Tracks: Computer Applications

One of the most prominent techniques used for of inclusion analysis is automated scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The output data generated from the analysis is extensive, and many studies have focused on examining the chemistries and size distributions of inclusions. This work applies machine learning approaches to classify inclusions and to characterize relationships between the variables that describe an inclusion population. Machine learning enables investigation of trends in the data and relationships between other variables that can often be difficult to perceive. Techniques to optimize data analysis and collection will also be examined.
