Hierarchical Modeling of Seed Variety Yields and Decision Making for Future Planting Plans [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Eradicating hunger and malnutrition is a key development goal of the 21st century. We address the problem of optimally identifying seed varieties to reliably increase crop yield within a risk-sensitive decision-making framework. Specifically, we introduce a novel hierarchical machine learning mechanism for predicting crop yield (the yield of different ...

Towards computer vision powered color-nutrient assessment of pureed food [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 With one in four individuals afflicted with malnutrition, computer vision may provide a way of introducing a new level of automation in the nutrition field to reliably monitor food and nutrient intake. In this study, we present a novel approach to modeling the link between color and vitamin A content using transmittance imaging of a pureed foods ...
