Unsupervised learning has become an essential building block of artifical intelligence systems. The representations it produces, for example, in foundation models, are critical to a wide variety of downstream applications. It is therefore important to carefully examine unsupervised models to ensure not only that they produce accurate predictions on the available data but also that these [...]

Fiberscope.net has added a motorized reel cable box option to the STRAHL HD Well Camera, making well and borehole inspections easier and more efficient. This upgrade removes the need for manual winching, allowing operators to raise and lower the camera with less effort. The motorized winch and 200-meter reinforced cable give operators better control over camera [...]
X-ray nondestructive testing technology is widely used for inspecting welds and identifying defects, and is crucial in the manufacturing industry. However, the diversity of welding defects and the imbalanced defect samples reduce defect classification model accuracy and can cause classifier overfitting. This paper proposes an improved DCGAN model for generating welding defect samples by integrating deep [...]
