SAGDA: Open-Source Synthetic Agriculture Data for Africa
Data scarcity in African agriculture hampers machine learning (ML) model performance, limiting innovations in precision agriculture. The Synthetic Agriculture Data for Africa (SAGDA) library, a Python-based open-source toolkit, addresses this gap by generating, augmenting, and validating synthetic agricultural datasets. We present SAGDA's design and development practices, highlighting its core functions: generate, model, augment, validate, visualize, optimize, and simulate, as well as their roles in applications of ML for agriculture. Two use cases are detailed: yield prediction enhanced via data augmentation, and multi-objective NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) fertilizer recommendation. We conclude with future plans for expanding SAGDA's capabilities, underscoring the vital role of open-source, data-driven practices for African agriculture.

SAGDA: Achieving $\mathcal{O}(ε^{-2})$ Communication Complexity in Federated Min-Max Learning
To lower the communication complexity of federated min-max learning, a natural approach is to utilize the idea of infrequent communications (through multiple local updates) same as in conventional federated learning. How…
Federated LearningA systematic review of open data in agriculture
In this work, we perform a systematic literature review of Open Data and Public Domain datasets in Agriculture. We use the PRISMA method to analyze the existing academic literature about open data in agriculture, concret…
