Comparing Deep Learning models for mapping rice cultivation area in Bhutan using high-resolution satellite imagery by Biplov Bhandari, Timothy Mayer

“…Among the U-Net model sets, the RGBN, RGBNE, RGBNS, and RGBNES models had an F1-score of 0.8546, 0.8563, 0.8467, and 0.8500 respectively. An additional independent model evaluation was performed and found a high level of performance variation across all the metrics (precision, recall, and F1-score) underscoring the need for practitioners to employ independent validation. …”

Relationships between paddock-level pasture mass and cow data derived from GPS and behavior-monitoring on-animal sensors in rotationally grazed dairy systems by S.J. Hendriks, M. Qasim, J.P. Edwards

“…Further, including both location and behavior, model fit improved due to greater variation in pasture mass explained by these independent variables. The best linear model (adjusted R2 = 0.58) was for postgrazing pasture mass (kg DM/cow) with standardized distance traveled, distance to herd mates, and rumination time included as the independent variables. …”
