𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗩 𝗡𝗩𝗛 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗜𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗗𝗔 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗖 𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝗦𝗡𝗩𝗛 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 🚗 At the latest ISNVH conference in Austria, IDIADA and HMETC jointly presented a paper on the development of a multi-body model of an electric vehicle for NVH studies. While the usage of multi-body is a keystone for vehicle ride and dynamics simulations, its employment in NVH is usually limited due to the complexity of integrating flexible elements in the MB model through modal-neutral files. The joint research project delved into such complexity, establishing robust procedures to define MNFs and harmonize them with the MB equations; it also helped, thanks to extensive component-level test data provided by HMETC and HMC, to find a good compromise between component-level accuracy and computational efficiency. The multi-disciplinary project took advantage of IDIADA’s expertise in various NVH-related fields, starting with testing and data analysis (Beatriz Bragado), finite element method analysis Ángel Sánchez Venegas and Multi-Body simulation Andrea Patrucco. Through an extensive testing campaign performed at IDIADA proving ground (simulated with its digital twin, IDIADA Virtual Proving Ground), it was possible to test the correlation of the resulting model, which, especially in deterministic comfort events, demonstrated the advantages of completing the high-frequency information of FE analysis with multi-body’s ability to represent large, non-linear motion. IDIADA wants to thank Riccardo Tonelli and Sebastian Buckert, Senior Engineer and Manager in NVH at HMETC, for their active support in the development of the model and for their continuous support throughout all project phases.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗗𝗟 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗿: 𝗔 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴! We are excited to share our latest research on the Pairwise Difference Learning (PDL) classifier, now published! This innovative approach enhances classification tasks by using pairwise comparisons for more accurate predictions. 🔍 W𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗗𝗟 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗿? Pairwise difference learning (PDL) has recently been introduced as a new meta-learning technique for regression. Instead of learning a mapping from instances to outcomes in the standard way, the key idea is to learn a function that takes two instances as input and predicts the difference between the respective outcomes. Given a function of this kind, predictions for a query instance are derived from every training example and then averaged.  This paper extends PDL toward the task of classification and proposes a meta-learning technique for inducing a PDL classifier by solving a suitably defined (binary) classification problem on a paired version of the original training data. We analyze the performance of the PDL classifier in a large-scale empirical study and find that it outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of prediction performance. Last but not least, we provide an easy-to-use and publicly available implementation of PDL in a Python package. The PDL Classifier transforms traditional training data into pairs of instances, predicting class equality with greater precision. It significantly improves macro F1 scores and reduces overfitting, providing more reliable outcomes. 👁️🗨️ Check out Figure 4 in our paper for a visual insight into the PDL classifier's performance.
