Abstract
The monitoring and maintenance of existing civil infrastructure has recently received worldwide attention. Several structural health monitoring methods have been developed, including time-, frequency-, and time–frequency domain methods of modal identification and damage detection to estimate the structural and modal parameters of large-scale structures. However, there are several implementation challenges of these modal identification methods, depending on the size of the structures, measurement noise, number of available sensors, and their operational loads. In this paper, two modal identification methods, Second-Order Blind Identification (SOBI) and Time-Varying Filtering Empirical Mode Decomposition (TVF-EMD), are evaluated and compared for large-scale structures including a footbridge and a wind turbine blade with a wide range of dynamic characteristics. The results show that TVF-EMD results in better accuracy in modal identification compared to SOBI for both structures. However, when the number of sensors is equal to or more than the number of target modes of the structure, SOBI results in better computational efficiencies compared to TVF-EMD.

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
