SeaAlert: Robust Severity Classification and LLM-Based Information Extraction for Noisy Maritime Distress Communications
Maritime distress communications transmitted over very high frequency (VHF) radio are safety-critical voice messages used to report emergencies at sea. Under the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS), such messages follow standardized procedures and are expected to convey essential details, including vessel identity, position, nature of the distress, and required assistance. In practice, however, automatic analysis remains difficult because distress messages are often brief, noisy, and produced under stress, may deviate from the prescribed format, and are further degraded by automatic speech recognition (ASR) errors caused by channel noise and speaker stress.
