• Title: Trustable Mobile Crowd Sourcing for Acquiring Information from a Flooded Smart Area
• Authors: Sajedeh Abbasi, Hamed Vahdat-Nejad and Hamideh Hajiabadi
• Abstract summary: Flood is a natural phenomenon that causes severe environmental damage and destruction in smart cities. Rescue and relief organizations that intend to help the affected people need to obtain new and accurate information about the conditions of the flooded environment. In this paper, the information required from a flooded area is classified into four categories: victim, Facility and Livelihood, medical, and transfer. A crowdsourcing scheme for acquiring information is proposed, including malicious user detection to ensure the accuracy of information received.

• Abstract: Flood is a natural phenomenon that causes severe environmental damage and destruction in smart cities. After a flood, topographic, geological, and living conditions change. As a result, the previous information regarding the environment is no more valid. Rescue and relief organizations that intend to help the affected people need to obtain new and accurate information about the conditions of the flooded environment. Acquiring this required information in the shortest time is a challenge for realizing smart cities. Due to the advances in the Internet of Things technology and the prevalence of smartphones with several sensors and functionalities, it is possible to obtain the required information by leveraging the Crowdsourcing model. In this paper, the information required from a flooded area is classified into four categories: victim, Facility and Livelihood, medical, and transfer. Next, a crowdsourcing scheme for acquiring information is proposed, including malicious user detection to ensure the accuracy of information received. Finally, simulation results indicate that the proposed scheme correctly detects malicious users and ensures the quality of obtained information.

  This study introduces a novel approach to disaster text classification by enhancing a pre-trained Large Language Model (LLM) Our methodology involves creating a comprehensive instruction dataset from disaster-related tweets, which is then used to fine-tune an open-source LLM. This fine-tuned model can classify multiple aspects of disaster-related information simultaneously, such as the type of event, informativeness, and involvement of human aid.

  Explosive growth in big data technologies and artificial intelligence [AI] applications have led to increasing pervasiveness of information facets. Information facets, such as equivocality and veracity, can dominate and significantly influence human perceptions of information. We suggest that artificially intelligent technologies that can adapt information representations to overcome cognitive limitations are necessary.

  We argue that a compact and general learning objective is to minimize the entropy of the agent's state visitation estimated using a latent state-space model. This objective induces an agent to both gather information about its environment, corresponding to reducing uncertainty, and to gain control over its environment, corresponding to reducing the unpredictability of future world states.

  We study the risk of misinformation to Question Answering (QA) models by investigating the sensitivity of open-domain QA models to misinformation documents. Experiments show that QA models are vulnerable to even small amounts of evidence contamination brought by misinformation. We discuss the necessity of building a misinformation-aware QA system that integrates question-answering and misinformation detection.
