The study integrates Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, and a digital twin methodology to process and interpret urban data streams derived from citizen interactions with the city's coordinate-based problem mapping platform. Using an interactive GeoDataFrame within the digital twin methodology, dynamic entities facilitate simulations based on various scenarios, allowing users to visualize, analyze, and predict the response of the urban system at
GovText is a Natural Language Processing (NLP)-based text analytics platform developed by GovTech’s Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Division (DSAID). The platform is designed to help public officers efficiently analyse unstructured textual data. In particular, it offers a web portal tool and a model-hosting platform, which allow: Topic modelling with interactive presentation of results Text summarisation Development, deployment, and hosting of customised AI models Prediction of use…
The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) embarked on a groundbreaking project to create the world's first digital twin of a country. This initiative, known as Virtual Singapore, involved the use of cutting-edge technology to develop a highly detailed 3D representation of the entire island nation. The project used laser-scanning aircraft and vehicles equipped with lasers to capture terrain and surface information, creating a comprehensive digital model of Singapore. The digital twin encompasses…
SignAvatar's long-term vision is to enable real-time sign language generation, opening doors to multiple applications such as TV, Social Media, Video calls, Online courses, and many applications in the public sector. Our first product is TransportSign, a system for auto-generated service information in Sign Language for Airports and Train Stations. By transforming audible announcements and on-screen text into SL, we enable more than 460 Million Deaf individuals around the world to travel freely
The Government of Canada is experimenting writing existing laws and proposed regulations into code. Encoding rules allows us to run legal simulations in the regulatory drafting room, which helps us detect ambiguities, loopholes, and gaps in the rules that often go unnoticed. However, existing tools designed by and for programmers are not intuitive for rule-makers. In response, we set out to develop one – an open-source Rules as Code tool called Blawx.
Monetary damage from voice phishing crime in Korea stands at 3 trillion won(US$2.24 billion) over the last five years, causing massive pain to citizens. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS) developed the first ever voice analysis model that could precisely filter out criminal voices, track down individuals involved in voice phishing crime, and form criminal clusters. This technology sped up voice phishing crime investigations and is in turn leading to reduced damage for citizens.
The innovation was developed because the Costa Rican Social Security Fund seeks to work with strategies that allow the social security system to be sustainable given the limitations of public health and the increase in health spending. This is the development of a machine learning predictive model to determine the propensity to develop Type II Diabetes Mellitus in patients with EDUS. It is innovative as it is the first predictive model based on clinical data records stored in EDUS.
In response to Innovation Saskatchewan's call for public sector challenges through its Innovation Challenge, the Ministry of Environment partnered with Prairie Robotics, a Regina-based AI startup, to tackle waste audits. Their AI-powered solution automates waste audit processes, cutting down time, costs, and resources previously required for manual audits. The technology identifies contaminants in recycling streams and tailors educational materials to individual households, enhancing engagement,…
