Not only can any user add data of their choice to any location on the globe but also the geometry and semantics underlay no authoritative constraints. This results in a rich and diverse dataset.\r\nIn this analyses we inquire into one aspect of the datasets diversity looking at users editing behaviour. A new methodology to investigate the tendency of users to make edits that are rare or uncommon is proposed and a thorough data analyses is conducted. Analysing the detailed mapping practices of users in OSM can be a difficult task due to the data volume and the complexity. Using the OSHDB provided by HeiGIT we estimate the rarity of a certain map action by analysing how often said action is performed.\r\nThe analyses is twofold looking at tag changes on the one hand and edits to map features types on the other hand. Rare tag edits are actions that add or delete tags that rarely occur in OSM such as unique place names or uncommon opening hours. Rare map feature type edits are actions that e.g. change the geometry of relatively rare map objects such as hospitals or cowsheds - rareness is here defined based on the general abundance of the primary tag such as `highway` or `building`. Users are then evaluated based on their tendency to contribute these rare edits to the database. We call these edits unicorn edits as they are rare but make the map a more colourful place.\r\nOur analysis shows that contrary to our assumption there is a large number of tags and map feature types that have only few contributions. As a result, a large share of OSM users in the analysed regions exhibits a rather high tendency to map rare elements.\r\nAn index is introduced, the so called unicorn index, that allows users to compare their tendency to make rare edits to other users in the same region. The presented analyses is limited to Heidelberg and \u0141\u00f3d\u017a but an interactive website is made available where users can compute their personal unicorn index for Germany and Poland as well.", "description": "In this talk we describe a thorough data analysis that looks into the rare and sparkling elements of OSM.\r\nRare information such as local or topic specific tags are one of the pillars of success of our project that keep users interested and make the map colourful. We analyse how often different map edits are made to the database and find out if rare edits are linked to specific users or if the work to colour the map is equally distributed. In addition a [website](https://ideal-vgi.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/unicorn/) is launched that enables users in Germany and Poland to compare their personal tendency to map rare object in relation to the local community.

These are all sensible use cases \u2013 but a holistic approach is rarely pursued.\r\n\r\nYet from a municipal perspective, map-based participation, this should matter: Because if a map offers added value from the citizen's point of view, it becomes a lively place - where people come together with their thoughts, their data and their potential for participation. Administrations (and municipal companies) can make use of this: for contact with the population, for recording needs and ideas, for planning, for the joint development of new services and even operating models or for impact measurement. \r\n\r\nWith these map-based projects, a well-known smart city problem is becoming apparent: several similar projects are being developed in parallel, which are implemented in different technical ways.

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) sees that mappers can, on average, map between 1000-1500 buildings per working day without AI assistance. During an AI-assisted mapping pilot (2019-2020) supported by Microsoft, 18 million building footprints were extracted from satellite imagery for all of Tanzania and Uganda. HOT discovered during this pilot that this average mapping nearly doubled to 2500-3000 buildings being added to OpenStreetMap (OSM) per day with the assistance of high-quality AI open-source datasets.\r\n\r\nfAIr seeks to solve three foreseen problems:\r\n\r\n1. AI models openness: AI-assisted mapping for humanitarian purposes feels like a black box. Useful open-source results coming from AI exists (e.g. META's global roads dataset available in RapiD, Microsoft\u2019s global buildings dataset and Google\u2019s open building in Africa). However, the models (code/training data) are currently not open-source.\r\n2. Model bias: Having model biases means predicting over satellite imagery would be biased toward the training dataset used to teach the AI model and the nature and quality of imagery is very different across the globe.\r\n3. Lack of feedback: There is no enhancement applied easily on the intelligence and accuracy of the AI models and humans are out of the loop when building the AI models, this due to AI models being either closed source or were built once and made available to end users so enhancements would require repeating the process from scratch.\r\n\r\nWhat is behind fAIr?\r\n\r\nThe deep learning model behind fAIr is based on RAMP (Replicable AI for MicroPlanning), whose architecture and approach originates from [an Eff-UNet model](https://rampml.global/ramp-model-card/).\r\n\r\nThe research presented in this talk, falls within the broader spectrum of research on understanding the fine tuning process for geographic domain adaptation in image analysis validation, in particular for building footprints detection.\r\n\r\nThe talk will describe the procedure put in place to perform a reproducible analysis of the performance of the ML model training, from the training datasets selection process, the more technical details of the backbone model underneath, the choice of the metrics used to measure accuracy, and finally the analysis of the results obtained testing for different metrics.", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"guid": "752d54f1-c89f-578c-89b3-ac34398151c6", "id": 27, "code": "P88BXW", "public_name": "Anna Zanchetta", "avatar": "https://cfp.openstreetmap.org.pl/media/avatars/IMG_3296_bug_vSS30jI.JPG", "biography": "Anna has a background in Physics of the Atmosphere and Remote sensing, with applications to environmental studies (water management and desertification), spatial inequalities and sustainable transport.

In conclusion, the paper proposes that the Mini-Mapathon course could be implemented in other schools with a larger sample size to investigate learning outcomes.", "description": "I designed and developed the Mini-Mapathon curriculum to answer three key research questions below.\t\r\n\t\t\t\t                                          \r\n1.\tHow did the design support changes in students\u2019 perceptions of their crisis mapping knowledge and skills? \r\n2.\tHow did participating in the Mini-Mapathon support student expressed interest in crisis mapping in the future?\r\n3.\tHow did the Mini-Mapathon support students in engaging crisis mapping? \t\r\n\t\t\r\nI designed and delivered the Mini-Mapathon, via three 45-minute Human Geography courses to 28 junior Asian high school students at an international school in Beijing, China.  The English Language Learners (ELL) student population were all Chinese and their ages ranged from 16-18, consisting of 15 male students and 13 female students.  Prior to implementing the research project with 28 Human Geography students, I researched the best way to teach crisis mapping to ELL students by participating in Mapathons and Mapalongs.  I piloted three crisis mapping Mini-Mapathons for 55 Asian 4th grade students in three classrooms after learning crisis mapping was done effectively with 10 year old students in Milan, Italy (Gaspari, et al., 2021). The pilot programs with 4th grade Asian students and subsequent project were implemented only after the 4th grade students learned about crises in their IB-PYP curriculum, and after I conducted an extensive literature review of this relatively new (2005), interdisciplinary and innovative field of crisis mapping, investigated many mapping software platforms, and spoke to representatives from www.ushahidi.org, www.hotosm.org , and www.missingmaps.com.   \r\nA website was built (www.crisismapping.weebly.com) to turn the Mini-Mapathon experience into an exportable educational activity that could be replicated or delivered in formal and informal learning environments. \r\nUsing the ADDIE approach, I sought to design, implement, and evaluate a Mini-Mapathon curriculum to answer my three research questions.  I implemented my applied research project on teaching crisis mapping through a Mini-Mapathon and collected pre and post surveys in late April, 2022, during the spring semester at an international high school in my three Human Geography classes.  Twenty-eight Asian students participated in the Mini-Mapathon so that medicine and services could be delivered to vulnerable populations in Nigeria and Zimbabwe by Doctors Without Borders and The Red Cross.  During the 45 minute Mini-Mapathons, students were taught how to map buildings and roads using Humanitarian Open Street Mapping software via www.hotosm.org and they took pre and post surveys so that I could better understand and measure how students learn during Mapathons and determine if my methodology for teaching crisis mapping was effective (Branch, 2009).  \t\r\n\r\nThe learning objectives of the Mini-Mapathon design were as follows: \r\n1)\tStudents will be able to co-create interactive open street maps using geo-spatial software. \r\n2)\tStudents will be able to analyze the role maps play in crisis response such as refugee crises and disasters and identify the stakeholders including citizens, international humanitarian organizations such as UNHCR, Doctors Without Borders, and Red Cross, NGO\u2019s, government agencies, and military branches.\r\n3)\tStudents will be able to develop geographical knowledge and spatial awareness.  \t\r\nI delivered pre and post surveys to better understand how students learn, what they learn, and assess the quality of crisis mapping instruction in my three Human Geography courses with 28 Asian high school students.  How to Create an Account tutorial along with the other static and video tutorials can now be found on the website I built www.crisismapping.weebly.com.                         \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\nI began each class with a 2\u20133-minute video focusing on the problem, population in need and showcasing the work of the Spanish Red Cross, UNHCR, or Doctors Without Borders, to increase cultural and historical context and show the organization who can operationalize our map to provide relief to those in need.  I then proceeded to explain that some places do not have accurate maps because they do not have Google cars driving around or adequate resources in the government to make up to date maps, however, volunteers like us can make the new maps together using satellite imagery.  I asked the students to create their own OSM accounts in previous classes because we had been using the OpenStreetMap resource to explore chokepoints, or straights and canals, to better understand geography and global trade in previous lessons.  I provided anonymous usernames and passwords if students had not yet created their OSM accounts to save time.  Some opted to use the Tutorial How to Create An OSM Account and some students taught others how to create an account quickly. \t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\nNext, I proceeded to implement the following step by step in class instructions in order to make learning visible and meet the academic language needs of the ELL students (Hattie, 2008; Yoder, et al., 2016).  \r\nStep 1) Watch a fellow student map in front of the classroom following the teacher instruction through a four-step tutorial How To Map A Building. The tutorial can be found on www.crisismapping.weebly.com \r\nStep 2) Review the four-step process by coaching the student verbally through the four-step tutorial How to Map a Building. \r\nStep 3) Correct the teacher\u2019s mistakes of not following the order and incorrectly mapping the building size, and mapping a shadow. \r\nStep 4) Answer any questions students may have. \r\nStep 5) Ask students to start mapping their first building and raise their hands before saving and uploading their work so the teacher or aid can inspect and correct their work if needed.   \r\n\r\nPDF and video tutorials on How to Map a Building and How to Map a Road were delivered through the school\u2019s information communication technology platform so students could learn at their own pace through multi-modal scaffolded instruction.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\nThe population sample of 28 Asian ELL high school junior students completed pre-surveys prior to the learning intervention or Mapathon and then completed the post survey.  The pre and post survey questions were a mix of qualitative and quantitative questions (see Table 3).  The quantitative survey data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The descriptive analysis was performed with SPSS to find the frequencies, percentages, the mean and standard deviation of survey question data. The descriptive statistics are presented below in the form of tables, graphs, and charts below.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\nI used descriptive statistics and analysis instead of inferential statistics because this was a pilot project with a small sample size.  The goal was to understand the impact of the new curriculum on this particular population and not to generalize effects of an intervention for all similar students.", "recording_license": "", "do_not_record": false, "persons": [{"guid": "571e1c09-1527-5bb7-9fbe-3603decd9c11", "id": 54, "code": "SHKTDN", "public_name": "Dr. Joel Thomas", "avatar": "https://cfp.openstreetmap.org.pl/media/avatars/Screen_Shot_2024-05-30_at_4.45.51_PM_4ASDrJM.png", "biography": "Dr. Thomas, MBA, PMP, is a certified teacher in Math, Economics, English, and Human Geography with over several years of diverse international teaching experience from preschool-prison.
