The Geothermal Exploration Artificial Intelligence looks to use machine learning to spot geothermal identifiers from land maps. This is done to remotely detect geothermal sites for the purpose of energy uses. Such uses include enhanced geothermal system (EGS) applications, especially regarding finding locations for viable EGS sites. This submission includes the appendices and reports formerly attached to the Geothermal Exploration Artificial Intelligence Quarterly and Final Reports. The appendices below include methodologies, results, and some data regarding what was used to train the Geothermal Exploration AI. The methodology reports explain how specific anomaly detection modes were selected for use with the Geo Exploration AI. This also includes how the detection mode is useful for finding geothermal sites. Some methodology reports also include small amounts of code. Results from these reports explain the accuracy of methods used for the selected sites (Brady Desert Peak and Salton Sea). Data from these detection modes can be found in some of the reports, such as the Mineral Markers Maps, but most of the raw data is included the DOE Database which includes Brady, Desert Peak, and Salton Sea Geothermal Sites.

The existing datasets lack the diversity required to train the model so that it performs equally well in real fields under varying environmental conditions. To address this limitation, we propose to collect a small number of in-field data and use the GAN to generate synthetic data for training the deep learning network. To demonstrate the proposed method, a maize dataset 'IIITDMJ_Maize' was collected using a drone camera under different weather conditions, including both sunny and cloudy days. The recorded video was processed to sample image frames that were later resized to 224 x 224. Keeping some raw images intact for evaluation purpose, images were further processed to crop only the portion containing diseases and selecting healthy plant images. With the help of agriculture experts, the raw and cropped images were subsequently categorized into four distinct classes -- (a) common rust, (b) northern leaf blight, (c) gray leaf spot, and (d) healthy. In total, 416 images were collected and labeled. Further, 50 raw (un-cropped) images of each category were also selected for testing the model's performance.

This "dataset" has been created for scientific purposes only to study the potentials of Deep Learning (DL) approaches when used to analyse Video Data in order to detect possible obstacles on rail tracks and thus avoid collisions. The authors DO NOT ASSUME any responsibility for the use that other researchers or users will make of these data.

Objectives of the Study

RAILS defined some pilot case studies to develop Proofs-of-Concept (PoCs), which are conceived as benchmarks, with the aim of providing insight towards the definition of technology roadmaps that could support future research and/or the deployment of AI applications in the rail sector. In this context, the main objectives of the specific PoC "Vision-Based Obstacle Detection on Rail Tracks" were to investigate: i) solutions for the generation of synthetic data, suitable for the training of DL models; and ii) the potential of DL applications when it comes to detecting any kind of obstacles on rail tracks while exploiting video data from a single RGB camera.

A Brief Overview of the Approach

A multi-modular approach has been proposed to achieve the objectives mentioned above. The resulting architecture includes the following modules:

• The Rails Detection Module (RDM) detects rail tracks. The output of the RDM is used by the ODM and ADM.
• The Object Detection Module (ODM) detects obstacles whose type is known in advance.
• The Anomaly Detection Module (ADM) identifies any possible anomaly on rail tracks. These include obstacles whose type is not known in advance.
• The Obstacle Detection Module merges the outputs from the ODM and the ADM.
• The Distance Estimation Module estimates the distance of objects and anomalies from the train.

The research was specifically oriented at implementing the RDM-ADM pipeline. Indeed, the object detection approaches that would be used to implement the ODM have been widely investigated by the research community, instead, to the best of our knowledge, limited work has been done in the rails field in the context of anomaly detection. The RDM has been realised by adopting a Semantic Segmentation approach based on U-Net; while, to develop the ADM, a Vector-Quantized Variational Autoencoder trained in Unsupervised mode was leveraged. Further details can be found in the RAILS "Deliverable D2.3: WP2 Report on experimentation, analysis, and discussion of results".

Steps to implement the RDM-ADM pipeline and description of shared Data

The following list reports all the steps that have been performed to implement the RDM-ADM pipeline; the words in bold-italic refer to the files that are shared within this dataset:

1. A Railway Scenario was generated in MathWorks' RoadRunner.
2. A video (FreeTrackVideo) was recorded by simulating an RGB camera mounted in front of the train; no obstacles on rail tracks were considered in this phase.
3. 2000 frames (FreeTrack2KFrames) were extracted from the aforementioned video. The video contains 4143 frames, however, only 2000 (each other frame starting from the first one) were taken into account due to training time and GPU RAM constraints.
4. Only 10% of the 2000 frames were manually labelled (i.e., 200 frames, a frame every 10 frames) by exploiting LabelMe; these frames were then subdivided into training and validation sets (InitialLabelledSet).
5. Hence, a Semi-Automatic labelling algorithm was developed by leveraging self-training and transfer learning. This algorithm made it possible to label all the FreeTrack2KFrames starting from the InitialLabelledSet. The resulting labels can be found in FreeTrack2KLabels.
6. Data Augmentation was then performed in order to introduce some aleatory in the dataset. Because of the same time and RAM constraints mentioned above, the FreeTrack2KFrames set of data was reduced further: 1600 frames were selected among the aforementioned 2000 and then 5 transformations (Bright, Dark, Rain, Shadow, and Sun Flare) were applied to obtain the dataset (FreeTrack16TrainSet, FreeTrack16ValSet, FreeTrack16TestSet) that was used to train, validate, and test the RDM.
7. Once the RDM was trained, the FreeTrackVideo was processed to obtain the masked frames that were then used to build the dataset(s) to train, validate, and test the ADM. The ADM was studied by considering two different datasets: the Non-Anomaly Dataset (NAD), which basically contains all the frames of the FreeTrackVideo once processed by the RDM; and the Augmented Non-Anomaly Dataset (A-NAD), which contains 9000 frames, 1500 of which were extracted from the NAD, while the remaining 7500 were obtained by applying the same transformations mentioned above.
8. Lastly, when both the RDM and the ADM were trained, the performances of the whole RDM-ADM pipeline were tested on the WithCarVideo which depicts the same scenario as the FreeTrackVideo but it also depicts a car laying on the rail tracks (i.e., an obstacle).

Executive Summary: Artificial intelligence (AI) is a transformative technology that holds promise for tremendous societal and economic benefit. AI has the potential to revolutionize how we live, work, learn, discover, and communicate. AI research can further our national priorities, including increased economic prosperity, improved educational opportunities and quality of life, and enhanced national and homeland security. Because of these potential benefits, the U.S. government has invested in AI research for many years. Yet, as with any significant technology in which the Federal government has interest, there are not only tremendous opportunities but also a number of considerations that must be taken into account in guiding the overall direction of Federally-funded R&D in AI. On May 3, 2016,the Administration announced the formation of a new NSTC Subcommittee on Machine Learning and Artificial intelligence, to help coordinate Federal activity in AI.1 This Subcommittee, on June 15, 2016, directed the Subcommittee on Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) to create a National Artificial Intelligence Research and Development Strategic Plan. A NITRD Task Force on Artificial Intelligence was then formed to define the Federal strategic priorities for AI R&D, with particular attention on areas that industry is unlikely to address. This National Artificial Intelligence R&D Strategic Plan establishes a set of objectives for Federallyfunded AI research, both research occurring within the government as well as Federally-funded research occurring outside of government, such as in academia. The ultimate goal of this research is to produce new AI knowledge and technologies that provide a range of positive benefits to society, while minimizing the negative impacts. To achieve this goal, this AI R&D Strategic Plan identifies the following priorities for Federally-funded AI research: Strategy 1: Make long-term investments in AI research. Prioritize investments in the next generation of AI that will drive discovery and insight and enable the United States to remain a world leader in AI. Strategy 2: Develop effective methods for human-AI collaboration. Rather than replace humans, most AI systems will collaborate with humans to achieve optimal performance. Research is needed to create effective interactions between humans and AI systems. Strategy 3: Understand and address the ethical, legal, and societal implications of AI. We expect AI technologies to behave according to the formal and informal norms to which we hold our fellow humans. Research is needed to understand the ethical, legal, and social implications of AI, and to develop methods for designing AI systems that align with ethical, legal, and societal goals. Strategy 4: Ensure the safety and security of AI systems. Before AI systems are in widespread use, assurance is needed that the systems will operate safely and securely, in a controlled, well-defined, and well-understood manner. Further progress in research is needed to address this challenge of creating AI systems that are reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. Strategy 5: Develop shared public datasets and environments for AI training and testing. The depth, quality, and accuracy of training datasets and resources significantly affect AI performance. Researchers need to develop high quality datasets and environments and enable responsible access to high-quality datasets as well as to testing and training resources. Strategy 6: Measure and evaluate AI technologies through standards and benchmarks. . Essential to advancements in AI are standards, benchmarks, testbeds, and community engagement that guide and evaluate progress in AI. Additional research is needed to develop a broad spectrum of evaluative techniques. Strategy 7: Better understand the national AI R&D workforce needs. Advances in AI will require a strong community of AI researchers. An improved understanding of current and future R&D workforce demands in AI is needed to help ensure that sufficient AI experts are available to address the strategic R&D areas outlined in this plan. The AI R&D Strategic Plan closes with two recommendations: Recommendation 1: Develop an AI R&D implementation framework to identify S&T opportunities and support effective coordination of AI R&D investments, consistent with Strategies 1-6 of this plan. Recommendation 2: Study the national landscape for creating and sustaining a healthy AI R&D workforce, consistent with Strategy 7 of this plan.

This data, generated at NIST, consists of natural language processing (NLP) AIs trained to perform named entity recognition (NER) on English text. A known percentage of these trained AI models have been poisoned with a known trigger which induces incorrect behavior. This data will be used to develop software solutions for detecting which trained AI models have been poisoned via embedded triggers.

Half (50%) of the models have been poisoned with an embedded trigger which causes misclassification of the input when the trigger is present.

With deep learning becoming a more prominent approach for automatic classification of three-dimensional point cloud data, a key bottleneck is the amount of high quality training data, especially when compared to that available for two-dimensional images. One potential solution is the use of synthetic data for pre-training networks, however the ability for models to generalise from synthetic data to real world data has been poorly studied for point clouds. Despite this, a huge wealth of 3D virtual environments exist, which if proved effective can be exploited. We therefore argue that research in this domain would be hugely useful. In this paper we present SynthCity an open dataset to help aid research. SynthCity is a 367.9M point synthetic full colour Mobile Laser Scanning point cloud. Every point is labelled from one of nine categories. We generate our point cloud in a typical Urban/Suburban environment using the Blensor plugin for Blender.
