Fire incidents visualization and pattern recognition using machine learning algorithms

Abstract

A fire incident is a devastating event that can be avoided with enough knowledge on how and when it may occur. For the past years, fire incidents have become a big problem for the Philippines, since it affects the socio-economic growth of the country. Machine learning algorithm is a well-known technique to predict and analyze data. It can also be used to recognize pattern and develop models for artificial intelligence. Pattern recognition through machine learning algorithm is already established and have proven itself accurate in different fields such as education, crime, health and many others including fire incidents. This paper aims to develop a model for recognizing patterns of fire incidents in the province of Laguna, Philippines implementing a machine learning algorithm. With the foregoing project, it is found out that a recurrent neural network shows an astonishing result in terms of pattern recognition. Further, it is also found that Calamba City is the most vulnerable area in case of fire occurrence in the Province of Laguna.
