From Fields to Futures: Solving Precision Agriculture Challenges (original on blogs.dal.ca)

Image
I n the ever-evolving landscape of agriculture, technology has emerged as a transformative force, offering new avenues for efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. At the forefront of this technological revolution lies precision agriculture , a paradigm shift that leverages the power of computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) to revolutionize farming practices. IoT in agriculture refers to the integration of various interconnected devices and sensors into agricultural practices to gather, analyze, and predict by acting upon real-time data. Precision agriculture requires the deployment of IoT-connected devices and services in the most challenging agricultural environments, from seasonal planning to soil preparation to yield monitoring. However, with innovation comes a unique set of challenges. Below, the key challenges are outlined that stakeholders face, along with innovative solutions that promote collaboration between technology and agriculture, aiming for susta...

If machine learning and deep learning are not the same, then what is it?

  T he terms machine learning and deep learning are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that deals with algorithms that can learn from data without being explicitly programmed. Deep learning, on the other hand, is a subset of machine learning that uses artificial neural networks to learn from data. In this blog post, we will explore the difference between machine learning and deep learning, and also discuss which one you should learn if you're just getting started in the field of artificial intelligence. What is machine learning? Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that uses data processing algorithms to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. In other words, it allows computers to learn from experience without being explicitly programmed. machine learning algorithms can be divided into two main categories - supervised and unsupervised. Supervised learning algorithms ar...
