The third keynote speech by Dr. Bernd Kosch from Fujitsu was very practice-oriented. He reported on how a manufacturer of turbine blades for wind turbines uses neural networks for quality assurance. As the turbine blades are only produced in small numbers, the challenge here was that only a few data sets were available for training. The method of "transfer learning" using a convolutional network nevertheless leads to a high error detection rate and significant time and cost savings of around 80%.
