Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) for more effective decision making in agriculture

Description

This chapter reviews developments in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to improve the functionality of decision support systems (DSS) in agriculture. It reviews the use of techniques such as data mining, artificial neural networks (ANN), Bayesian networks (BN), support vector machines (SVM) and association rule mining. It includes a number of case studies of practical application of these techniques to support decision making by farmers.
