PREDICTION OF RANKING OF LOTS OF CORN SEEDS BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Abstract

ABSTRACT The seed sector faces several challenges when it comes to ensuring a quick and accurate decision making when working with large amounts of data on physiological quality of seed lots, which makes the process time-consuming and inefficient. Thus, artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a new technological option in the seed sector to solve database problems in the post-harvest stages. This study aims to use machine learning to classify maize seed lots. Data were obtained from eight maize seed crops from a private company. These data were mined using the following classifiers: J48 (DecisionTree), RandomForest, CVR (ClassificationViaRegression ) , lBk (lazy.IBK), MLP (MultiLayerPercepton), and NäiveBayes. Cross-validation was used for data measurement, with the data set, including training and testing data, being divided into 10 subsets. The described steps were performed using the Weka software. It is concluded that results obtained allow the classification of maize seed lots with high accuracy and precision, and these algorithms can better classify the maize seed lot through vigor attributes, thus enabling more accurate decision making based on vigor tests on a reduced evaluation time.
