This repository contains scripts and associate resources to train model using MEDIC dataset. The MEDIC is the largest multi-task learning disaster related dataset, which is an extended version of the crisis image benchmark dataset. It consists data from several data sources such as CrisisMMD, data from AIDR and Damage Multimodal Dataset (DMD). The dataset contains 71,198 images.
