| Tutorial 1: "General Introduction of APC" |
| Outline |
| |
The Tutorial discusses advanced process control approaches to gain higher manufacturing flexibility on a factory-wide level, driven by the need to increased product mix, cost-pressure and technology complexity.
Different disciplines are integrated to a comprehensive picture. Learn about data collection, the integration of process control data and quality control data, integration between model tuning and model adoption, abstraction of the manufacturing process, prediction techniques and much more. |

| Tutorial 2: "Insight into a Factory-Wide Process Control System" |
| Outline |
| |
Summary: The tutorial discusses advanced process control approaches to gain higher manufacturing flexibility on a factory-wide level, driven by the need for increased product mix, cost-pressure and technology complexity, based on R&D experiences in cooperation with semiconductor manufacturers.
The tutorial leads in a picture of collected data, the condensation, correlation and classification of data, the definition of automated decision making rules and prediction techniques as a comprehensive concept for a living corporate knowledge repository in a factory-wide software-infrastructure.
The tutorial integrates multiple disciplines and techniques to a overall picture of continuous improvement and execution of APC scenarios on the single process-level and the factory-level as well. The contents in detail are dynamic data collection, the mapping to a logical process view, data-mining techniques, the integration of process control data and quality control data and the integration between model-tuning and model-adoption during volume production. |

| Tutorial 3: "Machine Learning and Data Mining for Industrial Applications – from Theory to Practice" |
| Outline |
| |
The performance of a machine learning model is improved by updating (learning) the model parameters through experience and use of the data. This improvement can be manifested, for example, in higher accuracy, lower computational complexity or reduced use of resources. Machine learning models find application in data mining, decision making and the detection, classification, prediction, compression and representation of data. Moreover, machine learning allows natural incorporation of application knowledge into a data-driven model in order to select a better model or improve the estimation of its data-driven parameters. Machine learning and data mining models have proved their accuracy, stability and reliability in an ever-increasing variety of industrial applications.
The proposed "Machine Learning and Data Mining for Industrial Applications – from Theory to Practice" short course is offered to engineers and researchers in the semiconductor industry. The purpose of the course is to advance the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for accelerating the development and use of more intelligent and more efficient tools in automatic equipment and process control. The course is designed to bridge the gap between the state-of-the-art knowledge that has been accumulated in the machine learning and data mining communities and the growing need to find more intelligent and efficient solutions to complex industrial problems. This need increases with the technological level of the application, the complexity of the equipment/process, the requirements from the equipment/process, the number of variables/parameters involved and the amount of data available.
In this short self-contained course, we will provide a graduate-level introduction to the field of machine learning. We will present the principles of machine learning and data mining and will focus on successful machine learning methods. We will provide an understanding of the differences between the various methods and their pros and cons, and of the tools needed for selecting the relevant method for a particular problem. Finally, we will demonstrate advanced developments and applications of machine learning methods in the industry. |
