Neurosymbolic Artificial Intelligence (NSAI) based Algorithm for predicting the Impact Strength of Additive Manufactured Polylactic Acid (PLA) Specimens
share
In this study, we introduce application of Neurosymbolic Artificial Intelligence (NSAI) for predicting the impact strength of additive manufactured polylactic acid (PLA) components, representing the first-ever use of NSAI in the domain of additive manufacturing. The NSAI model amalgamates the advantages of neural networks and symbolic AI, offering a more robust and accurate prediction than traditional machine learning techniques. Experimental data was collected and synthetically augmented to 1000 data points, enhancing the model's precision. The Neurosymbolic model was developed using a neural network architecture comprising input, two hidden layers, and an output layer, followed by a decision tree regressor representing the symbolic component. The model's performance was benchmarked against a Simple Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model by assessing mean squared error (MSE) and R-squared (R2) values for both training and validation datasets. The results reveal that the Neurosymbolic model surpasses the Simple ANN model, attaining lower MSE and higher R2 values for both training and validation sets. This innovative application of the Neurosymbolic approach in estimating the impact strength of additive manufactured PLA components underscores its potential for optimizing the additive manufacturing process. Future research could investigate further refinements to the Neurosymbolic model, extend its application to other materials and additive manufacturing processes, and incorporate real-time monitoring and control for enhanced process optimization.
