Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Adaptable products are designed for easy change of their configurations and parameters during the operation stage to satisfy the new functional requirements. In the past, significant progress has been achieved in our research on modeling, evaluation, and optimization for adaptable product design. Prediction of specific product adaptation requirements, however, is a challenging task for the design of adaptable products. The objective of this research is to extend our previous work to the evaluation of general product adaptability when specific product adaptation requirements are not given at the design stage, based on our new adaptable product modeling scheme. In this work, various influencing factors in the new modeling scheme, including adaptable and unadaptable components/sub-assemblies, components/sub-assemblies in modules, and uncertainties of components/sub-assemblies in product adaptation, are considered to improve the existing methods for evaluation of the general product adaptability. The developed new evaluation measure has been employed in the development of a new adaptable product design approach, considering cases without or with specific requirements for product adaptations. Case studies have also been implemented for the design of an adaptable device, considering cases without or with specific product adaptation requirements.

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.
