Enhancing Decision Support in Crop Production: Analyzing Conformal Prediction for Uncertainty Quantification

M. Farag, A. Emam, J. Leonhardt, R. Roscher
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 237, Part B, 110559 IF: 8.9 · Q1
This paper investigates conformal prediction as a framework for uncertainty quantification in crop production systems. We analyze how conformal prediction can enhance decision support by providing reliable prediction sets with coverage guarantees, comparing it against established uncertainty methods across various agricultural monitoring tasks.

Confident Naturalness Explanation (CNE): A Framework to Explain and Assess Patterns Forming Naturalness

A. Emam, M. Farag, R. Roscher
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters IF: 4.0 · Q1
We propose the Confident Naturalness Explanation (CNE) framework that combines explainability methods with uncertainty-aware confidence measures to explain and assess the patterns that form naturalness in remote sensing imagery. The framework bridges the gap between model interpretability and ecological assessment.

Inductive Conformal Prediction for Harvest-Readiness Classification of Cauliflower Plants: A Comparative Study of Uncertainty Quantification Methods

M. Farag, J. Kierdorf, R. Roscher
ICCV 2023 Workshops, pp. 651–659
We present a comparative study of uncertainty quantification methods for harvest-readiness classification in cauliflower plants. Our evaluation focuses on inductive conformal prediction, comparing its calibration properties, computational efficiency, and coverage guarantees against ensemble-based and Bayesian uncertainty methods.

Automatic Severity Classification of Diabetic Retinopathy Based on DenseNet and Convolutional Block Attention Module

M. M. Farag, M. Fouad, A. T. Abdel-Hamid
IEEE Access, vol. 10 IF: 3.6
This paper proposes an automatic severity classification system for diabetic retinopathy using DenseNet enhanced with Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM). The attention mechanism improves the network's ability to focus on relevant retinal features, achieving competitive classification accuracy across multiple severity levels.
