🌍 Flood Disaster Prediction 🌊

Due to recent climate change related issues critical floods of urban areas have started becoming more and more common. Hence, a software able to estimate the likelihood of such an event could be a useful tool in order to prevent the most dramatic scenarios. For this reason we proposed the implementation of a Bayesian Network to model the likelihood of floods in various municipalities of the Italian region Veneto. The structure of the network was inspired by the paper Assessing urban flood disaster risk using Bayesian network model and GIS applications, although quite deeply modified for didactic reasons. The project was developed in Python using the pgmpy library as an assignment for the third module of the Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Representation course of the master degree in Artificial Intelligence of University of Bologna held by professor Paolo Torroni.
