HiDEF: A Hierarchical Disaster Information Extraction Framework Based on Adversarial Augmentation and Dynamic Prompting

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: In disaster emergency response, spatial location information embedded within social media texts holds substantial value for the rapid localization of affected areas and the implementation of precise rescue operations. Existing research predominantly employs natural language processing and deep learning technologies for geographic information extraction; however, two critical limitations persist: first, insufficient integration of textual semantic features for disaster relevance determination, resulting in inadequate correlation between extracted results and actual disaster locations; second, absence of mechanisms for identifying affected sites in multi-location contexts, thereby compromising decision support efficacy. Addressing these challenges, this study proposes a hierarchical disaster location information extraction framework that integrates semantic understanding. The framework operates through a three-tier hierarchy: data-level adversarial augmentation, semantic-level dynamic parsing, and parameter-level scale optimization. It achieves three core functionalities: (1) precise determination of disaster relevance for geographic location information; (2) identification of affected areas in multi-location contexts; (3) establishment of a logarithmic scaling relationship between LLM parameter scale and optimal prompt sample size.
