This challenge focuses on leveraging machine learning to predict rice and wheat crop yields per acre in India, with the aim of empowering smallholder farmers and addressing issues of poverty and malnutrition. The data collected by Digital Green through surveys provides insights into farming practices, environmental conditions, and crop yields. The ultimate goal is to revolutionize Indian agriculture, offer a global model for smallholder farmers, and contribute to sustainable farming practices amid climate change, thereby advancing global food security.
This project was made possible by our compute partners 2CRSi and NVIDIA.
The score of the challenge was the RMSE.
Our solution was the best one (out of 678 teams) with a RMSE equal to 100.3610312 π.
The podium:
π₯ RosIA - 100.3610312
π₯ ihar - 100.6819477
π₯ belkasanek - 102.4325999
We used GReaT LLM (GPT-2) implementation to generate new observations and impute missing values.
Here is how this proposed method works to create and impute data:
python src/models/train_model.py --estimator_name <estimator_name> --task <task> --nb_agents <nb_agents>
