  • Patent number: 11776071
    Abstract: A crop prediction system performs various machine learning operations to predict crop production and to identify a set of farming operations that, if performed, optimize crop production. The crop prediction system uses crop prediction models trained using various machine learning operations based on geographic and agronomic information. Responsive to receiving a request from a grower, the crop prediction system can access information representation of a portion of land corresponding to the request, such as the location of the land and corresponding weather conditions and soil composition. The crop prediction system applies one or more crop prediction models to the access information to predict a crop production and identify an optimized set of farming operations for the grower to perform.

  • Patent number: 11763551
    Abstract: An authentication engine, residing at one or more computing machines, receives, from a vision device comprising one or more cameras, a probe image. The authentication engine generates, using a trained facial classification neural engine, one or more first labels for a person depicted in the probe image and a probability for at least one of the one or more first labels. The authentication engine determines that the probability is within a predefined low accuracy range. The authentication engine generates, using a supporting engine, a second label for the person depicted in the probe image. The supporting engine operates independently of the trained facial classification neural engine. The authentication engine further trains the facial classification neural engine based on the second label.
