AbstractLaser wakefield accelerators promise to revolutionize many areas of accelerator science. However, one of the greatest challenges to their widespread adoption is the difficulty in control and optimization of the accelerator outputs due to coupling between input parameters and the dynamic evolution of the accelerating structure. Here, we use machine learning techniques to automate a 100 MeV-scale accelerator, which optimized its outputs by simultaneously varying up to six parameters including the spectral and spatial phase of the laser and the plasma density and length. Most notably, the model built by the algorithm enabled optimization of the laser evolution that might otherwise have been missed in single-variable scans. Subtle tuning of the laser pulse shape caused an 80% increase in electron beam charge, despite the pulse length changing by just 1%.

In this chapter we review various computational models of locally recurrent neurons and deliberate the architecture of some archetypal locally recurrent neural networks (LRNNs) that are based on them. Generalizations of these structures are discussed as well. Furthermore, we point at a number of realworld applications of LRNNs that have been reported in past and recent publications. These applications involve classification or prediction of temporal sequences, discovering and modeling of spatial and temporal correlations, process identification and control, etc. Validation experiments reported in these developments provide evidence that locally recurrent architectures are capable of identifying and exploiting temporal and spatial correlations (i.e., the context in which events occur), which is the main reason for their advantageous performance when compared with the one of their non-recurrent counterparts or other reasonable machine learning techniques.

In most cases, the benchmarking models of energy use in houses are developed based on current and past data, and they continue to be used without any update. This paper proposes the method of retraining of benchmarking models by applying machine learning techniques when new measurements are made available. The method uses as a case study the measurements of heating energy demand from two semi-detached houses of Northern Canada. The results of the prediction of heating energy demand using static or augmented window techniques are compared with measurements. The daily energy signature is used as a benchmarking model due to its simplicity and performance. However, the proposed retraining method can be applied to any form of benchmarking model. The method should be applied in all possible situations, and be an integral part of intelligent building automation and control systems (BACS) for the ongoing commissioning for building energy-related applications.

This chapter provides an analysis of the state-of-the-art in ML applications for optimizing the additive manufacturing process. This chapter primarily presents a review of the literature on the use of machine learning (ML) in optimizing the additive manufacturing process at various stages. The chapter identifies ML-researched areas in which ML can be used to optimize processes such as process design, process plan and control, process monitoring, quality enhancement of additively manufactured products, and so on. In addition, general literature on the intersection of additive manufacturing and machine learning will be presented. The benefits and drawbacks of ML for additive manufacturing will be discussed, as well as existing obstacles that are currently limiting applications.

Abstract With the advent of Industry 4.0, which conceptualizes self-monitoring of rotating machine parts by adopting techniques like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, cloud computing, etc. The significant research area in predictive maintenance is Tool Condition Monitoring (TCM) as the tool condition affects the overall machining process and its economics. Lately, machine learning techniques are being used to classify the tool's condition in operation. These techniques are cost-saving and help industries with adopting future-proof solutions for their operations. One such technique called Discriminant analysis (DA) must be examined particularly for TCM. Owing to its less expensive computation and shorter run times, using them in TCM will ensure effective use of the cutting tool and reduce maintenance times. This paper presents a Bayesian optimized discriminant analysis model to classify and monitor the tool condition into three user-defined classes. The data is collected using an in-house designed and developed Data Acquisition (DAQ) module set up on a Vertical Machining Center (VMC). The hyperparameter tuning has been incorporated using Bayesian optimization search, and the parameter which gives the best model was found out to be ‘Linear’, achieving an accuracy of 93.3%. This work confirms the feasibility of machine learning techniques like DA in the field of TCM and using Bayesian optimization algorithms to fine-tune the model, making it industry-ready.
