  • Publication number: 20240086711
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for validating an autoencoder for a printing system. In one embodiment, a system stores values associated with individual features at a printing system and further stores times indicating when the values were determined at the printing system. The system also operates an autoencoder to perform time-compression upon the values and the times. Validating the autoencoder includes: determining predictive powers of the individual features prior to time-compression via partial F tests, determining predictive powers of the individual features after time-compression via partial F tests, and determining differences between the predictive powers of the individual features before time-compression and the predictive powers of the individual features after time-compression. Depending upon differences in the predictive powers, a report is generated indicating validity or invalidity of the autoencoder.

  • Publication number: 20240017544
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for print quality management. One embodiment is a system for identifying print quality at a printer. The system includes a memory that stores reference data for nozzles of a printer, and a controller. The controller is configured to acquire measurement data after operation of the nozzles, calculate differences between the reference data and the measurement data, apply the differences as an input to an isolation forest, operate the isolation forest to determine isolation values for the nozzles, identify nozzles having more than a threshold amount of deviation from the reference data based on the isolation values, and generate a report flagging the identified nozzles for maintenance.
