Machine Learning, Digital Thread, Optimization - Perspective from Boeing Structures

Presentation by Dr. Vladimir Balabanov, Boeing Technical Fellow as part of Altair's Future.Industry 2024 conference.

Boeing Technical Fellow, Dr. Vladimir Balabanov, presents a collection of thoughts and a reflection on the current state of approaches to machine learning, digital thread, optimization, and related technologies in structures at Boeing Commercial Airplanes. This is a one-person perspective on what is currently being done in practice and thoughts on how to improve the current practice.

After talking to colleagues in various industries and academia, it became clear that Balabanov's perspective and thoughts are not unique. This realization has encouraged him to share his thoughts with an even broader audience and ask for your reflections, suggestions, and advice.
