The paper introduces a new framework for predicting grapevine cold hardiness that learns transferable latent representations capturing region-specific variation. By inferring embeddings from cultivar descriptions, growing region text, and limited historical data, the method supports zero‑shot and few‑shot transfer to unseen regions. Experiments across six North American regions show that this approach outperforms existing models, delivering more accurate predictions and better performance in data‑scarce areas.

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.
