Richter's Predictor: Modeling Earthquake Damage

Can you predict the level of damage to buildings caused by the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal based on aspects of building location and construction?

---

Introduction

This is a model to predict the damage for buildings affected by the Nepal earthquake in 2025. The data is from the following competition: https://www.drivendata.org/competitions/57/nepal-earthquake/page/134/

Requirements

Python version: 3.11.7

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

In the main.ipynb one can set different Parameters:

• PARAMETER_TUNING
• MODEL_VALIDATION
• SAVE_MODEL
• DO_SUBMISSSION

Streamlit app

The streamlit app allows making predictions for example buidlings. Select the properties for a specific building and see its predicted damage grade.

Run the streamlit app from the console with:

streamlit run prediction_app_st.py
