Abstract
The use of machine learning (ML) in crop disease detection has gain significant attention from both academia and industry lately. This paper posits that ML techniques can be employed for early detection and diagnosis of the two (2) major diseases that affect cocoa production namely – Swollen Shoot and Black Pod. In this regard, a mobile application is designed with ML techniques integrated to enable cocoa farmers take a picture of the cocoa pod and upload for the diagnosis, which takes place on a backend cloud service. The automatic detection and diagnosis of diseases is based on the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for image analysis and classification. In the paper, four (4) CNN models are built and trained. The best performing model is SSD MobileNet V2 with over 80% confidence detection score.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
