Abstract

This editorial introduces the Special Issue, entitled “Deep Learning (DL) Techniques for Agronomy Applications”, of Agronomy. Topics covered in this issue include three main parts: (I) DL-based image recognition techniques for agronomy applications, (II) DL-based time series data analysis techniques for agronomy applications, and (III) behavior and strategy analysis for agronomy applications. Three papers on DL-based image recognition techniques for agronomy applications are as follows: (1) “Automatic segmentation and counting of aphid nymphs on leaves using convolutional neural networks,” by Chen et al.; (2) “Estimating body condition score in dairy cows from depth images using convolutional neural networks, transfer learning, and model ensembling techniques,” by Alvarez et al.; and (3) “Development of a mushroom growth measurement system applying deep learning for image recognition,” by Lu et al. One paper on DL-based time series data analysis techniques for agronomy applications is as follows: “LSTM neural network based forecasting model for wheat production in Pakistan,” by Haider et al. One paper on behavior and strategy analysis for agronomy applications is as follows: “Research into the E-learning model of agriculture technology companies: analysis by deep learning,” by Lin et al.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • ML tools for policymakers and agronomists could potentially encourage climate-positive action, e.g., remote sensing with UAVs and satellites could perform methane detection and carbon stock estimation, which could be used to incentivize farmers to sequester more carbon and reduce emissions.

    “ML tools for policymakers and agronomists [126] could potentially encourage climate-positive action: for example, remote sensing with UAVs and satellites could perform methane detection and carbon stock estimation, which could be used to incentivize farmers to sequester more carbon and reduce emissions.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
