Researchers and end users generally demand more trust and transparency from Machine learning (ML) models due to the complexity of their learned rule spaces. The field of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) seeks to rectify this problem by developing methods of explaining ML models and the attributes used in making inferences. In the area of structural health monitoring of bridges, machine learning can offer insight into the relation between a bridge’s conditions and its environment over time. In this paper, we describe three visualization techniques that explain decision tree (DT) ML models that identify which features of a bridge make it more likely to receive repairs. Each of these visualizations enable interpretation, exploration, and clarification of complex DT models. We outline the development of these visualizations, along with their validity by experts in AI and in bridge design and engineering. This work has inherent benefits in the field of XAI as a direction for future research and as a tool for interactive visual explanation of ML models.

The need for information systems (ISs) to aid emergency management (EM) has been well established. Yet, despite the acknowledged benefits of ISs for EM, the support of ISs in the preparedness phase is weak. Complex EM operations require coordinated efforts across emergency organizations, which are facing enormous challenges related to the method of collaboration to cope with the impact. This paper presents an ongoing project initiated to develop an emergency management collaboration repository for a range of emergency responders, focusing on emergency cross-organizational collaboration, information sharing, exercises, and evaluations. A participatory design approach was applied for the system requirements elicitation and was carried out in two workshops with several EM stakeholders

The proliferation of natural and artificial disasters in the last decades has made urban resilience enforcement a strategic goal of city governments worldwide and a hot research topic for academics and practitioners. Consequently, several urban resilience assessment and improvement frameworks have been proposed. Some frameworks have associated operational tools, but these systems are not interoperable with other frameworks' utilities, forcing cities to use different tools for evaluating various aspects of resilience. Since data must be converted manually from one tool to another, the conversion may be error-prone and tedious. In this paper, we report the steps toward defining an urban resilience metamodel that intends to be at the core of a multi-framework urban resilience management portal. Our goal is to provide city administrators with a single operational tool able to evaluate resilience according to different frameworks, thanks to the definition of semantic interoperability mechanisms between the frameworks and the metamodel.
