Nuclear Incident Report

Breaches on nuclear facilities, whether malicious or harmless, cover a wide scope of incidents that are difficult to digest for analysts. My solution was to develop a time-based map of incidents, which can be filtered based on incident criteria, and allows the user to find similar events.

Tohme: An AI Project to Help Disabled Travelers

We combined computer vision with a crowdsourced labeling tool built on Google Street View to find intersections with missing curb ramps. Interestingly, Tohme consisted of two workflows, a human labeling pipeline and a CV pipeline with human verification, which are scheduled dynamically based on predicted performance.
