Special Projects

Maize Plant Nutrient Deficiency Recognition through Deep Neural Network

A mobile application that uses image processing technology for the detection of maize plants’ health conditions, as well as the diseases and pests of the maize crops was presented on this paper. With the use of machine learning algorithms particularly the deep neural network algorithm as well as the local binary pattern histogram identification and classification of the content of a digital image can be accurate and reliable.

Analysis, Visualization and Interpretation of Determinants of Degree Program selection of the Senior High School Graduates utilizing Classification and Clustering Algorithms

This research paper presents the analysis, visualization, and interpretation of determinants of why the students who graduated from senior high school select a degree program that is not aligned and connected to the specialization they took during senior high school. this research aims to identify the reasons behind their decision in selecting degree programs and aims to eliminate the conundrum behind the said conflicts. analysis was done through the use of python and jupyter notebook, while the visualization and interpretation were done through the use of the classification and clustering algorithm.
