Machine Learning in Agriculture

Dear Colleagues,

With big data innovations and high-performance computing, machine learning has emerged to create new possibilities for data-intensive research in Agriculture and specially in the field of multi-disciplinary agro-technology. Applications relate to crop management, including yield prediction applications, remote and proximal sensing, crop phenotyping, disease detection, crop quality, weed detection, and species recognition; A significant field is the management of livestock, including animal protection and livestock production applications; water management; and soil management. Machine learning systems are benefiting from agriculture. Farm management systems are evolving into real-time artificial intelligence powered programs by applying machine learning to sensor data, providing rich suggestions and insights for far-reaching impact.
