Target Participants

We invite extended abstracts for oral and/or poster presentations on topics Including but not limited to machine learning applications to plant phenotyping, plant pathology (e.g., disease scouting), plant breeding (e.g., yield prediction) and enabling smart farm management practices.

We also encourage work that result in creating annotated benchmark datasets for ML in agriculture.
