Krishnaprasad Thirunarayan\, Advisor\, Amit Sh eth\, and Valerie Shalin (Psychology)ABSTRACT:With the surge in digital in formation systems\, there is a humongous amount of data from various sourc es that can be synthesized to produce intelligent systems.  These intellig ent systems can provide functionality that caters the user with related an d reliable information\, preserving low-level details and surfacing essent ial information for better decision making.Therefore\, we employ multi-mod al data (i.e.\, unstructured text\, gazetteers\, and imagery) for an aggre gate level of analysis and location-centric demand/request matching in the context of disaster relief. After classifying the Need expressed in a twe et (the WHAT)\, we leverage OpenStreetMap to geolocate thatNeedon a comput ationally accessible map of the local terrain (the WHERE) populated with l ocation features such as hospitals and housing. Further\, our novel use of flood mapping based on satellite images of the affected area supports the elimination of candidate resources that are not accessible by road transp ortation. The resulting map-based visualization serves two levels of users .  A community-level user (first-responders) can visualize aggregated summ ary of a selected geographical area and an individual level user can ident ify current needs and available resources in their geographic proximity. A dditionally\, our pluggable modularized pipeline (DisasterRecord)readily a llows for extending the functionality and the addition of any number of la yers overlaid on top of the map. The integration of disaster-related tweet s\, imagery and pre-existing knowledge-base resources (gazetteers) reduce decision-making latency and enhance resiliency by assisting decision-maker s and first responders for relief effort coordination.
