首次为野火疏散地图提供安全保证,确保漏报率低于5%。
Conformal Risk Control for Safety-Critical Wildfire Evacuation Mapping: A Comparative Study of Tabular, Spatial, and Graph-Based Models
- 用分布无关的校准方法,给预测结果加安全兜底
- 传统模型漏报7%-72%,新方法实现95%覆盖仅标记15%区域
- 适合需要高安全性的应急决策系统,尤其关注可靠性
当前所有野火预测模型均缺乏对漏报范围的形式化保障。尽管深度学习在野火蔓延预测中已有广泛应用,但尚无研究将其与分布无关的安全保障结合。本文首次将共形风险控制(CRC)应用于该领域,实现有限样本下漏报率不超过5%的严格保证。实验对比了三类模型:表格型(LightGBM,AUROC 0.854)、卷积型(Tiny U-Net,AUROC 0.969)和图结构型(Hybrid ResGNN-UNet,AUROC 0.964)。标准阈值仅能捕获7%-72%的真实火势蔓延。而引入CRC后,所有空间模型均达到约95%覆盖,同时仅标记约15%像素,效率比LightGBM高4.2倍;图模型虽更复杂,但未带来显著效率提升。研究提出一种考虑时间变化的三区分类框架(安全/监控/疏散),并揭示极端类别不平衡(约5%火区占比)下加权边界存在根本局限。所有模型、代码与评估流程均已开源,确保可复现性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Every wildfire prediction model deployed today shares a dangerous property: none of these methods provides formal guarantees on how much fire spread is missed. Despite extensive work on wildfire spread prediction using deep learning, no prior study has applied distribution-free safety guarantees to this domain, leaving evacuation planners reliant on probability thresholds with no formal assurance. We address this gap by presenting, to our knowledge, the first application of conformal risk control (CRC) to wildfire spread prediction, providing finite-sample guarantees on false negative rate (FNR <= 0.05). We expose a stark failure: across three model families of increasing complexity (tabular: LightGBM, AUROC 0.854; convolutional: Tiny U-Net, AUROC 0.969; and graph-based: Hybrid ResGNN-UNet, AUROC 0.964), standard thresholds capture only 7-72% of true fire spread. CRC eliminates this failure uniformly. Our central finding is that model architecture determines evacuation efficiency, while CRC determines safety: both spatial models with CRC achieve approximately 95% fire coverage while flagging only approximately 15% of total pixels, making them 4.2x more efficient than LightGBM, while the graph model's additional complexity over a simple U-Net yields no meaningful efficiency gain. We propose a shift-aware three-way CRC framework that assigns SAFE/MONITOR/EVACUATE zones for operational triage, and characterize a fundamental limitation of prevalence-weighted bounds under extreme class imbalance (approximately 5% fire prevalence). All models, calibration code, and evaluation pipelines are released for reproducibility.
