Symbolic Regression enhances AI for predicting pig farrowing times

Researchers are exploring the use of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for precision livestock farming, specifically to predict farrowing time in pigs. The study utilized acceleration sensor data from sows and employed symbolic regression, an interpretable modeling technique, to forecast the remaining time until farrowing. This approach achieved a mean absolute error of 9.28 hours, outperforming traditional 'closed-box' models like support vector regression and artificial neural networks in both performance and interpretability. AI

IMPACT Symbolic regression offers a more interpretable alternative to traditional models for time-sensitive agricultural predictions.
