Abstract

See full text

Method and apparatus for unsupervised aircraft design. A plurality of design problem data and service event data for an aircraft is received from an electronic data repository. Embodiments communicate with sensors on the aircraft during flight operations and capturing service data and sensor data. A high order vector is generated for each received problem report and service event data and each high order vector is concatenated into a high order vector matrix. Embodiments generate a reduced order symptom-normalized matrix by factorization of the concatenated high order vector matrix and generate a similarity matrix from the symptom-normalized matrix. An impact score is computed for each in-service event data as a function of similar problem reports using the similarity matrix. Embodiments generate a priority matrix configured to identify service event data having high impact scores and communicate a real-time alert of the high impact scored service event.
