title: Machine learning techniques in disease forecasting: a case study on rice blast prediction. creator: Kaundal, Rakesh creator: Kapoor, Amar S creator: Raghava, G.P.S. subject: QR Microbiology description: Our case study demonstrated that SVM is better than existing machine learning techniques and conventional REG approaches in forecasting plant diseases. In this direction, we have also developed a SVM-based web server for rice blast prediction, a first of its kind worldwide, which can help the plant science community and farmers in their decision making process.
