Why Aviation Needs Explainable AI More Than Ever

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly important part of modern aviation. From predicting traffic congestion and optimizing flight operations to evaluating regulatory compliance and supporting complex airspace decisions, AI offers opportunities to improve safety, efficiency, and operational performance.  However, as aviation organizations adopt increasingly sophisticated AI tools, an important Read more

The Hidden Challenge of Modernizing Air Traffic: Data Quality

Modernizing the National Airspace System is often discussed in terms of new technologies: cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, digital twins, and increasingly sophisticated decision-support tools.  However, beneath nearly every one of those capabilities is a less visible requirement: high-quality data.  Modern air traffic management depends on information arriving Read more

AI Isn’t Replacing Air Traffic Controllers; It’s Giving Them Better Decisions 

Artificial intelligence in aviation tends to attract two competing narratives. In one, AI solves congestion, delays, staffing challenges, and nearly every other operational problem. In the other, it is an unproven technology that threatens to remove experienced professionals from safety-critical decisions. Neither version accurately describes where AI is headed today in air traffic control.

Similarity Learning for Image Geolocation

We decided to approach this problem as a similarity learning modeling effort. We used convolutional neural networks to train a model that takes an image or video as input and outputs a vector representation of the input, such that similar inputs will be close to each other in the vector space. The vector learning is driven by a triplet loss function.
