Deep learning-based methods for natural hazard named entity recognition

Abstract

Natural hazard named entity recognition is a technique used to recognize natural hazard entities from a large number of texts. The method of natural hazard named entity recognition can facilitate acquisition of natural hazards information and provide reference for natural hazard mitigation. The method of named entity recognition has many challenges, such as fast change, multiple types and various forms of named entities. This can introduce difficulties in research of natural hazard named entity recognition. To address the above problem, this paper constructed a natural disaster annotated corpus for training and evaluation model, and selected and compared several deep learning methods based on word vector features. A deep learning method for natural hazard named entity recognition can automatically mine text features and reduce the dependence on manual rules. This paper compares and analyzes the deep learning models from three aspects: pretraining, feature extraction and decoding. A natural hazard named entity recognition method based on deep learning is proposed, namely XLNet-BiLSTM-CRF model. Finally, the research hotspots of natural hazards papers in the past 10 years were obtained through this model. After training, the precision of the XLNet-BilSTM-CRF model is 92.80%, the recall rate is 91.74%, and the F1-score is 92.27%. The results show that this method, which is superior to other methods, can effectively recognize natural hazard named entities.

A New Approach Based on TensorFlow Deep Neural Networks with ADAM Optimizer and GIS for Spatial Prediction of Forest Fire Danger in Tropical Areas

“…Comparing the TFDeepNN model with the benchmarks, i.e., RF, SVM, and LR, it indicates superior performance, thereby confirming TFDeepNN as a promising new tool that can be used for forest fire danger modeling. These results are in line with the current literature, which highlights the effectiveness of deep learning as a popular and powerful approach for achieving high prediction accuracy in the domain of natural hazards, outperforming traditional machine learning models [80][81][82].…”

Exploring Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Discourse in News: An AI-Powered Investigation Through Knowledge Graph Analysis

“…For instance, large language models have been employed to summarize news [36]. Deep learning has been employed to identify text chunks (e.g., entities) within news that are worth analysing [37], as well as fake news [38]. Recently, knowledge graphs have been used to structure the news content in a machine-readable format and further support the aforementioned tasks [3], [4].…”

An Evolutionary Prediction Model for Enterprise Basic Research Based on Knowledge Graph

“…The knowledge graph encompasses many entities and their interrelationships worldwide, encapsulating rich prior knowledge [12] . It facilitates acquiring and adding new knowledge, allowing for exploring deep associations between data, and can effectively compensate for the shortcomings of deep learning algorithms [13] . Utilizing knowledge graphs for decision support, thereby enhancing the performance of decision support systems, has become a critical issue in decision support research.…”
