Therefore, applying them to the field of aero-engine maintenance is poised to become a future trend.

[0003] However, these AI models typically have a large number of parameters. If they are directly applied to specialized fields such as aircraft engine maintenance, the deployment of these models would require significant computing resources, making them difficult to deploy on edge devices with limited computing power. Moreover, in practical maintenance applications, the response speed and engineering controllability of these models are often insufficient to meet the demands of field use. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Furthermore, according to one aspect of the distillation method of this disclosure, distillation training is used to guide a student model to generate outputs similar to those of a teacher model under the same input; During the distillation training process, the decision-making tendency of the student model is guided by minimizing the difference between the output results of the teacher model and the student model; and, through the preference optimization mechanism, the student model selects the answer that conforms to the field of aero-engine maintenance from multiple candidate results.

[0011] Furthermore, according to one aspect of the distillation method of this disclosure, the instruction response form includes at least one of the following: a fault diagnosis question and answer task, a maintenance decision reasoning task, and a process explanation and specification description task for maintenance procedures.

[0012] Furthermore, according to one aspect of the distillation method of this disclosure, multi-source heterogeneous data is reconstructed in a task-oriented manner to obtain a distillation dataset in the form of an instruction response, including: Task-oriented reconstruction of multi-source heterogeneous data yields task samples in the form of instruction responses.

[0026] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a computer program product according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure more apparent, exemplary embodiments according to this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments of this disclosure. It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0028] As the core power system of aviation equipment, the maintenance and support of aero-engines involves a wealth of professional knowledge, including engine structural principles, operating conditions, typical failure modes, and standardized maintenance procedures. This places high demands on information understanding, analysis, and decision-making capabilities. In recent years, the development of artificial intelligence models has accelerated rapidly, enabling them to perform various natural language processing tasks such as question-and-answer generation, text analysis, and logical reasoning. Therefore, applying them to the field of aero-engine maintenance is poised to become a future trend.

[0029] However, these AI models typically have a large number of parameters. If they are directly applied to specialized fields such as aircraft engine maintenance, the deployment of these models would require significant computing resources, making them difficult to deploy on edge devices with limited computing power. Moreover, in practical maintenance applications, the response speed and engineering controllability of these models are often insufficient to meet the demands of field use.

[0030] Knowledge distillation technology can transfer knowledge and reasoning behaviors from high-capacity teacher models to student models with smaller parameter sizes, providing a feasible approach to solving the aforementioned problems. However, existing distillation methods are mostly designed for general tasks and lack system design specific to the aero-engine maintenance domain. They fail to fully reflect the specialization of engine maintenance knowledge and the complexity of the reasoning process, and there is still room for optimization in areas such as domain task modeling, distillation signal construction, and engineering deployment during the distillation process. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a knowledge distillation method specifically for the aero-engine maintenance domain. This method should fully utilize high-capacity teacher models to effectively transfer domain knowledge and reasoning capabilities to lightweight student models, thereby reducing model deployment costs while ensuring professionalism and reliability, and improving its usability and engineering adaptability in practical aero-engine maintenance applications.

[0031] The above description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a distillation method, apparatus, device, medium, and product for aero-engines according to embodiments of the present disclosure. By transferring domain knowledge and reasoning behavior from a teacher model with strong natural language understanding and complex reasoning capabilities to a student model with a smaller parameter size, efficient injection and lightweight deployment of aero-engine maintenance domain knowledge are achieved without relying on large-scale domain retraining. This effectively solves the problems of large model size, high deployment cost, and insufficient engineering adaptability of existing models in professional fields such as aero-engine maintenance.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a distillation method for aero-engines disclosed in this disclosure will first be described in detail. The execution entity of the distillation method for aero-engines provided in this disclosure is generally a computer device with certain computing capabilities. This computer device may include, for example, a terminal device, a server, or other processing devices. The terminal device may be a user equipment (UE), mobile device, user terminal, terminal, cellular phone, cordless phone, handheld device, computing device, vehicle-mounted device, wearable device, etc. In some possible implementations, the distillation method for aero-engines can be implemented by a processor calling computer-readable instructions stored in memory.

[0033] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a system architecture diagram of a distillation method for aero-engines provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, including a distillation dataset construction module 1, a teacher model inference module 2, a student model distillation module 3, and a model deployment module 4. The following is a detailed description of each module: Distillation Dataset Building Module 1: Used to build a distillation knowledge dataset in the field of aero-engine maintenance.

[0034] By collecting multi-source heterogeneous data in the field of aero-engine maintenance, and combining the business processes and engineering application requirements of aero-engine maintenance, the multi-source heterogeneous data is task-oriented modeled and command-oriented reconstructed to form a distillation dataset suitable for distillation training.

[0035] The field of aero-engine maintenance involves a large amount of complex and diverse professional technical data, including both structured data and a significant amount of unstructured text data. To ensure the effectiveness of distillation training, this embodiment first systematically organizes and task-orientedly models the data in the aero-engine maintenance field. Specifically, this includes the following steps: Step 1.1: Collect and organize multi-source heterogeneous data in the field of aircraft engine maintenance to form raw domain data.

[0036] Among them, multi-source heterogeneous data includes, but is not limited to: aero-engine structural design documents, system principle descriptions, maintenance technical manuals, historical fault case records, typical fault analysis reports, maintenance experience summary documents, flight and ground test operation data description documents, and maintenance and support related technical specifications.

[0037] The aforementioned multi-source heterogeneous data were standardized, version-labeled, and cleaned to form an original domain data set, providing a foundation for subsequent task-oriented reconstruction.

[0038] Step 1.2: Based on the aircraft engine diagnostic and maintenance process, the original domain data set is reconstructed in a task-oriented manner, and the unstructured or semi-structured original domain data is converted into task samples in the form of instruction responses that can be learned by the model.

[0039] Since the original domain data is mostly in text form, it is difficult to directly use it for model distillation training. This embodiment reconstructs the original data into task-oriented data based on the actual business process of aero-engine maintenance. Specifically, the original domain data is transformed into task samples in the form of command responses, for example: Troubleshooting Q&A Task: What could be the cause of an unusual noise when starting the engine? Maintenance decision-making reasoning task: For a certain fault, which maintenance plan should be prioritized? The task is to explain and standardize the maintenance procedures, such as the standardized procedures for replacing turbine blades. Step 1.3: Preprocess the task samples, including quality screening, noise reduction and data augmentation, to build a high-quality distillation dataset for knowledge distillation.

[0040] Specifically, quality control is performed on the task samples after task-oriented reconstruction, including removing data samples that are semantically incomplete, logically conflicting, or unrelated to aircraft engine maintenance; and merging duplicate task samples.

[0041] Meanwhile, the task samples are enhanced by methods such as synonymous question expansion, task condition variation, and question formulation reorganization to improve the diversity and coverage of the distillation dataset, and finally construct a high-quality distillation dataset for the field of aero-engine maintenance.

[0042] Teacher Model Inference Module 2: Used to infer the distillation dataset based on the teacher model and construct distillation supervision signals corresponding to the field of aero-engine maintenance.

[0043] By calling a teacher model with strong domain understanding and reasoning capabilities, reasoning is performed on task samples in the distillation dataset to obtain distillation supervision signals that reflect the teacher model's knowledge representation and decision-making behavior in the field of aero-engine maintenance.

[0044] Specifically, the following steps are included: Step 2.1: Selection and application of the teacher model.

[0045] A model with strong natural language understanding and complex reasoning capabilities was selected as the teacher model. The teacher model can generate professional and structured analysis results for problems in the field of aero-engine maintenance.

[0046] Step 2.2: Generate distillation monitoring signals based on black-box distillation technology or white-box distillation technology.

[0047] In the black-box distillation scenario, only the output text of the teacher model for the task samples in the distillation dataset is obtained, i.e., the inference results, which are used to characterize the knowledge representation of the teacher model on the aircraft engine maintenance problem. In the white-box distillation scenario, not only can the input text and output text of the teacher model be obtained, but also the reasoning process and internal reasoning information of the teacher model can be obtained, including the probability distribution information, candidate result ranking information, or intermediate reasoning state of the teacher model during the generation process.

[0048] Step 2.3: Construct multiple types of distillation supervision signals.

[0049] Based on the output of the teacher model, construct at least one of the following distillation supervision signals: Standardized natural language response text (i.e., reasoning results) for aircraft engine maintenance issues; chain-thinking reasoning text (i.e., reasoning process) containing fault analysis, causal inference, and maintenance decisions; candidate result ranking information or preference labeling information for multiple candidate results for the same question; the above distillation supervision signals can be used individually or in combination.

[0050] Student Model Distillation Module 3: Used to perform knowledge distillation training on student models with a smaller parameter size than the teacher model based on distillation supervision signals.

[0051] During the distillation training process, given the same aircraft engine maintenance instructions, the student model is guided to learn the output behavior, reasoning path and decision-making tendency of the teacher model, thereby approximating the performance of the teacher model in aircraft engine maintenance tasks with a limited number of parameters.

[0052] Specifically, it includes the following steps: Step 3.1: Initialize the student model.

[0053] The model with a smaller parameter size than the teacher model is selected as the student model. The student model is suitable for scenarios with limited computing power or for deployment on the edge.

[0054] Step 3.2: Perform distillation training based on distillation supervision signals.

[0055] Distillation supervision signals generated by the teacher model are used to train the student model, enabling the student model to generate specialized outputs similar to those of the teacher model.

[0056] Step 3.3: Joint distillation based on distribution matching and preference optimization.

[0057] By minimizing the difference between the output distributions of the teacher model and the student model, the student model is guided to learn the decision-making tendency of the teacher model. Furthermore, the student model's response quality in complex aero-engine maintenance scenarios is improved through a preference optimization mechanism, making the student model more inclined to select responses that conform to aero-engine maintenance specifications and engineering experience among multiple candidate results.

[0058] Step 3.4: Evaluation and iterative optimization of distillation results.

[0059] The performance of the distilled student model in an aero-engine maintenance task was evaluated, including answer accuracy and reasoning consistency, and the distillation process was iteratively optimized based on the evaluation results.

[0060] Model Deployment Module 4: Used to deploy student models that have completed distillation training in aero-engine maintenance application scenarios.

[0061] The distilled student model is deployed to business systems related to aero-engine maintenance to support practical applications such as engine maintenance Q&A, fault diagnosis assistance, or maintenance decision support.

[0062] Specifically, the following steps are included: Step 4.1: Model Deployment.

[0063] The distilled student model will be deployed on a domestically produced computing platform or a general-purpose GPU platform to meet the requirements of intranet isolation and autonomous control in the context of aero-engine maintenance.

[0064] Step 4.2: Application system integration.

[0065] By integrating student models with the aero-engine maintenance business system, vertical applications such as aero-engine maintenance Q&A system, fault diagnosis system, and maintenance decision support system can be built.

[0066] Step 4.3: Support for actual maintenance scenarios.

[0067] In practical applications, based on the natural language descriptions input by maintenance personnel, the student model analyzes and outputs engine fault phenomena, possible causes, and maintenance suggestions, providing intelligent assistance to maintenance personnel.

[0068] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is an overall flow chart of the distillation process, including: S201: Obtain raw domain data in the field of aircraft engine maintenance.

[0069] S202: Construct the distillation dataset.

[0070] S203: Select and call the teacher model.

[0080] In one or more embodiments, the instruction response format includes at least one of the following: a fault diagnosis question-and-answer task, a maintenance decision reasoning task, and a process explanation and specification description task for maintenance procedures. For example: Troubleshooting Q&A Task: What could be the cause of an unusual noise when starting the engine?
