5.1 Ideas

How might you use the power of AI/machine learning to solve the users’ problem by increasing their
knowledge or improving their skills?

AI Idea #1 Recommendation Systems: AI-driven recommendations can suggest relevant

courses, articles, or resources to users based on their interests and progress.

AI Idea #2 Content Creation: AI-generated content can provide users with new insights,
summaries, or explanations on various topics.

AI Idea #3 Personalized Learning: AI can create customized learning paths for users, adapting
to their pace and level of understanding.

AI Idea #4 Predictive Analytics: AI can analyze user behavior to predict areas where they may
need additional learning or resources.

AI Idea #5 Accessibility: AI can make learning more accessible through text-to-speech,

language translation, and other assistive technologies.

7. Data

7.1 What data will you need to train your AI solution?

~ Image Data: High-resolution images of plants, leaves, or affected parts of the plant. These images
should cover a wide range of plant species and various stages of disease progression.

~ Annotations: Labels indicating whether each image contains a healthy plant or one with a specific
disease. Precise annotations are crucial for supervised learning.

~ Metadata: Information about the plant species, location, climate conditions, and growth stage at the
time the images were captured. This metadata helps contextualize the data.

~ Environmental Data: Weather data (e.g., temperature, humidity, rainfall) at the time of image capture,
as environmental conditions can influence disease development.

~ Historical Data: Historical disease outbreak data to identify trends and patterns over time.

~ Data from Multiple Sources: Diverse sources of data to account for variations in lighting, camera
quality, and environmental conditions.
