Trap cropping is a pest management strategy where a grower plants an attractive "trap crop" alongside the primary crop to divert pests away from it. We propose a simple framework for optimizing the proportion of a grower's field or…
Plant breeding and variety trials are usually conducted in multiple environments sampled from a defined target population of environments in order to characterize the performance of breeding lines or varieties. When the population is large…
Diversity is an important factor in evolutionary algorithms to prevent premature convergence towards a single local optimum. In order to maintain diversity throughout the process of evolution, various means exist in literature. We analyze…
Recently, Machine Learning (ML) methods are built-in as an important component in many smart agriculture platforms. In this paper, we explore the new combination of advanced ML methods for creating a smart agriculture platform where farmers…
This paper considers cooperative control of robots involving two different testbed systems in remote locations with communication on the internet. This provides us the capability to exchange robots status like positions, velocities and…
In agriculture, automating the accurate tracking of fruits, vegetables, and fiber is a very tough problem. The issue becomes extremely challenging in dynamic field environments. Yet, this information is critical for making day-to-day…
Farmers face several challenges when growing crops like uncertain irrigation, poor soil quality, etc. Especially in India, a major fraction of farmers do not have the knowledge to select appropriate crops and fertilizers. Moreover, crop…
In response to the increasing global demand for food, feed, fiber, and fuel, digital agriculture is rapidly evolving to meet these demands while reducing environmental impact. This evolution involves incorporating data science, machine…
Nowadays, the agricultural data can be generated through various sources, such as: Internet of Thing (IoT), sensors, satellites, weather stations, robots, farm equipment, agricultural laboratories, farmers, government agencies and…
We apply genetic programming techniques to the `shepherding' problem, in which a group of one type of animal (sheep dogs) attempts to control the movements of a second group of animals (sheep) obeying flocking behavior. Our genetic…
Feature crossing captures interactions among categorical features and is useful to enhance learning from tabular data in real-world businesses. In this paper, we present AutoCross, an automatic feature crossing tool provided by 4Paradigm to…
Growing mixtures of annual arable crop species or genotypes is a promising way to improve crop production without increasing agricultural inputs. To design optimal crop mixtures, choices of species, genotypes, sowing proportion, plant…
Pedigree graphs, or family trees, are typically constructed by an expensive process of examining genealogical records to determine which pairs of individuals are parent and child. New methods to automate this process take as input genetic…
In order to avoid disadvantages of monocropping for soil and environment, it is advisable to practice intercropping of various plant species whenever possible. However, intercropping is challenging as it requires a balanced planting…
The Android OS has become the most popular mobile operating system leading to a significant increase in the spread of Android malware. Consequently, several static and dynamic analysis systems have been developed to detect Android malware.…
Twin transition is the method of parallel digital and sustainability transitions in a mutually supporting way or, in common terms, "greening of and by IT and data." Twin transition reacts to the growing problem of unsustainable…
The use of an efficient coverage planning method is key for autonomous navigation in agricultural environments, where a robot must cover large areas of crops. This paper generally reviews the current state of the art of coverage path…
Climbing is a popular and growing sport, especially indoors, where climbers can train on man-made routes using artificial holds. Both strength and good technique is required to successfully reach the top of a climb, and often coaches work…
We model an artificial root which grows in the soil for underground prospecting. Its evolution is described by a controlled system of two integro-partial differential equations: one for the growth of the body and the other for the…
Motivation: The rapid growth in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in plants and animals has brought about the need for a central resource that facilitates i) performing GWAS, ii) accessing data and results of other GWAS, and iii)…
