Abstract
An inspection system may receive inspection datasets from a defect inspection system associated with inspection of one or more samples, where an inspection dataset of the plurality of inspection datasets associated with a defect includes values of two or more signal attributes and values of one or more context attributes. An inspection system may further label each of the inspection datasets with a class label based on respective positions of each of the inspection datasets in a signal space defined by the two or more signal attributes, where each class label corresponds to a region of the signal space. An inspection system may further segment the inspection datasets into two or more defect groups by training a classifier with the values of the context attributes and corresponding class labels for the inspection datasets, where the two or more defect groups are identified based on the trained classifier.
