Resumo(s)

User-generated messages with geographical information on social media platforms has been found to play an increasingly important role in crisis crowdsourced mapping. Manually extracting information requires significant human effort and time, and traditional named entity recognition methods have been shown to struggle with accurately extracting specific locations from the messages. In this study, we propose an approach that combines Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) with Google geocoder to automate geoparsing and geocoding without any training or additional data. The results indicate that, compared to manual operations, the GPT-3.5 model achieves a match rate of 55.15%, and the GPT-4 model achieves 62.28%. This suggests that large language models, represented by the GPT models, have the potential to be applied in crisis crowdsourced mapping, benefiting rapid emergency responses and potentially saving lives.
