Abstract

Risk assessment and management of marine disasters are the prerequisite of ocean exploitation and utilization. Marine disaster assessment is a complicated system engineering with high non-linearity and uncertainty. To deal with the problem, Bayesian network (BN) has become a powerful model used for disaster assessment due to its capability of expressing complex relationships and reasoning with uncertainty. However, scarce data sets and case samples of marine disasters pose an obstacle to BN modeling, particularly for structure and parameter learning. In our research, we combine expert knowledge with small sample to propose a new BN-based assessment model. Expert knowledge is regularly expressed and quantitatively incorporated into BN learning with DS evidence theory. Then, the genetic algorithm is adopted to search the optimal network parameters. Comparative experiments show that the new model has a better assessment accuracy (91.03%) than BPNN (61.34%) and SVM (70.67%), especially with small samples. The proposed model achieves the risk assessment of marine disasters under the small sample condition, providing the technical support for marine disaster prevention and mitigation.
