As part of our mission to put AI diagnostics in the hands of all farmers, we are running Online hands-on AI training sessions for Scientists, Students & Agronomists to build test and share AI Engines

The training includes an introductory 40-minute session AI and a follow on hands-on 40-minute session where students build and test their own AI engines using a GoMicro device.

Why we are doing this ?

To build AI skills and build AI engines that we may use and share with our community of users.

Only for partners who…

1. Who wish to support the AI for all project
2. With a commitment to building and sharing AI applications
3. Willingness to share image data and engines created
4. Committed to building engines that are beneficial to local farmers

What we provide

1. Free training
2. GoMicro Devices at cost
3. Free Engine Buiding and test deployment
4. Support for R&D

Introductory Session

1. Introduction to Machine Learning
2. Online Demo
3. What is AI?
4. Accuracy Issues
5. Training and Testing
6. AI in Agriculture
7. GoMicro AI
8. AI for detecting pest and plant disease
9. AI for Food Quality Assessment
10. How AI can improve profitability
11. Exercise for the hands-on session

Home Work Exercise

Build and Test and AI Engine to differentiate the Front/Back of any leaf using 50 Gomicro images – to be loaded into Google Drive. AI engines will then be built out of these images and deployed in the student’s device for testing. This can be done in groups of 3 students.

You need to bring a fresh set of leaves (around 10) for testing the next session

DIY AI Session

1.Install and Register Spot Check App
2.Testing of AI Engine (experiment)
3.Assessing accuracy (experiment)
4.Assessing the accuracy of AI with a lower number of images (demo)
5.Assessing the accuracy of AI with faulty training(demo)
6.What is overfitting?
7.Your own detection project (discussion)

Requirements

1. PC/Laptop with WebCam
2. Zoom
3. GoMicro Magnifier

AI Application Building Session

In this session we will work with students groups to collect images, build AI engines and validate its accuracy for AI engines that would be of use to farmers in the region.

The sessions are FREE (but you need to have GoMicro Devices)
