PROTEA-M: MARCO MULTIMODAL PARA LA COMUNICACIÓN INCLUSIVA EN SITUACIONES DE INUNDACIÓN
Resumen
Los sistemas de alerta temprana constituyen la principal herramienta para la notificación y orientación de la población en situaciones de emergencia; sin embargo, aún utilizan mensajes estandarizados que no consideran diferencias cognitivas y comunicativas. Esta limitación afecta directamente a las personas con Trastorno del Espectro Autista, que requieren formas estructuradas y predecibles de organización de la información para la comprensión y la toma de decisiones en contextos de riesgo. Este trabajo presenta el framework PROTEA-M (Program for Readiness and Organized Training in Emergencies for Autistic Individuals - Multimodal), un modelo predictivo-generativo multimodal orientado a la producción de contenidos inclusivos para la preparación en escenarios de inundación. El modelo estima el perfil comunicativo y el plan de intervención y, a partir de esta estimación, genera Historias Sociales personalizadas. El módulo predictivo utiliza un ensemble de Extreme Learning Machines con fusión de evidencias y calibración probabilística, presentando un rendimiento superior a los baselines, con una precisión de 0.6923 y ROC-AUC de 0.9782, además de una mejor calidad probabilística. El módulo generativo produce narrativas multimodales mediante modelos de lenguaje, traduciendo variables clínicas en secuencias visuales y textuales organizadas. PROTEA-M contribuye a la evolución de los sistemas de alerta al incorporar personalización comunicativa y accesibilidad cognitiva.
