GraphVSSM: Graph Variational State-Space Model for Probabilistic Spatiotemporal Inference of Dynamic Exposure and Vulnerability for Regional Disaster Resilience Assessment
- 融合图神经网络与状态空间模型,统一建模时空关联与不确定性。
- 在菲律宾奎松市、孟加拉科鲁什库尔等地验证,捕捉突发灾害影响变化。
- 开源新数据集METEOR 2.5D,支持弱监督下全球脆弱性动态评估。
区域灾害韧性量化物理风险演变,以支持从地方应急恢复到国际可持续发展的政策制定。尽管现有方法显著推进了暴露度与灾害的动态制图,但对大尺度物理脆弱性的理解仍处于静态、高成本、区域局限、粗粒度、过度聚合且校准不足的状态。随着时间序列遥感影像及衍生产品在暴露度与灾害监测中日益丰富,本文聚焦风险方程中同等重要却具挑战性的环节——物理脆弱性。我们采用机器学习方法,在统一的概率时空推断框架中灵活捕捉空间上下文关系、有限时序观测和不确定性。为此提出图变分状态空间模型(GraphVSSM),一种新颖的模块化时空方法,首次结合图深度学习、状态空间建模与变分推断,利用时间序列数据和先验专家知识,在弱监督或粗到细粒度的设定下实现建模。主要成果包括:在菲律宾奎松市的城市级示范;对孟加拉科鲁什库尔沿海社区受飓风突袭及塞拉利昂弗里敦泥石流影响的动态分析;以及一个开放的地理空间数据集METEOR 2.5D,对联合国最不发达国家(2020)现有静态数据集进行时空增强。本方法不仅推动区域灾害韧性评估,助力全球减灾进展理解,也为需要弱监督组合数据分析的更广泛城市研究提供概率深度学习范式。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Regional disaster resilience quantifies the changing nature of physical risks to inform policy instruments ranging from local immediate recovery to international sustainable development. While many existing state-of-practice methods have greatly advanced the dynamic mapping of exposure and hazard, our understanding of large-scale physical vulnerability has remained static, costly, limited, region-specific, coarse-grained, overly aggregated, and inadequately calibrated. With the significant growth in the availability of time-series satellite imagery and derived products for exposure and hazard, we focus our work on the equally important yet challenging element of the risk equation: physical vulnerability. We leverage machine learning methods that flexibly capture spatial contextual relationships, limited temporal observations, and uncertainty in a unified probabilistic spatiotemporal inference framework. We therefore introduce Graph Variational State-Space Model (GraphVSSM), a novel modular spatiotemporal approach that uniquely integrates graph deep learning, state-space modeling, and variational inference using time-series data and prior expert belief systems in a weakly supervised or coarse-to-fine-grained manner. We present three major results: a city-wide demonstration in Quezon City, Philippines; an investigation of sudden changes in the cyclone-impacted coastal Khurushkul community (Bangladesh) and mudslide-affected Freetown (Sierra Leone); and an open geospatial dataset, METEOR 2.5D, that spatiotemporally enhances the existing global static dataset for UN Least Developed Countries (2020). Beyond advancing regional disaster resilience assessment and improving our understanding global disaster risk reduction progress, our method also offers a probabilistic deep learning approach, contributing to broader urban studies that require compositional data analysis in weak supervision.
