SeaAlert framework enhances analysis of noisy maritime distress calls

Researchers have developed SeaAlert, a new framework designed to improve the analysis of maritime distress communications. This system utilizes transformer-based severity classification and LLM-based information extraction to handle noisy and non-standard distress messages. To overcome the lack of labeled data, a synthetic data generation pipeline was created, producing varied distress messages that were then degraded with simulated noise and processed by an ASR system. The evaluation demonstrated that SeaAlert's transformer models are more resilient to noise and variations in communication than traditional methods, while its LLM-based extraction proved more effective than regex approaches.

    SeaAlert: Robust Severity Classification and LLM-Based Information Extraction for Noisy Maritime Distress Communications

    arXiv:2604.14163v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Maritime distress communications transmitted over very high frequency (VHF) radio are safety-critical voice messages used to report emergencies at sea. Under the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), such mes…
