U.S.: University of Illinois Researchers Hope AI Can Help Predict Crop Yields
Researchers at the University of Illinois are looking at a type of artificial intelligence to see if it can help predict farm yields, reports The Center Square.
Farmers may love the land, but they are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence to help them work it. From self-driving tractors to algorithms for determining which plants need more nitrogen, what is becoming known as “precision agriculture” is rapidly entering all aspects of crop and livestock production.
Now, researchers at the University of Illinois are working to see if a novel form of AI can predict crop yields. While conventional methods feed data into existing patterns, convolutional neural networks organize data by creating their own patterns, much like the human brain.
