SimER: AI-driven Simulation for Call-Taker Training in Emergency Responses
About SimER
SimER is an AI-driven simulation environment to assist call-taker training under emergency response scenarios. SimER is under a collaborated project supported by Vanderbilt University and Metro Nashville Government.
Fun Fact: SimER is called ANGIE at DEC to honor a beloved retired employee, Angie. There's a saying at DEC: "Ask Angie, because he knows everything."
What SimER Can Do
- SimER learns from past 911 calls. It is tuned using various incident specification with diverse caller images.
- SimER talks to the trainee. SimER tailors the most up-to-date LLMs as its backend agents with a sophisticatedly designed prompt generation algorithm to generate realistic, valid, and inclusive calls.
- SimER coaches the trainee, debriefing trainee performance after evaluation.
