AI workflows can improve image-based quality control of agricultural crops

The joint project between DTU and FOSS focuses on how explainable AI can be used for quality control of biological materials – for example, grain, which varies greatly in appearance. The result is not only new insights but also a workflow that can help others develop explainable AI models for biological materials.
From healthcare data to banking information: Researchers aim to share sensitive data for societal benefit

18 November 2024
