Abstract: The invention provides a plant cultivation system and a method of cultivating plants. The system includes plant sensors in the form of image sensors, arranged to capture digital plant images; processing hardware including a processor, a data storage facility in communication with the processor and input/output interfaces connectable to the plant sensors and in communication with the processor, the hardware being configured to implement a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained from a library of plant images to recognize predefined plant conditions from the digital plant images captured by the image sensors and to provide a matching score of a plant image when compared to the predefined plant conditions with which the CNN has been trained; and a reference library containing treatment regimes associated with predefined plant conditions, the output interface of the processing hardware arranged to present the predefined plant condition and associated treatment regime to a user.

Abstract: An association system including hardware including at least one processor, a data storage facility in communication with the processor and I/O interfaces in communication with the processor, the system being configured to receive a name of a person/entity of interest via an input interface; retrieve top keywords associated with the name of the person/entity of interest from a database of Internet data and represent the keywords by word embedding; compare the top keywords with a list of keywords for which the relevance of the person/entity of interest is to be determined; determine the inner product between each of the retained top keywords and the word embedding of the name of the person/entity of interest; and present the inner product of each of the retained top keywords at an output interface of the association system.

Abstract: A method of allocating a score to a subject's Internet presence, the method including receiving search terms of a subject whose Internet presence is to be scored, conducting Internet searches using the search parameters, assessing the preliminary search results to confirm that the preliminary search results exceed a predefined minimum match threshold with the search terms, compiling final search results from the preliminary search results that exceeds the predefined minimum match threshold, compiling the final search results in a structured database, assessing the text of the final search results in the structured database in relation to a set of predefined assessment criteria, allocating a score to each element in the set of predefined assessment criteria according to a predefined scoring scheme and compiling a final score of a subject's presence on websites by collating the scores of each of the elements in the set of predefined assessment criteria.
