A Multiple-Input Neural Network Model for Predicting Cotton Production Quantity: A Case Study

Abstract: Cotton constitutes a significant commercial crop and a widely traded commodity around the world. The accurate prediction of its yield quantity could lead to high economic benefits for farmers as well as for the rural national economy. In this research, we propose a multiple-input neural network model for the prediction of cotton’s production. The proposed model utilizes as inputs three different kinds of data (soil data, cultivation management data, and yield management data) which are treated and handled inde… Show more

“…Particularly, we used the six PCs sets (computed by the GRM of each marker set) as six inputs feeding to the network in different input layers simultaneously. Other works have shown that a multiple input strategy can reduce overfitting and computational cost while at the same time exploits mixed data improving prediction ( Livieris et al 2020 , Xiong et al 2021 ). Thus, the network accepted six different input layers which independently forwards in six different hidden dense layers.…”

“…While SegNet [127] and Faster R-CNN [16] have been used for optical-MS image segmentation. On the other hand, RNN models (with LSTM or GRU) are usually selected when using temporal data [105], [106].…”

“…In this case, the comparison is categorical and corresponds to whether the fusion strategy shows the best, worst, or inbetween predictive performance. The main outcome is that feature-level fusion has better predictive performance compared with input and decision-level fusion in most of the cases [18], [32], [34]- [36], [58], [86], [101], [104], [105], [133], [200]. Furthermore, based on the analyzed evidence, the feature-level fusion performance stands above the worst performance alternatives.…”

“…Notice that although a traditional deep neural network model is able to analyze and encode any complex function, the convergence of its training process may be degradated due to the number of weights, which exponentially increases as the number of layers increases and due to the vanishing gradient problem, which usually occurs in large networks. In contrast, the significant advantages of the proposed model's architecture is that it provides more flexibility and adaptivity for low computation effort compared to a fully connect neural network with a similar number of layers as well as greater resistance to the vanishing gradient problem, due to its sparse structure [16,20].…”

“…The rationale for the utilization of a multi-input neural network is that these types of models have been originally proposed for more efficiently exploiting mixed data and refers to the case of having multiple types of independent data [14]. In the literature, these models have been successfully applied for addressing a variety of difficult real-world problems reporting promising results while they were found to outperform traditional single output models [14][15][16][17][18]. The main idea behind these models is to extract valuable information from each category of mixed data, independently and then concatenate the information for issuing the final prediction.…”
