City-Scale Road Audit System using Deep Learning
Road networks in cities are massive and is a critical component of mobility. Fast response to defects, that can occur not only due to regular wear and tear but also because of extreme events like storms, is essential. Hence there is a need for an automated system that is quick, scalable and cost-effective for gathering information about defects. We propose a system for city-scale road audit, using some of the most recent developments in deep learning and semantic segmentation. For building and benchmarking the system, we curated a dataset which has annotations required for road defects. However, many of the labels required for road audit have high ambiguity which we overcome by proposing a label hierarchy. We also propose a multi-step deep learning model that segments the road, subdivide the road further into defects, tags the frame for each defect and finally localizes the defects on a map gathered using GPS. We analyze and evaluate the models on image tagging as well as segmentation at different levels of the label hierarchy.

EG-ARSA: An Expert-Grounded Open Model for Visual Road Safety Auditing in Low-Resource Settings
Road traffic injuries remain a major challenge in low- and middle-income countries, where proactive road safety auditing is limited by incomplete crash records, shortages of qualified auditors, and the high cost of large…
Can AI be Auditable?
Auditability is defined as the capacity of AI systems to be independently assessed for compliance with ethical, legal, and technical standards throughout their lifecycle. The chapter explores how auditability is being fo…
From Scarcity to Scale: A Release-Level Analysis of the Pashto Common Voice Dataset
Large, openly licensed speech datasets are essential for building automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, yet many widely spoken languages remain underrepresented in public resources. Pashto, spoken by more than 60 m…
