Query: Building Information Modeling and Classification by Visual Learning At A
  City Scale   In this paper, we provide two case studies to demonstrate how artificial
intelligence can empower civil engineering. In the first case, a machine
learning-assisted framework, BRAILS, is proposed for city-scale building
information modeling. Building information modeling (BIM) is an efficient way
of describing buildings, which is essential to architecture, engineering, and
construction. Our proposed framework employs deep learning technique to extract
visual information of buildings from satellite/street view images. Further, a
novel machine learning (ML)-based statistical tool, SURF, is proposed to
discover the spatial patterns in building metadata.
  The second case focuses on the task of soft-story building classification.
Soft-story buildings are a type of buildings prone to collapse during a
moderate or severe earthquake. Hence, identifying and retrofitting such
buildings is vital in the current earthquake preparedness efforts. For this
task, we propose an automated deep learning-based procedure for identifying
soft-story buildings from street view images at a regional scale. We also
create a large-scale building image database and a semi-automated image
labeling approach that effectively annotates new database entries. Through
extensive computational experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the
proposed method.
