Researchers have developed a novel adaptive soft Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) framework designed to improve plant leaf disease classification. This framework integrates three distinct architectures—EfficientNet-B0, DenseNet-121, and Swin-Tiny—to leverage their complementary strengths in capturing local, global, and multi-scale features. A key innovation is the soft gating mechanism, which dynamically assigns weights to each expert based on the input, enhancing the model's ability to handle complex backgrounds, varying illumination, and imbalanced datasets. Experiments demonstrated significant improvements, with the proposed MoE model achieving a 91.68% recall and 92.62% F1-score on a potato leaf disease dataset, outperforming individual experts by over 5%.
