INTRODUCTION
• Social media has increasingly become a vital source for reporting
disasters, including natural and human-made events.
• With the rapid growth of user-generated content, platforms like Twitter
offer a vast amount of real-time information. This presents both
opportunities and challenges for early event detection and crisis
management.
• Tools such as Ushahidi and new analytical methods are being explored
to enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of disaster response using
social media data.
RELATED WORKS
1. DISASTER MANAGEMENT CYCLE
Disaster events are divided mainly
into:
• Preparation and Mitigation: Action taken before a
• Response and Recovery: Action taken after a Disaster.
Disaster
Consensus Mechanisms:
Challenges:
• Input Embedding: Fixed and unidirectional pre-trained embeddings
may not suit all disaster categories without tuning.process.
Predictive Analysis for Event
Detection
Enhance the system’s ability to predict and respond to events by
analyzing historical data and refining prediction algorithms.
• Learning Module:
⚬ Purpose: Adjusts the prediction algorithm to improve accuracy.
⚬ Uses historical data to identify patterns and relationships between
input (e.g., social media posts) and outputs (e.g., event
classifications).
• Prediction Algorithm:
⚬ Forecasts outcomes based on new user data and previously
learned patterns.
⚬ Applies the trained model to predict future events or outcomes.
• The system continuously monitors the prediction algorithm's
performance.
• It updates model parameters based on feedback and external
conditions to enhance accuracy.
• Continuous learning ensures the system refines itself with new data
and environmental changes, keeping predictions relevant and
accurate.
