Predicting crop yield lows through the highs via binned deep imbalanced regression: A case study on vineyards by Hamid Kamangir, Brent S. Sams, Nick Dokoozlian, Luis Sanchez, J. Mason Earles

“…This approach encourages smoother and more coherent input feature maps across different segments of the yield value range by leveraging similarities within and across yield bins, ultimately improving the model’s ability to generalize and distinguish between subtle variations in yield. This approach creates ”yield zone maps,” grouping yields into classes (e.g., low extreme, common, high extreme) to improve the identification of yield variability, which can be removed during inference. …”
