背景

台風やハリケーンなどの大型の熱帯低気圧は人間生活、農業、林業、漁業、インフラに対して甚大な被害をもたらします。熱帯低気圧の発生をできる限り早く予測することは非常に重要な課題です。ところが、発生前の熱帯低気圧(熱帯低気圧のタマゴ)は専門家でさえも正しく識別するのは難しく、熱帯低気圧の発生予測を精度よく行うのは難しいのが現状です。

今回は海洋研究開発機構が提供する雲解像気象モデルNICAM [1], [2], [3]によって生成された1984年から2000年の合計17年分の大気シミュレーションデータ(画像化されたデータ)を用いて熱帯低気圧とそのタマゴを検出するアルゴリズムの作成に挑戦していただきます。 

※ NICAMは海洋研究開発機構、東京大学、理化学研究所によって共同開発されました。
※※ 本データは文部科学省のHPCI戦略プログラム分野3「防災・減災に資する地球変動予測」のもと、理化学研究所のスーパーコンピュータ「京」を利用して得られたものです(課題番号:hp120279,hp130010,hp140219)。

タスク説明

パッチ画像に対してそれが熱帯低気圧またはそのタマゴを含むか否かを判別していただきます。

評価関数 

精度評価には、評価関数「条件付きPrecision」を使用します(下式参照)。 この関数はモデルの予測精度の”良さ”を表すため、大きい値であるほど優れています。


最終順位の決定 

1. コンペ最終日までの評価(暫定評価)は評価用データセットの一部で評価し、コンペ終了後の評価(最終評価)は評価用データセットの残りの部分で評価します(※リーダーボードはコンペ終了時に自動的に最終評価に切り替わり、それを元に最終順位を決定します。このため、開催中と終了後では順位が大きく変動する場合もあります。)。

2. 評価指標が、タイ(同値)の場合は、早い日時でご応募いただいた参加者を上位とします。 

3. 順位確定の際に下記の情報を提出していただきます。 

 ・予測モデルのソースコード
 ・学習済モデル
 ・予測結果の再現の為の手順書(前処理部分、学習部分、予測部分が分かるよう明記)
 ・実行環境(OSのバージョン、使用ソフトウェア及び解析手法)
 ・乱数シード(Random Forest等の乱数を利用した手法の場合)
 ・各説明変数の予測モデルへの寄与度(寄与度の算出が可能な手法を用いた場合)
 ・データの解釈、工夫点、モデリングから得られる示唆等 

4. 再現性検証期間中、入賞候補者及び、その提出モデルが下記いずれかに該当する場合は懸賞の獲得資格を失います。

  ・例えばPythonで実装する場合、前処理はpreprocess.py、学習はtrain.py、予測はpredict.pyをそれぞれ実行すれば処理が進むように実装する。

 2. ソースコードとともに、学習済みモデルも提出してください。

  ・検収する際は学習済みモデルにより評価用データに対する予測値(応募用ファイル)を出力し、評価したときにリーダーボードのスコアを再現できるかどうかを確認します。

 3. ソースコードを提出する前に、最終的に提出した分析結果の予測値とご自身の環境で出力した予測値とが一致するか確認してください。

  ・評価用データや学習済みモデルなどのパスが正しいか確認してください。
  ・処理を実行するためのコマンドが正しいか確認してください。
