Abstract: One or more information maps are obtained by an agricultural work machine. The one or more information maps map one or more agricultural characteristic values at different geographic locations of a field. An in-situ sensor on the agricultural work machine senses an agricultural characteristic as the agricultural work machine moves through the field. A predictive map generator generates a predictive map that predicts a predictive agricultural characteristic at different locations in the field based on a relationship between the values in the one or more information maps and the agricultural characteristic sensed by the in-situ sensor. The predictive map can be output and used in automated machine control.

Abstract: Implementations are described herein for incorporating unstructured data into machine learning-based phenotyping. In various implementations, natural language textual snippet(s) may be obtained. Each natural language textual snippet may describe environmental or managerial features of an agricultural plot that exist during a crop cycle. A sequence-to-sequence machine learning model may be used to encode the natural language snippet(s) into embedding(s) in embedding space. The embedding(s) may semantically represent the environmental or managerial features of the agricultural plot. Using one or more phenotypic machine learning models, phenotypic prediction(s) may be generated about the agricultural plot based on the one or more semantic embeddings and additional structured data about the agricultural plot. Output may be provided at one or more computing devices that is based on one or more of the phenotypic predictions.
