network, e.g., convolutional neural network (CNN) with class activation

SJR Q1npj Computational MaterialsOA

Abstract The digitized format of microstructures, or digital microstructures, plays a crucial role in modern-day materials research. Unfortunately, the acquisition of digital microstructures through experimental means can be unsuccessful in delivering sufficient resolution that is necessary to capture all relevant geometric features of the microstructures. The resolution-sensitive microstructural features overlooked due to insufficient resolution may limit one’s ability to conduct a thorough mic

SJR Q1Journal of Energy StorageOA

In this study, a multiphysics-informed neural network (MPINN) is proposed for the estimation and prediction of thermal runaway (TR) in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). MPINNs are encoded with the governing laws of physics, including the energy balance equation and Arrhenius law, ensuring accurate estimation of time and space-dependent temperature and dimensionless concentration in comparison to a purely data-driven approach. Specifically, the network is trained using data from a high-fidelity model

SJR Q1Scientific ReportsOA

Discrimination of ovarian tumors is necessary for proper treatment. In this study, we developed a convolutional neural network model with a convolutional autoencoder (CNN-CAE) to classify ovarian tumors. A total of 1613 ultrasound images of ovaries with known pathological diagnoses were pre-processed and augmented for deep learning analysis. We designed a CNN-CAE model that removes the unnecessary information (e.g., calipers and annotations) from ultrasound images and classifies ovaries into fiv
