Predicting NH4 Levels for Corn Crop in Wisc

Julia S.

Ammonium (NH4), an organic matter that accumulates in the top portion of soil, can pose a serious risk to biodiversity. Using machine learning to construct regression models, NH4 levels can be predicted and therefore mitigated. In this paper we used linear, ridge, and lasso regressions. Through the evaluation of crop farming factors that contribute to the NH4 levels, it was concluded that NO3 and N2O have the most direct correlation to NH4. These factors yielded the best accuracy for regression models with the best performing model being a multiple feature linear regression which resulted in 60% accuracy. While certain measures did improve the model’s performance, outliers continuously worsened the results.

Prediction of Nitrogen Dioxide Level using Machine Learning Models
As we release more pollution into the atmosphere as factory and vehicle byproducts, acid rains are formed and are constantly damaging the environment and harming wildlives under and above the ocean. If the occurrence of acid rains can't be limited, the phenomenon of this man-made disaster will threaten the health and safety of billions. By predicting the potential development of acid rain with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels, one of the major components of acid rain, we could prevent it by limiting the number of specific gasses produced.

Landfill Net: A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Architecture for the Detection of Landfills from Satellite Imagery in the Continental United States
This project presents a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model that identifies landfills in the U.S. using image data, achieving a 97.1% test accuracy. By supporting the creation of a national landfill database, the model can help detect illegal sites and guide the expansion of methane capture systems to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
