| # WildfireIA Anonymous Benchmark Release |
|
|
| This anonymous release contains the WildfireIA benchmark data used for review. |
| WildfireIA is an event-level benchmark for predicting whether a reported |
| Natural wildfire escapes initial attack from public information available at |
| fire discovery time. |
|
|
| ## Contents |
|
|
| - `data/canonical/raw_feature_tables/`: canonical benchmark tables. These are |
| the primary dataset artifact. They contain event-level tables, source-level |
| feature tables, patch-level canonical tables, labels, splits, and manifests. |
| - Model-ready caches are not included in this compact release; regenerate |
| them deterministically from the canonical tables with `code/dataloader.py`. |
| - `code/`: anonymous copies of the cache generation, training, and summary |
| scripts. |
| - `metadata/`: release manifest and cache generation commands. |
| - `croissant.json`: Croissant metadata with Responsible AI fields. |
|
|
| ## Tasks |
|
|
| Task 1 predicts initial attack failure. The sample unit is one FPA-FOD Natural |
| wildfire event. Events with final size at most 10 ha are labeled 0, events with |
| final size at least 50 ha are labeled 1, and intermediate-size events are |
| excluded from the Task 1 supervised split. |
|
|
| Task 2 predicts remaining time-to-containment as a regression target, |
| `log(1 + containment_hours)`, using the same discovery-time input contract. |
|
|
| ## Rebuilding Model-Ready Caches |
|
|
| The canonical tables can regenerate all official model-ready caches: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| python code/dataloader.py \ |
| --base_dir . \ |
| --canonical_dir data/canonical/raw_feature_tables \ |
| --output_dir data/model_ready \ |
| --task ia_failure \ |
| --representation all \ |
| --weather_days 5 \ |
| --input_protocol all \ |
| --overwrite |
| ``` |
|
|
| Additional ablation caches are generated by changing `--input_protocol` and |
| `--weather_days`; see `metadata/cache_generation_commands.md`. |
|
|
| ## Responsible Use |
|
|
| The benchmark is intended for reproducible scientific comparison and ablation |
| analysis. It should not be used as a standalone operational dispatch system |
| without agency validation. The data are public-source derived, but they include |
| wildfire locations, fire-station locations, roads, population density, and other |
| geospatial context. |
