Anna Zanchetta
Anna is a long term OSM contributor and MissingMaps volunteer, currently employed as a Research Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute, London. In this role, she collaborates with HOT - the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, and HeiGit - Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology, Germany, on assessing the performance of fAIr.
She is also one of the main people behind Maptcha, a cool project that hopefully will take off one day!
Sessions
fAIr is an open AI-assisted mapping tool developed by HOT, the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. Recently a new machine learning algorithm was added and OSM users can experiment with mapping buildings around the globe. How well does fAIr work and has the new addition improved this?
With MapTCHA we explore if the validation of computationally generated predictions of map features could serve as an image based CAPTCHA to map new OSM objects. Following an earlier proof-of-concept at FOSDEM 2025, here we provide a development update.
