Research on the Automatic Generation of Information Requirements for Emergency Response to Unexpected Events
Source abstract
Abstract
In dealing with emergency events, it is very important when making scientific and correct decisions. As an important premise, the creation of information needs is quite essential. Taking earthquakes as a type of unexpected event, this paper constructs a large and model-driven system for automating the generating process of information requirements for earthquake response. This research explores how the different departments interact during an earthquake emergency response, how the information interacts with each other, and how the information requirement process operates. The system is designed from three points of view, building a knowledge base, designing and developing prompts, and designing the system structure. It talks about how computers automatically make info needs for sudden emergencies. During the experimental process, the backbone architectures used were four Large Language Models (LLMs): chatGLM (GLM-4.6), Spark (SparkX1.5), ERNIE Bot (4.5 Turbo), and DeepSeek (V3.2). According to the desired system process, information needs is generated by real-word cases and then they are compared to the gathered information needs by experts. In the comparison process, the “keyword weighted matching + text structure feature fusion” method was used to calculate the semantic similarity. Like true positives, false positives, and false negatives can be used to find differences and calculate metrics like precision and recal. And the F1-score is also computed. The experimental results show that all four LLMs achieved a precision and recall of over 90% in earthquake information extraction, with their F1-scores all exceeding 85%. This verifies the feasibility of the analytical method a chatGLM dopted in this research. Through comparative analysis, it was found that chatGLM exhibited the best performance, with an F1-score of 93.2%. Eventually, Python is used to script these aforementioned processes, which then create complete comparison charts for visual and test result checking. In the course of researching we also use Protege to create the knowledge requirements ontology, so it is easy for us to show and look at it. This research is particularly useful for emergency management departments, earthquake emergency response teams, and those working on intelligent emergency information systems or those focusing on the automated information requirement generation using technologies such as LLMs. It provides practical support for optimizing rapid decision-making in earthquake emergency response.
