Abstract

Loess landslide disasters are influenced by a multitude of factors, including slope conditions, triggering mechanisms, and spatial attributes. Extracting these factors from unstructured geological texts is challenging due to nested entities, semantic ambiguity, and rare domain-specific terms. This study proposes a joint extraction framework guided by a domain ontology that categorizes six types of loess landslide influencing factors, including spatial relationships. The ontology facilitates conceptual classification and semi-automatic nested entity annotation, enabling the construction of a high-quality corpus with eight tag types. The model integrates a Soft-Lexicon mechanism that enhances character-level GloVe embeddings with explicit lexical features, including domain terms, part-of-speech tags, and word boundary indicators derived from a domain-specific lexicon. The resulting hybrid character-level representations are then fed into a BiLSTM-CRF architecture to jointly extract entities, attributes, and multi-level spatial and causal relationships. Extracted results are structured using a content-knowledge model to build a spatially enriched knowledge graph, supporting semantic queries and intelligent reasoning. Experimental results demonstrate improved performance over baseline methods, showcasing the framework’s effectiveness in geohazard information extraction and disaster risk analysis.
