Integrating machine learning, deep learning, and image analysis for seed species classification
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The growing demand for wildflower seeds in ecological restoration requires reliable species identification, yet current market products often contain heterogeneous species. As seed identification is labor‐intensive and requires advanced botanical knowledge, we evaluated multiple segmentation and classification approaches to determine ...

A Rethink on Measuring Health Inequalities Using the Gini Coefficient [PDF]
Objective- We show that a standardized Gini coefficient that takes into account the feasible range of health inequality for a given health attribute is a better instrument than the normal Gini coefficient for quantifying inter-individual health ...
