Unlocking chickpea flour potential: AI-powered prediction for quality assessment and compositional characterisation by Ali Zia, Muhammad Husnain, Sally Buck, Jonathan Richetti, Elizabeth Hulm, Jean-Philippe Ral, Vivien Rolland, Xavier Sirault

“…Using a dataset comprising 136 chickpea varieties, the research compares the performance of several state-of-the-art deep learning models, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Vision Transformers (ViTs), and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs), and compares the most effective model, CNN, against the traditional Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) method. The results demonstrate that CNN-based models outperform PLSR, providing more accurate predictions for key quality attributes such as protein content, starch, soluble sugars, insoluble fibres, total lipids, and moisture levels. …”
