This study proposes a method for the temporal and spatial determination of the onset of local necking determined by means of a Nakajima test set-up for a DC04 deep drawing and a DP800 dual-phase steel, as well as an AA6014 aluminum alloy. Furthermore, the focus lies on the observation of the progress of the necking area and its transformation throughout the remainder of the forming process. The strain behavior is learned by a machine learning approach on the basis of the images when the process is close to material failure. These learned failure characteristics are transferred to new forming sequences, so that critical areas indicating material failure can be identified at an early stage, and consequently enable the determination of the beginning of necking and the analysis of the necking area. This improves understanding of the necking behavior and facilitates the determination of the evaluation area for strain paths. The growth behavior and traceability of the necking area is objectified by the proposed weakly supervised machine learning approach, thereby rendering a heuristic-based determination unnecessary. Furthermore, a simultaneous evaluation on image and pixel scale is provided that enables a distinct selection of the failure quantile of the probabilistic forming limit curve.

Inspired by natural language processing techniques we here introduce Mol2vec which is an unsupervised machine learning approach to learn vector representations of molecular substructures. Similarly, to the Word2vec models where vectors of closely related words are in close proximity in the vector space, Mol2vec learns vector representations of molecular substructures that are pointing in similar directions for chemically related substructures. Compounds can finally be encoded as vectors by summing up vectors of the individual substructures and, for instance, feed into supervised machine learning approaches to predict compound properties. The underlying substructure vector embeddings are obtained by training an unsupervised machine learning approach on a so-called corpus of compounds that consists of all available chemical matter. The resulting Mol2vec model is pre-trained once, yields dense vector representations and overcomes drawbacks of common compound feature representations such as sparseness and bit collisions. The prediction capabilities are demonstrated on several compound property and bioactivity data sets and compared with results obtained for Morgan fingerprints as reference compound representation. Mol2vec can be easily combined with ProtVec, which employs the same Word2vec concept on protein sequences, resulting in a proteochemometric approach that is alignment independent and can be thus also easily used for proteins with low sequence similarities.
