AI predicts construction safety outcomes using NLP and machine learning

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed an AI-based system to predict construction safety outcomes using natural language processing on incident reports. The updated approach utilizes a larger dataset of over 90,000 reports and incorporates new machine learning models like XGBoost and linear SVM, along with model stacking. This method successfully predicts injury severity, type, body part impacted, and incident type, validating the original approach and significantly advancing the field by improving prediction accuracy for injury severity. AI

IMPACT Enhances safety protocols in construction by providing predictive insights into potential incidents and their severity.

    AI-based Prediction of Independent Construction Safety Outcomes from Universal Attributes

    arXiv:1908.05972v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper significantly improves on, and finishes to validate, an approach proposed in previous research in which safety outcomes were predicted from attributes with machine learning. Like in the original study, we use Na…
