Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The concept of responding to the risk of water pipelines failure has been undergoing through a great change from being active to being proactive to failure events by planning for rehabilitation plans that maintain the water main in good working conditions. This paper designs a framework to evaluate the risk of water main failure using hierarchal fuzzy expert system. There are sixteen risk-of-failure factors that represent both the probability of failure and the negative consequences of failure event and are categorized into four main risk-of-failure factors. A risk of failure model is built that evaluates the risk of pipelines failure using Fuzzy Expert System technique that accounts for the uncertainty usually encountered when evaluating the risk of failure. Some of the findings are that the pipe age gives a strong indication of the condition of the water mains, then, the pipe material and breakage rate come into play, and that the damage to surroundings/business disruption has the most negative impact of a failure event.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
