A system for manufacturing defect classification is presented. The system includes a first neural network receiving a first data as input and generating a first output, a second neural network receiving a second data as input and generating a second output, wherein first neural network and the second neural network are trained independently from each other, and a fusion neural network receiving the first output and the second output and generating a classification. The first data and the second data do not have to be aligned. Hence, the system and method of this disclosure allows various type of data that are collected during manufacturing to be used in defect classification.

Image-based defects identification and semi-supervised localization

A method and a system are presented for controlling a performance of a fusion model. The method includes obtaining a first set and a second set of candidate models for a first and second neural networks, respectively. Each of the first and second set of candidate models is pre-trained with a first source and a second source, respectively. For each possible pairing of one candidate model from the first neural network and one candidate model from the second neural network, a model distance Dis determined. A subset of possible pairings of one first candidate model and one second candidate model is selected based on the model distance Dbetween them. Using the subset of possible parings, the first neural network and the second neural network are combined to generate two branches for a fusion model neural network.
