Abstract In metal additive manufacturing, geometries with high aspect ratio (AR) features are often associated defects caused by thermal stresses and other related build failures. Ideally, excessively AR would be detected removed in the design phase to avoid unwanted failure during manufacture. However, is scale orientation independent identifying across all scales orientations exceptionally ch...

Traditionally, the prediction of problematic calls in Interactive Voice Response systems in call centers has been based either on dialog state transitions and recognition log data, or on caller emotion. We present a combined model incorporating both types of feature sets that achieved 79.22% classification accuracy of problematic and non-problematic calls after only the first four turns in a hu...
