Configurable Multi-Stage Vision Pipeline for Crop Disease and Pest Diagnosis

The paper presents a configurable multi‑stage vision pipeline for Farmer.Chat, a farm advisory service that processes farmer‑submitted crop photos. It splits the task into a quality gate, a crop detector, and a disease/pest detector, offering two routes: a single fine‑tuned vision‑language model and a set of small specialist models. The new pipeline improves crop accuracy to 95.41% and provides a fast MobileNetV3 quality gate, while retaining the ability to request better photos and answer all queries in one call.

FedXCrop: Privacy-Preserving Crop Disease Detection via Federated Learning with Post-Aggregation Explainability under Non-IID Farm Distributions

FedXCrop is a federated learning pipeline for crop disease classification that preserves farmer privacy while providing post‑aggregation explainability. The system uses a MobileNetV2 model and achieves near‑centralized accuracy (98.81%–99.38%) across five clients, even under non‑IID label skew. Grad‑CAM and SmoothGrad explanations are quantitatively evaluated, showing that federated models largely retain explainability characteristics of centralized models, though agreement decreases with increased heterogeneity.

Agentic Explainable Artificial Intelligence (Agentic XAI) Approach To Explore Better Explanation: A Case Study in Decision Support for Rice Cultivation in Japan

arXiv:2512. 21066v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) reveals how explanatory variables relate to a response variable, yet communicating XAI outputs to laypersons remains difficult, limiting trust in AI-based predictions.
