“Deep Learning-Based Phenotypic Analysis of Greenhouse Crops” (2023): Developed a lightweight CNN model for plant images, validating visual data’s efficacy in growth prediction.
“Soil Nutrient Monitoring System with Multi-Robot Collaboration” (2022): Designed communication protocols for underground robot swarms, offering hardware integration insights for this study.
“Limitations of GPT-3 in Agricultural Q&A” (2024): Highlighted gaps in public models for domain-specific tasks (e.g., agronomic parameter interpretation), justifying this project’s fine-tuning needs. These works demonstrate my methodological expertise and problem-awareness in agricultural AI.
Recommended past research includes:
This research requires GPT-4 fine-tuning for three reasons:
Complex Scene Parsing: Underground root images contain noise, low light, and overlapping structures, necessitating GPT-4’s enhanced visual understanding (e.g., spatial attention mechanisms) for feature extraction.
Multimodal Alignment: Fusion of image data and sensor parameters demands GPT-4’s superior cross-modal alignment capabilities to reduce semantic gaps compared to GPT-3.5.
Real-Time Decision Requirements: Vertical farms require millisecond-level responses; GPT-4’s optimized inference speed meets dynamic control conditions. Publicly available GPT-3.5 lacks adaptability to agricultural terminology and root datasets, and its fine-tuning flexibility is limited. GPT-4 enables customized prompt engineering and domain knowledge embedding, ensuring outputs align with agronomic constraints.
