The aviation industry has been increasingly leveraging Machine Learning (ML) techniques to boost operational efficiency, safety, and passenger experience.
Machine Learning encompasses algorithms enabling computers to learn from data, with applications in predictive maintenance and air traffic management.
Deep Learning, a specialized branch of ML, uses neural networks for tasks like image recognition and natural language processing.
Supervised Learning trains models with labeled data for tasks such as fuel consumption prediction based on flight variables.
Unsupervised Learning uncovers patterns from unlabeled data, like segmenting passengers for personalized marketing.
Semi-Supervised Learning combines labeled and unlabeled data, aiding anomaly detection in aircraft systems.
Reinforcement Learning trains agents via interactions, optimizing strategies in scenarios like air traffic control.
Self-Supervised Learning generates labels internally from data, useful for predictive maintenance models with limited labeled data.
ML applications in aviation include predictive maintenance, flight delay prediction, passenger segmentation, anomaly detection, air traffic management, and autonomous inspection systems.
Challenges in ML integration in aviation include data quality, regulatory compliance, and integration with legacy systems.
