    Broadening Access to Transportation Safety Data with Generative AI: A Schema-Grounded Framework for Spatial Natural Language Queries

    Researchers have developed a new framework that uses generative AI to make transportation safety data more accessible. This system translates natural language queries into structured operations, ensuring reproducible and schema-grounded results from a PostGIS database. An evaluation using Massachusetts transportation data showed that the validation layer corrected errors in 29% of queries, highlighting the challenge of aligning flexible language with strict data requirements. The approach aims to broaden access to critical safety information for public-sector planning. AI

    500,000 people were locked in state psychiatric hospitals. Their descendants can’t find out why

    Descendants of individuals institutionalized in state psychiatric hospitals are encountering significant barriers when attempting to access historical medical records. These records, which could offer crucial insights into family medical histories and genetic predispositions to mental health conditions, are often sealed due to patient privacy laws like HIPAA, which can extend protections for decades after a person's death. While some states are beginning to reform their policies to allow limited access for descendants, the process remains slow and frustrating in many areas, leaving families with unresolved questions about their ancestors' lives and health.
