PotatoGANs enhance disease identification using synthetic data and XAI

Researchers have developed a novel data augmentation technique called PotatoGANs to improve the identification and classification of potato diseases. This method utilizes Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to create synthetic images of diseased potatoes, thereby expanding datasets and enhancing model generalization, which traditional augmentation methods struggle with. The study found that CycleGAN produced higher quality synthetic images compared to Pix2Pix, as indicated by Inception Scores. Additionally, the research integrates Explainable AI (XAI) algorithms with various Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures to improve the interpretability of potato disease classification. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and cost-effective methods for disease detection in agriculture, improving crop yields and reducing reliance on manual data collection.
