Enhancing Deep Learning Model Performance through Data Generation Strategies: Classification of Olive Tree Diseases

The paper proposes a comprehensive data generation strategy to improve deep learning performance in classifying olive tree diseases. It combines traditional augmentation, CutMix, MixUp, and DCGAN-generated synthetic images to address data scarcity and class imbalance. Experiments with EfficientNetV2B0 show significant accuracy gains across three distribution scenarios, underscoring the importance of data diversity and balance.

A Dataset-Centric Benchmark of Deep Learning Methods for Grape Leaf Disease Classification and Detection

The paper introduces a dataset‑centric benchmark for deep learning approaches to grape leaf disease classification and detection. It evaluates publicly available datasets on disease categories, annotations, acquisition conditions, and class distributions, and tests representative models across image‑level classification, region‑level classification, and object detection. Results reveal high accuracy on controlled datasets but significant performance drops on heterogeneous, real‑world data, especially in cross‑dataset transfer and object detection tasks.

Enhancing Cross-Grade Generalization in Banana Variety Classification via Hybrid CNN-Transformers and Knowledge Self-Distillation

The paper introduces a dual‑stream Swin ResNet hybrid architecture that combines CNN and Transformer streams for cross‑grade banana variety classification. It employs KL‑divergence‑based self‑distillation to align the probabilistic outputs of the two streams, achieving a mean accuracy of 81.25% on a dataset of 31,678 images across three varieties and three quality grades. Experiments show the hybrid model outperforms both CNN and Transformer baselines, improving feature transferability, attention localization, and optimization stability.
