{"url":"/dataset/mwbtfreddy","name":"mwBTFreddy","full_name":null,"description_markdown":"mwBTFreddy dataset is a resource developed to support flash flood damage assessment in urban Malawi, specifically focusing on the impacts of Cyclone Freddy in 2023. The dataset comprises paired pre- and post-disaster satellite images sourced from Google Earth Pro, ac- companied by JSON files containing labelled building annotations with geographic coordinates and damage levels (no damage, minor, major, or destroyed). Developed by the Kuyesera AI Lab at the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences, this dataset is intended to facilitate the develop- ment of machine learning models tailored to building detection and damage classification in African urban contexts. It also supports flood damage visualisation and spatial analysis to inform decisions on relocation, infrastructure planning, and emergency response in climate-vulnerable regions.","description_withheld":null,"homepage":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.14190389","introduced_date":"2025-05-01","introduced_date_note":null,"introduced_by":{"paper":"/paper/mwbtfreddy-a-dataset-for-flash-flood-damage","title":"mwBTFreddy: A Dataset for Flash Flood Damage Assessment in Urban Malawi","first_author":"Evelyn Chapuma","url":null},"license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International","url":null},"modalities":[{"name":"Images","url":"/datasets/modality/images"}],"tasks":[{"name":"Damaged Building Detection","url":"/task/damaged-building-detection","datasets_with_task":"/datasets/task/damaged-building-detection"}],"languages":[],"variants":["mwBTFreddy"],"data_loaders":[],"num_papers_in_archive":1,"source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28"},"benchmarks":[],"papers_with_a_benchmark_row":[],"syntology_totals":{"read_at":"2026-09-24T18:15:14+00:00","papers_with_samples":0,"samples_harvested":0,"samples_ran":0,"samples_unverified":0,"pointer_only_for_licence":0,"papers_with_no_sample_that_ran":0,"note":"the per-paper counts above, summed; not a rate"},"papers_note":"The archive never published its papers-using-dataset list; these are papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks."}
