Advancing heat stress detection in dairy cows through machine learning and computer vision
Heat stress detection in dairy cows has long been connected with production loss. However, the reduction in milk yield lags behind the exposure to heat stress events for about two days. Other stress responses, such as physiological and behavioural changes, are…
Comparative analysis of the efficacy of machine learning models in detecting cancer from medical imagery: a thesis in Computer Science
According to a study performed by John Hopkins Medicine in 2023, misdiagnoses make up approximately 11.1% of total diagnoses in the United States, which result in anything from minor to fatal error for the patient. One of the main contributors to this unfortun…
