Distilling Information from a Flood: A Possibility for the Use of Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review in Machine Learning Research
The current flood of information in all areas of machine learning research, from computer vision to reinforcement learning, has made it difficult to make aggregate scientific inferences. It can be challenging to distill a myriad of similar papers into a set of useful principles, to determine which new methodologies to use for a particular application, and to be confident that one has compared against all relevant related work when developing new ideas. However, such a rapidly growing body of research literature is a problem that other fields have already faced - in particular, medicine and epidemiology. In those fields, systematic reviews and meta-analyses have been used exactly for dealing with these issues and it is not uncommon for entire journals to be dedicated to such analyses. Here, we suggest the field of machine learning might similarly benefit from meta-analysis and systematic review, and we encourage further discussion and development along this direction.

Enhancing Flood Impact Analysis using Interactive Retrieval of Social Media Images
The analysis of natural disasters such as floods in a timely manner often suffers from limited data due to a coarse distribution of sensors or sensor failures. This limitation could be alleviated by leveraging informatio…
Content-Based Image RetrievalImage RetrievalRetrievalSocial Media Alerts can Improve, but not Replace Hydrological Models for Forecasting Floods
Social media can be used for disaster risk reduction as a complement to traditional information sources, and the literature has suggested numerous ways to achieve this. In the case of floods, for instance, data collectio…
Flood Analytics Information System (FAIS) Version 4.00 Manual
This project was the first attempt to use big data analytics approaches and machine learning along with Natural Language Processing (NLP) of tweets for flood risk assessment and decision making. Multiple Python packages …
Decision MakingThe Connection between the Text and Images of News Articles: New Insights for Multimedia Analysis
We report on a case study of text and images that reveals the inadequacy of simplistic assumptions about their connection and interplay. The context of our work is a larger effort to create automatic systems that can ext…
ArticlesToolFlood: Beyond Selection -- Hiding Valid Tools from LLM Agents via Semantic Covering
Large Language Model (LLM) agents increasingly use external tools for complex tasks and rely on embedding-based retrieval to select a small top-k subset for reasoning. As these systems scale, the robustness of this retri…
