Rapid, Lower-Cost Fatigue Assessment for Metal Components
TS-077316 —
Fatigue qualification of metal components can require lengthy, expensive cyclic testing, particularly when component geometry, manufacturing history, and material gradients make coupon-level data insufficient. Thermal assessment offers a faster alternative, but conventional approaches rely on full…

Adaptive Long-Context Multimodal Modeling for City-Scale Accident Risk Prediction
TS-077096 —
Urban traffic accidents are difficult to predict because risk changes rapidly with traffic conditions, weather, human activity, road characteristics, and events occurring elsewhere in a city. Existing prediction approaches often rely on fixed historical windows or isolated data sources, limiting t…

A Novel Machine Learning Approach for Classification at the Network Edge
TS-073225 —
In today's world, we are increasingly using low-cost devices with limited resources (often referred to as "edge devices") which are supported by connected high-performance servers. However, these edge devices often can't handle complex tasks such as classifying data. To make this possible, we need…

Model-Based, Multi-Criteria Optimization for Sensor Placement and Selection
TS-073138 —
Designing online monitoring (OLM) for safety‑critical systems is constrained by scarce early‑stage operational data and by quantitative models that are slow to build, brittle across configurations, and costly to iterate. This creates expensive sensor networks with blind spots, poor diagnosabil…
