Although I didn’t share this before, I’m excited to post about it now! Looking back, this experience was incredibly rewarding and full of lessons. It’s never too late to celebrate and express my gratitude.
Last year, I had the opportunity to publish my final year research project, "Utilizing Machine Learning for Forecasting Profitable Vegetable Crops and Land Use in Sri Lankan Agriculture" at the 7th SLAAI Conference 2023. I’m incredibly grateful to my research supervisor Dr. Chinthanie Weerakoon and lecturers in our department for their invaluable support and guidance throughout this journey. It was an incredibly fulfilling journey that deepened my understanding of machine learning algorithms.
🌟 Key Highlights:
- This research gives solutions for selection of profitable vegetable crops, reduction of surplus vegetable stocks and minimization of product losses in specific vegetable varieties.
- It aims to predict the most profitable vegetable crop and the corresponding land area required for cultivation.
💪 Challenges Faced :
- Gathering data from multiple departments was challenging, as some records were handwritten, requiring significant effort to compile and organize.
- Algorithm Selection: Identifying suitable machine learning algorithms to address specific problems in agriculture took careful evaluation and testing.
