Abstract-Agriculture sector is evolving with the advent of the information and communication technology. Efforts are being made to enhance the productivity and reduce losses by using the state of the art technology and equipment. As most of the farmers are unaware of the technology and latest practices, many expert systems have been developed in the world to facilitate the farmers. However, these expert systems rely on the stored knowledge base. We propose an expert system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) that will use the input data collected in real time. It will help to take proactive and preventive actions to minimize the losses due to diseases and insects/pests.
Machine learning techniques provide learning mechanism that can be used to induce knowledge from data. A few studies exist on the use of machine learning techniques for medical diagnosis, prediction and treatment. In this study we evaluate different machine learning techniques for birth classification (cesarean or normal). Data on cesarean section is collected and different medical factors are identified that result in cesarean births. A birth classification model is built using decision tree and artificial neural networks. It can classify the births into normal and cesarean with an average accuracy, precision and recall of 80%, 85% and 84% respectively. Association rule mining is used to extract disease patterns from the collected data. It highlights the important medical factors that are associated with cesarean births.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
