Leakage-Safe Machine Learning for Hydrogen Embrittlement Detection in 316L Stainless Steel: A Region-Held-Out Evaluation of Texture and Deep Features in SEM Micrographs

The study introduces a leakage‑safe evaluation protocol for detecting hydrogen embrittlement in 316L stainless steel using SEM micrographs. By employing a Leave‑One‑Region‑Out cross‑validation over 14 spatial regions, the authors compare six feature‑classifier combinations, finding that a simple local binary pattern (LBP) with a support vector machine (SVM) achieves the best performance (balanced accuracy 0.79, H2 recall 0.69, H2 precision 0.82). The results are statistically significant (p = 0.008) and suggest that texture descriptors can reliably recover hydrogen‑charging signatures even with limited data.

Enhancing EBSD throughput of battery electrode materials using super-resolution generative adversarial networks

The paper presents a super‑resolution generative adversarial network (SRGAN) that boosts the throughput of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) for Li‑ion battery electrode materials. By training on LiNixMnyCozO2 cathode data, the SRGAN outperforms classical interpolation across upscaling factors of 2× to 12×, especially preserving small grains and realistic boundaries. A 5× upscaling yields a 25× speed‑up or larger field of view with acceptable accuracy, reducing grain‑size errors to within ±15%.

Lowering the Barrier to AI-Driven Inspection: A No-Code Workflow for Automated Structural Defect Detection

The paper introduces YOLOEZ, a no-code, GUI-based tool that streamlines the entire YOLO model workflow—data labeling, training, and inference—for automated structural defect detection. It demonstrates that YOLOEZ outperforms traditional image‑processing methods across most detection metrics while simplifying deployment for users without programming expertise. The tool aims to lower technical barriers in structural health monitoring, enabling broader adoption of AI-driven inspection for predictive maintenance and intelligent structural systems.
