Yield Prediction
Yield prediction aims to accurately forecast crop production, informing agricultural decision-making and resource allocation. Current research emphasizes leveraging diverse data sources (remote sensing, weather, soil properties, genetics) with advanced machine learning models, including deep neural networks (DNNs), Bayesian optimization, and graph neural networks (GNNs), to improve prediction accuracy and explainability. These advancements are crucial for optimizing agricultural practices, enhancing food security, and mitigating climate change impacts on crop production, particularly by improving risk assessment and resource management. Furthermore, research is actively exploring methods to address data heterogeneity and imbalance, and to enhance model interpretability.
