Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As the world’s population grows, producing enough food is essential. New technology is helping farmers make this happen. I am focusing on using computers to predict how much crops will grow. I am working with images of pea plants when they are still young and use them to figure out how much food will be harvested in the future from the field. One way to do this is to have the computer look at how green the crops are in each image, which shows how healthy they are. Other visual clues our model can look at are how many flowers or how many pods the plants have, or the size of their leaves. The computer learns from these clues and compares what it has learned. This tool can help farmers to make decisions on how to grow their food better and plan for the future which leads to better use of their resources and higher crop production.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
