Real-time forecasting of typhoon inundation extent in a partially-gauged area through the integration of ARX-based models and a geographic information system

Abstract

Abstract. This study presents a methodology for forecasting the extent of inundation and depth of distribution during typhoons in real-time. The proposed approach involves the construction of ARX and ARMAX models capable of predicting water-levels at the locations of on-site gauging stations and 10 representative points located at the outlets of the sub-areas obtained by terrain analysis using a geographic information system. The models are constructed based on historical typhoon data and the results of numerical simulations related to inundation. A database comprising layers of inundation maps related to water-levels in each sub-area based on the assumption of flat-water and the digital elevation model (DEM) of the area were assembled prior to the typhoon. Water-levels during the typhoon are forecast using the 15 constructed models, whereupon inundation sub-maps associated with the forecasted water-levels are extracted from the database. The resulting inundation map is comparable to that obtained using Synthetic Aperture Radar. Processing can be conducted in real-time and requires very little computational resources. This provides valuable lead time in which to conduct efforts aimed at damage mitigation during a typhoon. 20

Enhancing Contextual Understanding of Mistral LLM with External Knowledge Bases

“…Despite these strides, a persistent challenge remains in bridging the gap between AI's interpretation of context and the nuanced understanding exhibited by humans. Studies have pointed out the limitations in current models' ability to integrate and apply external, cultural, or realworld knowledge dynamically, raising a critical area for further exploration [17,18,19,20]. The exploration of mechanisms for incorporating broader contextual cues and external information sources has been identified as a promising direction to enhance AI systems' depth of understanding and adaptability [21,22,14].…”
