Traditional flood modelling relies on costly hydrodynamic physical simulations, while social media platforms like Twitter are used for real-time communication during flooding events. This article introduces a novel flood forecasting and monitoring model that uses a transformer network to analyze the sentiment of multimodal inputs (text and images) in order to assess flooding severity. The article also compares state-of-the-art deep learning methods for image and natural language processing. Additionally, the article demonstrates the effective use of information from tweets to dynamically visualize detailed geographical flood-related information.
Traditional approaches to flood modelling mostly rely on hydrodynamic physical simulations. While these simulations can be accurate, they are computationally expensive and prohibitively so when thinking about real-time prediction based on dynamic environmental conditions. Alternatively, social media platforms such as Twitter are often used by people to communicate during a flooding event, but discovering which tweets hold useful information is the key challenge in extracting information from posts in real time. In this article, we present a novel model for flood forecasting and monitoring that makes use of a transformer network that assesses the severity of a flooding situation based on sentiment analysis of the multimodal inputs (text and images). We also present an experimental comparison of a range of state-of-the-art deep learning methods for image processing and natural language processing. Finally, we demonstrate that information induced from tweets can be used effectively to visualise fine-grained geographical flood-related information dynamically and in real-time.
