Lanyu Shang, Bozhang Chen, Shiwei Liu, Yang Zhang, Ruohan Zong, Anav Vora, Ximing Cai, Na Wei, Dong Wang·December 17, 2024
Summary
SIDE, an AI-driven drought estimation framework, addresses societal impact and physical conditions interdependence. It outperforms baselines, offering insights for human-centric drought mitigation strategies. SIDE models societal impact determinants through social media and news analysis, employing a social-physical cross-attention mechanism for accurate estimation. Evaluated against state-of-the-art baselines, SIDE excels in estimating drought severity and societal impact, integrated into the DIP-Drought Platform for real-time insights.
