• Title: Hierarchical Multi-label Classification for Fine-level Event Extraction from Aviation Accident Reports
• Authors: Xinyu Zhao, Hao Yan, Yongming Liu,
• Abstract summary: This article argues that we can identify the events more accurately by leveraging the event taxonomy. We achieve this hierarchical classification task by incorporating a novel hierarchical attention module into BERT. It has been shown that fine-level prediction accuracy is highly improved, and the regularization term can be beneficial to the rare event identification problem.

• Abstract: A large volume of accident reports is recorded in the aviation domain, which greatly values improving aviation safety. To better use those reports, we need to understand the most important events or impact factors according to the accident reports. However, the increasing number of accident reports requires large efforts from domain experts to label those reports. In order to make the labeling process more efficient, many researchers have started developing algorithms to identify the underlying events from accident reports automatically. This article argues that we can identify the events more accurately by leveraging the event taxonomy. More specifically, we consider the problem a hierarchical classification task where we first identify the coarse-level information and then predict the fine-level information. We achieve this hierarchical classification process by incorporating a novel hierarchical attention module into BERT. To further utilize the information from event taxonomy, we regularize the proposed model according to the relationship and distribution among labels. The effectiveness of our framework is evaluated with the data collected by National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). It has been shown that fine-level prediction accuracy is highly improved, and the regularization term can be beneficial to the rare event identification problem.

  We model a common weak labeling process where annotators assign presence or absence labels to fixed-length data segments. We compare this fixed-length labeling approach with an oracle method that uses the true event activations to construct the segments. Our findings provide a theoretical justification for adaptive weak labeling strategies that mimic the oracle process.

  We propose a large-scale traffic crash language dataset, named CrashEvent, summarizing 19,340 real-world crash reports. We further formulate the crash event feature learning as a novel text reasoning problem and further fine-tune various large language models (LLMs) to predict detailed accident outcomes. Our experiments results show that our LLM-based approach not only predicts the severity of accidents but also classifies different types of accidents and predicts injury outcomes.

CAP is formulated by an attentive text-to-vision shift fusion module, an attentive scene context transfer module, and the driver attention guided accident prediction module. We construct a new large-scale benchmark consisting of 11,727 in-the-wild accident videos with over 2.19 million frames.
