The learning curve of laparoscopic liver resection utilising a difficulty score
Arpad Ivanecz, Irena Plahuta, Matej Mencinger, Iztok Peruš, Tomislav Magdalenić, Špela Turk, Stojan Potrč, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: Background: This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the learning curve of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) of a single surgeon. Patients and methods: A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of liver resections was conducted. 171 patients undergoing pure LLRs between April 2008 and April 2021 were analysed. The Halls difficulty score (HDS) for theoretical predictions of intraoperative complications (IOC) during LLR was applied. IOC was defined as blood loss over 775 mL, unintentional damage to the surrounding structures, and conversion to an open approach. Theoretical association between HDS and the predicted probability of IOC was utilised to objectify the shape of the learning curve. Results: The obtained learning curve has resulted from thirteen years of surgical effort of a single surgeon. It consists of an absolute and a relative part in the mathematical description of the additive function described by the logarithmic function (absolute complexity) and fifth-degree regression curve (relative complexity). The obtained learning curve determines the functional dependency of the learning outcome versus time and indicates several local extreme values (peaks and valleys) in the learning process until proficiency is achieved. Conclusions: This learning curve indicates an ongoing learning process for LLR. The proposed mathematical model can be applied for any surgical procedure with an existing difficulty score and a known theoretically predicted association between the difficulty score and given outcome (for example, IOC).

Advancing sustainable mobility: artificial intelligence approaches for autonomous vehicle trajectories in roundabouts
Salvatore Leonardi, Natalia Distefano, Chiara Gruden, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: This study develops and evaluates advanced predictive models for the trajectory planning of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in roundabouts, with the aim of significantly contributing to sustainable urban mobility. Starting from the “MRoundabout” speed model, several Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques, including Linear Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Gradient Boosting Regression (GBR), and Neural Networks (NNs), were applied to accurately emulate human driving behavior and optimize AV trajectories. The results indicate that neural networks achieved the best predictive performance, with R2 values of up to 0.88 for speed prediction, 0.98 for acceleration, and 0.94 for differential distance, significantly outperforming traditional models. GBR and SVR provided moderate improvements over LR but encountered difficulties predicting acceleration and distance variables. AI-driven tools, such as ChatGPT-4, facilitated data pre-processing, model tuning, and interpretation, reducing computational time and enhancing workflow efficiency. A key contribution of this research lies in demonstrating the potential of AI-based trajectory planning to enhance AV navigation, fostering smoother, safer, and more sustainable mobility. The proposed approaches contribute to reduced energy consumption, lower emissions, and decreased traffic congestion, effectively addressing challenges related to urban sustainability. Future research will incorporate real traffic interactions to further refine the adaptability and robustness of the model.

Using a region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) for potato segmentation in a sorting process
Jaka Verk, Jernej Hernavs, Simon Klančnik, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: This study focuses on the segmentation part in the development of a potato-sorting system that utilizes camera input for the segmentation and classification of potatoes. The key challenge addressed is the need for efficient segmentation to allow the sorter to handle a higher volume of potatoes simultaneously. To achieve this, the study employs a region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) approach for the segmentation task, while trying to achieve more precise segmentation than with classic CNN-based object detectors. Specifically, Mask R-CNN is implemented and evaluated based on its performance with different parameters in order to achieve the best segmentation results. The implementation and methodologies used are thoroughly detailed in this work. The findings reveal that Mask R-CNN models can be utilized in the production process of potato sorting and can improve the process.

Cephalometric landmark detection in lateral skull X-ray images by using improved spatialconfiguration-net
Martin Šavc, Gašper Sedej, Božidar Potočnik, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: Accurate automated localization of cephalometric landmarks in skull X-ray images is the basis for planning orthodontic treatments, predicting skull growth, or diagnosing face discrepancies. Such diagnoses require as many landmarks as possible to be detected on cephalograms. Today’s best methods are adapted to detect just 19 landmarks accurately in images varying not too much. This paper describes the development of the SCN-EXT convolutional neural network (CNN), which is designed to localize 72 landmarks in strongly varying images. The proposed method is based on the SpatialConfiguration-Net network, which is upgraded by adding replications of the simpler local appearance and spatial configuration components. The CNN capacity can be increased without increasing the number of free parameters simultaneously by such modification of an architecture. The successfulness of our approach was confirmed experimentally on two datasets. The SCN-EXT method was, with respect to its effectiveness, around 4% behind the state-of-the-art on the small ISBI database with 250 testing images and 19 cephalometric landmarks. On the other hand, our method surpassed the state-of-the-art on the demanding AUDAX database with 4695 highly variable testing images and 72 landmarks statistically significantly by around 3%. Increasing the CNN capacity as proposed is especially important for a small learning set and limited computer resources. Our algorithm is already utilized in orthodontic clinical practice.

Predictive modelling of weld bead geometry in wire arc additive manufacturing
Kristijan Šket, Miran Brezočnik, Timi Karner, Rok Belšak, Mirko Ficko, Tomaž Vuherer, Janez Gotlih, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: This study investigates the predictive modelling of weld bead geometry in wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) through advanced machine learning methods. While WAAM is valued for its ability to produce large, complex metal parts with high deposition rates, precise control of the weld bead remains a critical challenge due to its influence on mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy. To address this problem, this study utilized machine learning approaches—Ridge regression, Lasso regression and Bayesian ridge regression, Random Forest and XGBoost—to predict the key weld bead characteristics, namely height, width and cross-sectional area. A Design of experiments (DOE) was used to systematically vary the welding current and travelling speed, with 3D weld bead geometries captured by laser scanning. Robust data pre-processing, including outlier detection and feature engineering, improved modelling accuracy. Among the models tested, XGBoost provided the highest prediction accuracy, emphasizing its potential for real-time control of WAAM processes. Overall, this study presents a comprehensive framework for predictive modelling and provides valuable insights for process optimization and the further development of intelligent manufacturing systems.

Application of machine learning to reduce casting defects from bentonite sand mixture
Žiga Breznikar, Marko Bojinović, Miran Brezočnik, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: One of the largest Slovenian foundries (referred to as Company X) primarily focuses on casting moulds for the glass industry. In collaboration with Pro Labor d.o.o., Company X has been systematically gathering defect data since 2021. The analysis revealed that the majority of scrap caused by technological issues is attributed to sand defects. The initial dataset included information on defect occurrences, technological parameters of sand mixture and chemical properties of the cast material. This raw data was refined using data science techniques and statistical methods to support classification. Multiple binary classification models were developed, using sand mixture parameters as inputs, to distinguish between good casting and scrap, with the k-nearest neighbours algorithm. Their performances were evaluated using various classification metrics. Additionally, recommendations were made for development of a real-time industrial application to optimize and regulate pouring temperature in the foundry process. This is based on simulating different pouring temperatures while keeping the other parameters fixed, selecting the temperature that maximizes the likelihood of successful casting

Enhancing manufacturing precision: Leveraging motor currents data of computer numerical control machines for geometrical accuracy prediction through machine learning
Lucijano Berus, Jernej Hernavs, David Potočnik, Kristijan Šket, Mirko Ficko, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: Direct verification of the geometric accuracy of machined parts cannot be performed simultaneously with active machining operations, as it usually requires subsequent inspection with measuring devices such as coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) or optical 3D scanners. This sequential approach increases production time and costs. In this study, we propose a novel indirect measurement method that utilizes motor current data from the controller of a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine in combination with machine learning algorithms to predict the geometric accuracy of machined parts in real-time. Different machine learning algorithms, such as Random Forest (RF), k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), and Decision Trees (DT), were used for predictive modeling. Feature extraction was performed using Tsfresh and ROCKET, which allowed us to capture the patterns in the motor current data corresponding to the geometric features of the machined parts. Our predictive models were trained and validated on a dataset that included motor current readings and corresponding geometric measurements of a mounting rail later used in an engine block. The results showed that the proposed approach enabled the prediction of three geometric features of the mounting rail with an accuracy (MAPE) below 0.61% during the learning phase and 0.64% during the testing phase. These results suggest that our method could reduce the need for post-machining inspections and measurements, thereby reducing production time and costs while maintaining required quality standards

Study of environmental impacts on overhead transmission lines using genetic algorithms
Kristijan Šket, Mirko Ficko, Nenad Gubeljak, Miran Brezočnik, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek

Opis: In our study, we explored the complexities of overhead transmission line (OTL) engineering, specifically focusing on their responses to varying atmospheric conditions (ambient temperature, ambient humidity, solar irradiance, ambient pressure, wind speed, wind direction), and electric current usage. Our goal was to comprehend how these independent variables impact critical responses (dependent variables) such as conductor temperature, conductor sag, tower leg stress, and vibrations – parameters crucial for electric distribution. We modelled the target output variable as a polynomial of a certain degree of the input variables. The precise forms of the polynomial were determined using the genetic algorithms (GA). Developed models are essential for quantifying the influence of each input parameter, enriching our understanding of essential system elements. They provide long-term predictions for assessing transmission line lifespan and structural stability, with particularly high precision in forecasting temperature and sag angle. It is important to note that certain engineering parameters, such as material properties and load considerations, were not included in our research, potentially influencing accuracy.
