  • Patent number: 11497156
    Abstract: A memory embodies instructions, and a processor is coupled to the memory and is operative by the instructions to facilitate: accessing a source of information regarding farm cultivation techniques; constructing a cultivation knowledge graph by parsing the source of information regarding farm cultivation techniques, using natural language processing; identifying cultivation quality assessment factors by applying machine learning to the cultivation knowledge graph; estimating quality of a farm cultivation task by comparing a stream of real-time data to the cultivation quality assessment factors, wherein the stream of real-time data is related to performance of the farm cultivation task; identifying from the stream of real-time data, using the cultivation knowledge graph, a controllable variable that affects the quality of the farm cultivation task; and improving the quality of the farm cultivation task by facilitating a change in the controllable variable.

  • Patent number: 11475379
    Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a machine learning system are described. In an example, a device can receive an image and assign a set of pixels in the image as a digital representation of a livestock. The device can further train a machine learning model using the digital representation. The device can further run the machine learning model to generate prediction data relating to the livestock. The device can further generate output data relating to at least one activity among a livestock value chain. The at least one activity can correspond to a process to generate a commodity based on the livestock.

  • Publication number: 20130268582
    Abstract: An example approach is provided for distributing content among user devices while in an offline mode. In the approach, a distributing/requesting module causes determination of one or more requests from at least one requesting device for one or more content items associated with at least one distributing device, wherein the one or more requests are determined using local connectivity between the at least one requesting device and the at least one distributing device. Further, distributing/requesting module causes an exchange, a storage, or a combination thereof of transactional information associated with the one or more requests, a delivery of the one or more content items, or a combination thereof of in an offline mode. Furthermore, the distributing/requesting module causes a transmission of the transactional information to at least one server when in an online mode.
