In the dynamic realm of digital agriculture, the integration of big data acquisition platforms has sparked both curiosity and enthusiasm among researchers and agricultural practitioners. This book embarks on a journey to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and agriculture, focusing on small-unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), edge-AI sensors and the profound impact they have on digital agriculture, particularly in the context of heterogeneous crops, such as walnuts, pomegranates, cotton, etc. For example, lightweight sensors mounted on UAVs, including multispectral and thermal infrared cameras, serve as invaluable tools for capturing high-resolution images. Their enhanced temporal and spatial resolutions, coupled with cost effectiveness and near-real-time data acquisition, position UAVs as an optimal platform for mapping and monitoring crop variability in vast expanses. This combination of data acquisition platforms and advanced analytics generates substantial datasets, necessitating a deep understanding of fractional-order thinking, which is imperative due to the inherent “complexity” and consequent variability within the agricultural process. Much optimism is vested in the field of artificial intelligence, such as machine learning (ML) and computer vision (CV), where the efficient utilization of big data to make it “smart” is of paramount importance in agricultural research. Central to this learning process lies the intricate relationship between plant physiology and optimization methods. The key to the learning process is the plant physiology and optimization method. Crafting an efficient optimization method raises three pivotal questions: 1.) What represents the best approach to optimization? 2.) How can we achieve a more optimal optimization? 3.) Is it possible to demand “more optimal machine learning,” exemplified by deep learning, while minimizing the need for extensive labeled data for digital agriculture?

Data science is a multi-disciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured (labelled) and unstructured (unlabelled) data. It is the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the necessity of future to make things easier and more productive. In simple terms, Data science is the discovery of data or uncovering hidden patterns (like complex behaviors, trends, and inferences) from data. Moreover, Big Data Analytics/Data Analytics are the analysis mechanism used in Data Science by Data Scientist. Several tools like Hadoop, R, etc., are being used to analyse this large amount of data that can be used in predicting the valuable information/ making decisions. Note that structured data can be easily analysed by efficient (available) business intelligence tools, while most of the data (80% of data by 2020) is in unstructured form that requires advanced analytics tools. But while analysing, we face several concerns like complexity, scalability, privacy leaking and trust issues. Data science helps us in extracting meaningful information (or insights) from the unstructured or complex or large amount of data (available or stored around us virtually at cloud).

Artificial intelligence (AI) and its applications have risen to prominence as one of the most active study areas in recent years. In recent years, a rising number of AI applications have been applied in a variety of areas. Agriculture, transportation, medicine, and health are all being transformed by AI technology. The Internet of Things (IoT) market is thriving, having a significant impact on a wide variety of industries and applications, including e-health care, smart cities, smart transportation, and industrial engineering. Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques have reshaped various aspects of artificial vision, considerably improving the state of the art for artificial vision systems across a broad range of high-level tasks. As a result, several innovations and studies are being conducted to improve the performance and productivity of IoT devices across multiple industries using machine learning and artificial intelligence. Security is a primary consideration when analyzing the next generation communication network due to the rapid advancement of technology. Additionally, data analytics, deep intelligence, deep learning, cloud computing, and intelligent solutions are being employed in medical, agricultural, industrial, and health care systems that are based on the Internet of Things. This book will look at cutting-edge Network Attacks and Security solutions that employ intelligent data processing and Machine Learning (ML) methods.

Data is everywhere and it’s growing at an unprecedented rate. But making sense of all that data is a challenge. Data Mining is the process of discovering patterns and knowledge from large data sets, and Data Mining with Python focuses on the hands-on approach to learning Data Mining. It showcases how to use Python Packages to fulfill the Data Mining pipeline, which is to collect, integrate, manipulate, clean, process, organize, and analyze data for knowledge. The contents are organized based on the Data Mining pipeline, so readers can naturally progress step by step through the process. Topics, methods, and tools are explained in three aspects: “What it is” as a theoretical background, “why we need it” as an application orientation, and “how we do it” as a case study. This book is designed to give students, data scientists, and business analysts an understanding of Data Mining concepts in an applicable way. Through interactive tutorials that can be run, modified, and used for a more comprehensive learning experience, this book will help its readers to gain practical skills to implement Data Mining techniques in their work.
