The paper introduces KAINN, a hybrid neural‑mechanistic model that augments the Agriculture‑informed Neural Network with domain knowledge on fertilizer diffusion, soil respiration, and water‑filled porosity to predict nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture. Experiments across CNN, LSTM, and Transformer architectures show that KAINN achieves lower root mean square error, lower mean absolute error, and higher R-squared values compared to purely data‑driven models and the original AINN. The learned interfaces exhibit smoother, more physically consistent parameter trajectories with reduced uncertainty.

arXiv:2506. 03168v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Amid the challenges posed by global population growth and climate change, traditional agricultural Internet of Things (IoT) systems is currently undergoing a significant digital transformation to facilitate efficient big data processing.
The tutorial titled "Deep Learning for Sequential Decision Making under Uncertainty: Foundations, Frameworks, and Frontiers" explores how modern deep learning techniques—such as neural networks, transformers, large language models, and deep reinforcement learning—can be integrated with operations research and management science to address complex, uncertain, and dynamic decision problems. It argues that deep learning should complement, not replace, optimization, offering adaptability and scalable approximation while OR/MS provides rigorous constraint and uncertainty modeling. The tutorial organizes the field around predict‑then‑optimize, decision‑aware learning, constraint‑aware decision generation, and deep reinforcement learning, and highlights applications across supply chains, healthcare, energy, and autonomous systems.
The paper evaluates the new YOLO26 architecture, which offers NMS-free end-to-end inference and is tailored for CPU-based edge devices, against three earlier Ultralytics models (YOLOv5u, YOLOv8, and YOLO11) in aquaculture fish mortality detection. Across nano, small, and medium scales, all models achieved similar detection accuracy on a full dataset, but differences emerged in data efficiency and deployment performance: YOLOv8 reached 90% mAP50 with only 400 images, while YOLO26 variants needed 1,000 images; YOLO26n was fastest on a Raspberry Pi 5 (7.51 FPS), whereas YOLOv5mu led on CPU-based hardware. The study concludes that architectural novelty alone does not dictate suitability for edge AI in aquaculture; training data size, target hardware, and inference needs must be jointly considered.
