Spectral Learning For Crack And Corrosion Risk Prediction
Abstract
This paper proposes a novel geometry aware spectral optimization framework that overcomes the limitations of existing spectral and singular value decomposition (SVD)-based regularization techniques in order to reduce gradient instability and decay through a reflector-based orthogonal parameterization, ensuring temporally coherent spectral evolution during training. Singular value perturbations are applied within a consistent spectral frame, and optimization is carried out directly in the factorized domain, enabling structure preserving and error driven learning. The proposed framework is applied to long short-term memory (LSTM) architectures for automated crack and corrosion risk forecasting. Empirical evaluations show improved predictive accuracy in long horizon sequence modeling, demonstrating the advantages of geometry consistent spectral learning for complex spatiotemporal inference tasks.
