Abstract
The true realization of the benefits of vibration based structural health monitoring (VBSHM) in real-world applications is acquired through long-term continuous monitoring so that one can attain a detailed grasp of the behavior of the monitored structure. The challenges in long-term continuous VBSHM include: the large volume of accumulated monitoring data; the effective extraction of engineering information amid the influences of noise and uncertainties embedded in the monitoring data; maintaining continuity and consistency in the long-term monitoring data considering that the system and instrumentation may change due to sensor failure or renewal due to advances in sensing technologies. To meet these challenges, this paper presents recent research that has resulted in the development of a framework and specialized signal processing and data analytic tools for long-term continuous VBSHM suitable for real-world monitoring applications of structures in the field. These include efficient tools for large scale intelligent data processing and analysis, management of monitoring database and extracted information relevant to the structural health of the monitored structure. The novel Automated In-Line Full Space Identification (AI-FSI) method is presented to address the needs and challenges associated with long-term continuous VBSHM, such as the automation of all data processing and analysis operations including modal parameter estimations and mode tracking, and the need of minimizing the measurement and computational uncertainties and variability in the operational modal analysis results. A smart self-diagnostic system for the monitoring of the health of the data collection sensors and monitoring system has also been developed that will allow the consistent use of the monitoring data of different sensor configurations and era in the monitoring project. Examples on the efficiency of analyzing the monitoring data collected over 20 years from the Confederation Bridge monitoring project in Atlantic Canada by using the developed novel framework and data analytic tools are presented.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
