But how about civil engineering and city planning? How might machine- and deep-learning help us create safer, more sustainable, and resilient built environments? A team of researchers from the NSF NHERI SimCenter, a computational modeling and simulation center for the natural hazards engineering community based at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a suite of tools called BRAILS Building Recognition using AI at Large-Scale that can automatically identify characteristics of buildings in a city and even detect the risks that a city s structures would face in an earthquake, hurricane, or tsunami. ....
