Introduction

Road safety is a global concern, with thousands of accidents occurring every day. In this challenge, you will build a regression model to predict the likelihood of road accidents using features like road type, weather, lighting, and time of day.

This challenge aims to encourage innovative data-driven solutions for proactive accident prevention and safer road management.

In this challenge, participants will be provided with:

• Model Access: Road Accident Risk Baseline

  • Code baseline to develop solutions.
  • Dependencies: Add every dependency you import in requirements.txt.

• Dataset Access: Road Accident Risk Dataset

  • Training dataset (train.csv) to train your machine learning models.
  • Testing dataset (test.csv) to predict labels for generating the submission file.

Goal: Build a regression model that predicts the likelihood of accidents (accident_risk) for each road segment.

Requirements

System Requirements

• Python 3.10+

What you may and may not change

Part	Rule
my_ai_lib package name	Locked — DO NOT EDIT. AIOZ AI imports my_ai_lib.run(...). Do not rename the folder or remove from .run import run.
TaskInput / TaskOutput in schemas.py	Locked — DO NOT EDIT.
run() in run.py	Locked — DO NOT EDIT. It is the entrypoint AIOZ AI calls; do not rename or remove it.
load_model / preprocess / predict / postprocess	Yours. Fill in these stages with your logic in model.py and pipeline.py.
requirements.txt	Yours. Add every dependency you import.

Detailed Tutorial

Step 1: Initialize Your AI Library

1.1 Define my_ai_lib/__init__.py

from .run import run

This file exposes the run() function from run.py as an attribute of my_ai_lib, so you can call it as my_ai_lib.run().

1.2 Define Input/Output Objects in my_ai_lib/schemas.py

Note: In this template, schemas.py is pre-defined and locked. Do not edit it.

from aioz_ainode_adapter.schemas import FileObject, InputObject, OutputObject

class TaskInput(InputObject):
    input_folder: str

class TaskOutput(OutputObject):
    output_file: FileObject

Step 2: Understanding AIOZ Schema Objects

• InputObject (base fields your TaskInput inherits):
  • device: one of cpu, cuda, gpu (default cuda).
  • model_storage_directory: where your weights live — read this path, do not hard-code one.
• This challenge adds one input field: input_folder: str.
• OutputObject: this challenge returns output_file: FileObject.
• FileObject: data (a local Path, an open binary file, or a URL) + name.

Step 3: Implement the Main Workflow

3.1 Implement Your AI Logic (my_ai_lib/model.py & my_ai_lib/pipeline.py)

Modify my_ai_lib/model.py and my_ai_lib/pipeline.py to add your custom logic.

• load_model: Load your weights/models from model_storage_directory.
• preprocess: Read and preprocess the test data (e.g., test.csv) from input_folder.
• predict: Run your loaded model on the features to predict accident_risk.
• postprocess: Save predictions to result.csv and return its path.

3.2 Implement the Required run() Function (my_ai_lib/run.py)

Note: In this template, run() is pre-defined to link your pipeline stages. Do not edit it.

def run(input_obj: TaskInput) -> TaskOutput:
    """Mandatory entrypoint — DO NOT RENAME IT."""
    task_input = TaskInput.model_validate(input_obj.model_dump())  # validate the input

    model = load_model(task_input.model_storage_directory, task_input.device)
    samples = preprocess(task_input.input_folder)
    predictions = predict(model, samples)
    output_path = postprocess(predictions)
    output = open(output_path, "rb")
    output_file = FileObject(data=output, name=os.path.basename(output.name))
    return TaskOutput(output_file=output_file)

Critical: The run() function name is mandatory and cannot be changed.

Step 4: Create Demo Script

The template includes a preflight script (preflight.py) to test your implementation end-to-end and verify the output schema.

Run this command to test your implementation:

python preflight.py

Expected console output:

✅  my_ai_lib.run found
✅  locked schema is intact
Input:  type='InputObj' device='cuda' model_storage_directory='.../models' input_folder='sample_input/'
Output: type='OutputObj' output_file=FileObject(type='FileObj', data=..., name='result.csv')
✅  run() returned a valid TaskOutput with a file

Step 5: Add Model Weights

Place your trained model files in the models/ directory:

models/
├── model.pth          # Your trained model
├── config.json        # Model configuration
└── etc.

Step 6: Format Your Prediction Output (For Submission)

Your model must output predictions in a specific format for grading. Implement the logic to generate this file in the postprocess function of my_ai_lib/pipeline.py.

Requirements:

• Process test dataset (test.csv in test data folder)
• Generate accident risk predictions (a continuous value between 0 and 1) for each road segment id
• Save results as result.csv

Implementation Example in pipeline.py:

import csv
from pathlib import Path
from typing import List, Tuple, Union

def postprocess(
    predictions: List[Tuple[Union[str, int], float]], output_path: Path = Path("result.csv")
) -> Path:
    """Turn predictions into your output file and return its path.

    Placeholder: write the predictions to result.csv.
    """
    with output_path.open("w", newline="") as f:
        writer = csv.writer(f)
        writer.writerow(["id", "accident_risk"])
        writer.writerows(predictions)
    return output_path

Important: The result.csv must match the challenge's submission format exactly.

Notes

• Use relative imports for your own modules (from .lib import helper) so your code runs inside the sandbox.
• Let exceptions propagate — AIOZ AI reports them; do not catch and hide them.
• Run python preflight.py before every submission.

Submission Guidelines

Submission Format

Submit a CSV file with two columns:

• id: The unique identifier for each road segment.
• accident_risk: The predicted likelihood of accidents (a continuous value between 0 and 1).

Example: result.csv

id,accident_risk
1001,0.352
1002,0.587
1003,0.102
