Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically allocating test protocols to a plurality of test locations. Once such method includes a computing device executing a first stage machine learning prediction model (MLPM) based on protocol data for multiple test protocols for a test experiment to generate a first stage output. The first stage MLPM is trained based on historical allocation data for one or more prior test experiments. Multiple test sets are associated with the test protocols, and the first stage output includes, for multiple test locations, allocation prediction scores for the test protocols. Based on the first stage output, the computing device executes a second stage optimization model to generate a second stage output. The second stage output includes an allocation plan for the test protocols. The allocation plan identifies one or more of the test locations for each of the test protocols.

Abstract: A routing processor implements a multi-stage prescriptive routing model engine based on harvest input data relating to the harvesting of crops at a plurality of locations by a plurality of combines and based on a harvest characteristic representing an attribute of the crops to be harvested by the combines. The multi-stage prescriptive routing model engine generates a combine routing program prescribing the movement of each combine between the locations and includes a demand stage configured to identify combine harvesting demand as a function of the harvest input data and the harvest characteristic and a scheduling stage configured to generate the combine routing program as a function of the harvesting demand.

Abstract: Systems and methods for use in identifying weights to be employed in a selection algorithm associated with plant advancement are disclosed. One example method includes identifying a start set of weights for a selection algorithm associated with a breeding program, and for each scale parameter value in a schedule, and for each of N iterations, modifying the start set of weights based on the scale parameter value, identifying a set of germplasm based on at least the modified set of weights, advancing the modified set of weights to a next iteration as the start set of weights when certain criteria are satisfied, and identifying the modified set of weights as an output when the iteration is equal to N.
