Secure and Collaborative Crop Disease Prediction with Federated eep Learning: Safeguarding Data Sovereignty in Agriculture Sadananda Behera, Neelamadhab Padhy, Rasmita Panigrahi, Pradeep Kumar Mahapatro, Dasaradha Arangi Artificial Intelligence in Context of Digital Sovereignty Series Digital Sovereignty and Human Centric AI, 2026 Sustainable agriculture is no longer a buzzword but is a necessity. Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly increasing and transforming agriculture, especially in areas like early crop disease detection and prediction. These technology-driven prediction and detections helps in prevention, early identification, and data-driven decision making, and help farmers boost yields, reduce losses, which are the key factors in achieving long-term agricultural sustainability. However, many of these traditional AI systems depend on centralized data collection, often requiring farmers and institutions to share sensitive, localized agrarian data. This raises critical concerns about digital data privacy, ownership, and sovereignty. In the context of agriculture, where data is mainly tied to local practices, regional biodiversity, and a mix of small and large farmers with different economic backgrounds, maintaining strict data confidentiality is essential. In this context, Federated Learning (FL) provides a promising solution. Instead of pooling data in a single location, FL allows AI models to be trained directly on local devices or servers, keeping the raw data with the farmers. Our approach uses the power of deep learning with the privacy-preserving nature of federated systems in a secure environment where IoT sensor data is used to train the model locally, and the model is suitable to be deployed in a resource-constrained environment to predict crop diseases. We use a subset of the PlantVillage dataset to compare the predictive performance of centralized Deep Learning (ResNet-50) with Federated Learning algorithms such as FedAvg, FedProx, and FedBN. Our findings reveal that, whereas centralized models obtain the maximum accuracy (98.7%), federated models, notably FedBN, provide a convincing trade-off with 97.1% accuracy and only 40 communication rounds, ensuring data privacy without significantly sacrificing performance. The statistical study shows no significant difference in prediction accuracy (p > 0.05) between centralized and federated models.
Does Sampling Improve the Precision-Recall Trade-off in Fraud Detection Systems? An Empirical Study Using Ensemble Machine Learning Models Chandra Sekhar Dash, Neelamadhab Padhy, Rasmita Panigrahi, Asish Kumar Patnaik, Pradeep Kumar Mahapatro, Dasaradha Arangi Esic 2026 Proceedings 6th International Conference on Emerging Systems and Intelligent Computing, 2026 Background: Fraud detection is a key difficulty in financial and digital systems, due to the huge imbalance in nature. This study presented the machine learning models to early predict and improve the fraud detection so that the performance of fraud detection is improved. Objective: This study employed the three data sampling techniques to understand the behaviour and the transactional attributes, such as i) no sampling, (ii) Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE), and (iii) SMOTETomek hybrid sampling. Apart from these, we also conducted the experimental work where the five machine learning models (AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting, RandomForest (weighted and balanced variants), EasyEnsemble, and ExtraTrees) were used to detect and identify the fraudulent behaviour in the transactional dataset. Result: From our experimental observation, we found AdaBoost performed well in comparison to the others, with the highest AUC-ROC of 0.8881 on the original dataset. The results reveal that balanced tree-based models demonstrated superior stability, especially under hybrid sampling, with ExtraTrees achieving perfect cross-validation consistency (CV_AUC =1.0). SMOTETomek provided cleaner class separation and improved reliability compared to SMOTE. Overall, the findings emphasize the need to combine ensemble learning with robust augmentation strategies to combat excessive class imbalance, providing an effective strategy for enhancing fraud detection systems in realworld applications.
Crop Yield Prediction using Federated Learning: A Privacy-Preserving Approach for Decentralized Agriculture Data Satyajit Pujapanda, Sriya Mishra, Debasish Mahapatra, Gyanendra Sahoo, Neelamadhab Padhy, Pradeep Kumar Mahapatro Esic 2026 Proceedings 6th International Conference on Emerging Systems and Intelligent Computing, 2026 Food security and economic growth of the world depend on agriculture. It is also significant to anticipate rich crops well since this will bring good management and favourable allocation of resources. It is a prerequisite in all the classic practices of machine learning approaches that all data be gathered together in one place. The storage gives rise to problems such as a lack of privacy and sharing of huge data sets, especially in instances where data is harvested at varying locations. That is the issue that the present paper attempts to address with the help of Federated Learning (FL). This method gives farmers the ability to create a model of machine learning without the need to disclose their data. We developed and tested the project on real data in Python and TensorFlow. These findings indicated that FL could be used as an alternative to conventional methods, and it is best suited to agriculture.
Optimizing Crop Recommendation through Stacking and Feature Analysis of Ensemble Classifiers Pradeep Kumar Mahapatro, Rasmita Panigrahi, Neelamadhab Padhy Esic 2025 5th International Conference on Emerging Systems and Intelligent Computing Proceedings, 2025 Farming is the source to increase agricultural productivity. Modern precision farming depends on a crop recommendation system which is used by some data-driven methods to predict a suitable crop based on the environmental conditions. To improve the accuracy of forecasting the model combines feature analysis with stacking ensemble approaches. This model also integrates with random forest (RF), gradient boosting, and XGboost. Selecting feature analysis techniques, the model assesses parameters like soil type, temperature, rainfall, and pH level. Based on soil and climate conditions the stacked model provides reliable suggestions to the farmer in making decisions for environmentally friendly farming. The main objective of this paper is to optimize the crop based on the stacking Regressor as well as the ensemble classifier. Nine machine learning classifiers are used to achieve it but among all RF classifiers outperform i.e. accuracy of 0.995455, precision of 0.995671, and recall of 0.995455. Apart from these we also used the filter-based selection (correlation) and wrapper-based selection (RFE) to provide top models for crop recommendation. The top 3 performers (Random Forest, Extra Trees, and XGBoost) are used to make an ensemble for optimizing the crop.

Its main objective is to guide the users about their day-to-day life activities by tracking the past habits that are creating an impact on the environment. The EIT is an efficient application that uses advanced machine learning algorithms such as SVMs, Random Forest Regression, and various classification techniques to analyze and interpret the data. It is found that data SVM performed well and got the accuracy 94.10 %. EIT helps the users proactively organize their behavior to minimize the negative impact on the environment. The EIT is a technological innovation that can be harnessed to promote sustainability and environmental impacts.
Cartpole Balancer Using Deep Q-Network Pradeep Kumar Mahapatro, Pasina Yaswanth, Challa Meghana, Tamada Rushanth, Peddinti Somesh 4th Wireless Antenna and Microwave Symposium Wams 2025, 2025 In this paper, we purely focused on the algorithm called Deep Q-Network (DQN) to solve CartPole environment, a classic reinforcement learning task. The goal of the Cartpole task is to balance the pole on a moving cart by applying the sequences of left or right forces. In traditional approaches, such as Manual Rule-Based Controller, Random Agent Method and many are there which are struggling to deal with the complexity of this task. In contrast, DQN leverages deep learning to approximate the optimal action-value function, enabling the agent to learn a policy that maximizes cumulative reward through interactions with environment. This project implements DQN algorithm, training a deep neural network to predict Q-values for the different state-action pairs. Through iterative updates and experience replay, the agent learns to maintain the pole in an upright position for extended periods. The performance of the DQN agent is evaluated based on its ability to achieve and maintain balance, demonstrating the effectiveness of deep reinforcement learning in complex control tasks.
