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.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a software service allows software providers to implement machine learning (ML) features into products offered by the software providers. Each ML feature may be referred to as an encapsulated ML application, which may be defined and maintained in a central repository, while also being provisioned for each user of the software provider on an as-needed basis. Advantageously, embodiments allow for a central definition for an ML application that encapsulates data science and processing capabilities and routines of the software provider. This central ML application delivers a ML deployment pipeline template that may be replicated multiple times as separate, tailored runtime pipeline instances on a per-user basis. Each runtime pipeline instance accounts for differences in the specific data of each user, resulting in user-specific ML models and predictions based on the same central ML application.
