论文摘要
尽管在灾难中使用在线社交媒体方面已经进行了大量研究，但在灾难后的特定任务中没有系统在灾难后场景中至关重要 - 识别受灾地区的资源需求和资源 - 利用能力，以及其后续匹配。为此，我们提出了Narmada，这是一个半自动化的平台，利用社交媒体帖子中的众包信息来协助污水策划后的救济协调工作。该系统采用自然语言处理和信息检索技术来识别微博中的资源需求和资源 - 可利用能力，从帖子中提取资源，并符合适当可用性的需求。因此，该系统能够促进后污水措施救济操作中明智的资源管理。
Although a lot of research has been done on utilising Online Social Media during disasters, there exists no system for a specific task that is critical in a post-disaster scenario -- identifying resource-needs and resource-availabilities in the disaster-affected region, coupled with their subsequent matching. To this end, we present NARMADA, a semi-automated platform which leverages the crowd-sourced information from social media posts for assisting post-disaster relief coordination efforts. The system employs Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval techniques for identifying resource-needs and resource-availabilities from microblogs, extracting resources from the posts, and also matching the needs to suitable availabilities. The system is thus capable of facilitating the judicious management of resources during post-disaster relief operations.
