  1. 1. Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Rainfed Barley Production in the Mediterranean Basin : The Almeria province case study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Francesco Saretto; [2024]
    Keywords : Barley; Rainfed; Climate Change; AquaCrop; AquaCrop-OSPy; Mediterranean; Climate Change Adaptation; Crop Modeling; Agriculture; Irrigation;

    Abstract : The Mediterranean basin is widely recognized as a climate change hotspot, with climate models projecting increasingly warmer and drier conditions that will impact local ecosystems, communities, and economies. Agriculture will be among the most affected sectors, with harsher conditions for crops’ growth, greater water needs, and lower yields. READ MORE

  2. 2. Data Driven Augmentation for Deep Learning Applications

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Sanna Severinsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Deep learning models are achieving remarkable performance on numerous tasks across various fields and applications. However, current deep learning models often suffer from overfitting and are therefore heavily reliant on regularization techniques such as data augmentation. READ MORE

  3. 3. Study of evaluation metrics while predicting the yield of lettuce plants in indoor farms using machine learning models

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Divya Chedayan; Harry Geo Fernandez; [2023]
    Keywords : machine learning; lettuce yield prediction; Regression; SVR; RF; DNN; MAE; MSE; RMSE; R-squared; Adjusted R-squared;

    Abstract : A key challenge for maximizing the world’s food supply is crop yield prediction. In this study, three machine models are used to predict the fresh weight (yield) of lettuce plants that are grown inside indoor farms hydroponically using the vertical farming infrastructure, namely, support vector regressor (SVR), random forest regressor (RFR), and deep neural network (DNN).
