  1. 1. 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).
