◦ Agricultural LLM: Developed Large Language Model (LLM) for precise agricultural recommendations using expert-verified data on 90 species. Implemented Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with 82% recall and 65% precision. Integrated multi-LLM support for enhanced performance. (AgLLMs.github.io)◦ LLM Evaluation: Developed 12-task agricultural benchmark to evaluate multimodal LLMs (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, and LLaVA). Established baseline metrics, achieving up to 73.37% F1 score with few-shot learning. (AgLLMs.github.io/AgEval)◦ 3D Plant Modeling: Evaluated Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) for detailed 3D plant reconstruction in various environments. Achieved 74.6% accuracy in challenging outdoor scenarios, demonstrating NeRFs’ potential for complex modeling. Developed optimization technique reducing training time by 50% with minimal accuracy loss of 7.4%.
