OpenEEW
OpenEEW is an initiative to democratize earthquake early warning systems around the world through low-cost sensors, algorithms for detection and categorization, alerting capabilities, and an open source dataset of historical seismic activity. The project leverages the Internet of Things, Node-RED, and containers.
ClusterDuck Protocol
OWL and DuckLinks come together to establish a quick, temporary, and low-bandwidth communications network in the aftermath natural disasters, giving those in need a simple and reliable interface to request assistance from authorities. The project leverages the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence.
DroneAid
DroneAid defines a visual vocabulary those affected by disasters can use to express their needs. Reading the symbols, drones can relay vital information back to organizations that can help, potentially shortening the response time from days to hours. The project employs Visual Recognition and Machine Learning.
Fair Change
Mobile application to capture incidents and provide information to police officers aimed at avoiding escalation, including a map view to enable search and visualization of incident clusters. Fair Change consists of a mobile app for iOS and Android built using React Native, and an API for capturing data from various sources built using Node.js.
TakeTwo
TakeTwo is an app that aims to reduce racial bias in digital content, whether it is overt or subtle, with a focus on text across news articles, headlines, web pages, blogs, and even code. TakeTwo is built using Python, FastAPI and Docker. The API can be run locally with an Adobe CouchDB backend database or IBM Cloudant database.
Truth Loop
Truth Loop is an app that helps communities simply understand the policies, regulations, and legislation that will impact them the most. Based on these insights, citizens can share their approval, concerns, and/or questions with lawmakers. The project leverages Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Node.js, ExpressJS, and Vue.js among other tools.
Open Sentencing
The Open Sentencing solution starter helps expose bias and empowers public defenders to address racial disparities in the judicial system directly. We created a tool with the goal of reducing sentencing for people impacted by bias and racism. The project uses Angular, Java, Python/Flask, Apache CouchDB and various external data sources.
Incident Accuracy Reporting System (IARS)
Incident Accuracy Reporting System (IARS) is a Content Management application that addresses the issue of transparency surrounding police incident reporting by allowing witnesses and/or victims to directly submit evidence (images, videos). The solution is based on Kubernetes, Hyperledger, Jupyter notebooks, and consumes IBM Watson APIs.
Five Fifths Voter
This web app empowers minorities to exercise their right to vote and ensures their voice is heard by determining optimal voting strategies and limiting suppression issues. It’s built on the Carbon Design System implemented in VueJS with ExpressJS and Python backend services that invoke IBM Watson Tone Analyzer and Natural Language Understanding APIs.
Legit-Info
Local legislation can have significant impacts on areas as far-reaching as jobs, the environment, and safety. Legit-Info helps individuals understand the legislation that shapes their lives. This app uses a Python/Django web user interface to collect and analyze information fetched from legislation data sets online.
