Social media posts normally contain some metadata and/or visual information, therefore in order to detect the floods we use this information. The model is based on a Convolutional Neural Network which extracts the visual features and a bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory network to extract the semantic features from the textual metadata. We validate themethod on images extracted from Flickr which contain both visual information and metadata and compare the results when using both, visual information only or metadata only. This work has been done in the context of the MediaEval Multimedia Satellite Task.", optnote="LAMP; 600.084; 600.109; 600.120", optnote="exported from refbase (http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/show.php?record=2974), last updated on Fri, 04 Feb 2022 13:17:29 +0100", file=":http://refbase.cvc.uab.es/files/LWB2017a.pdf:PDF" }
