Combining SMOTE Sampling and Machine Learning for Forecasting Wheat Yields in France

Abstract: This paper describes a method of predicting wheat yields based on machine learning, which accurately determines the value of wheat yield losses in France. Obtaining reliable value from yield losses is difficult because we are tackling a highly unbalanced classification problem. As part of this study, we propose applying the Synthetic Minor Oversampling technique (SMOTE) as a pretreatment step before applying machine learning methods. The approach proposed here improves the accuracy of learning and allows bette… Show more

“…A classification task begins with build training data for which the target values (or class assignments) are known. Many classification algorithms use different techniques for finding relations between the predictor attributes values and the target attributes values in the build data [14] [15]. In the following subsections, a summarised overview of the implemented machine learning algorithms is reported.…”

“…That is, agricultural data are often imbalanced, sparse, and riddled with noise [16]- [23]. For example, in disease prediction, data are often imbalanced leading to poorer classification models, and sometimes overly optimistic model performance estimates [24], [25]. Further, the commentary on critical aspects such as model trustworthiness is very limited.…”
