Progress 09/01/20 to 08/31/21
Outputs
Target Audience:Research in AIFARMS has been disseminated to various target audiences;we have published several papers in peer reviewed journals and made presentations at professional meetings attended by other academic scientists. Through their engagement in AIFARMS research, undergraduate and graduate students as well as postdoctoral fellows are receiving training. AIFARMS team has also been reaching farmers, Extension agents and industry through podcasts, demonstrations and field days. We have also targeted the public as an audience for our activities through appearances on the local TV and at the Farm Progress Show. We are collaborating with several companies with an interest in our research to demonstrate and test practical applications and adapt our approaches to meet their needs. Changes/Problems:COVID-19 has strongly affected our capacity to meet in person. This inconvenience was quickly though partially overcome by regular online meetings within and between Thrusts, as well as between institutions and leadership teams. This problem also affected our ability to hold farmer surveys and focus groups that are important for the Technology Adoption research in Thrust 5, with only one small focus group possible in Year 1 and effectively delaying additional activities to Year 2. Also, as a result of COVID-19, students and staff could not travel together in one car. We mitigated this inconvenience by adding additional cars such that personnel could maintain social distancing. COVID-19 also prevented us from organizing our annual AIFARMS conference in the first year. Rather than organize a virtual meeting, we decided to cancel the event and hope to organize one in the middle or end of Year 2. The Advisory Board meeting and the NIFA and NSF funding agency reviews were originally intended to occur in person in conjunction with the annual conference, but were instead organized as virtual events via videoconference. COVID-19 has also affected the capacity to order and deliver instrumentation in times when needed (e.g. sensors in soil thrust). Alternative strategies were implemented by collecting data from other sources/type of sensors (e.g. drones collecting data on plant reflectance for nutrient content to compensate the lack of soil sensors). Another significant delay caused by the pandemic has been in hiring. The University of Illinois imposed a broad hiring freeze for many months in 2020, preventing or delaying the hiring of key staff members, including the Executive Director and the Assistant Director for Education and Outreach(both searches are well under way, and we expect them to complete soon). As for things to improve, we aim to have a stronger integration between Thrusts and between AI and crop modeling tools as data collection progresses. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?In addition to the items illustrated in various Thrust Reports and the "Products" and "Other Products" sections, we would like to highlight the following opportunities provided by AIFARMS: Students and post-docs: Thirty-six (36) students and post-doctoral scientists work on AIFARMS projects. This includes nine (9) undergraduate students and five (5) post-doctoral scientists or visiting scholars. These students and post-docs are spread out across all of the AIFARMS thrusts and they are closely interactingin multidisciplinary fashion with AIFARM's soil scientists, plant scientists, animal scientists, computer scientists and sensor engineers. Post-docs and students are gaining valuable field experience (on farms or at animal facilities), and computer science students/post-docs have begun closely interacting with subject matter experts in soil science,animal science,genomics, andagronomy. Tenure-track faculty and senior researchers: Of the 42 senior researchers working at AIFARMS, 37 are tenure-track faculty or other senior researchers, spread out across the six thrusts. There is strong interaction among the tenure track faculty from disparate areas--soil science, animal science, computer sciences as joint projects have begun. This has enabled a new degree of necessary interdisciplinarity to help researchers involved in agriculture going forward. REU and undergraduate internships: In addition to post-graduate and graduate research, AIFARMS is also actively involved in the training of undergraduates. For instance, there were tenREU undergraduate interns embedded within AIFARMS projects. These tenstudents were all fully supported for two months during their summer internships, and participated in a number of AI+Agriculture research activities. They were also mentored in a wide range of career development goals, including the graduate school application process. Monthly seminars: Information is also disseminated via monthly seminars across AIFARMS and individual thrust meetings which are held weekly or once-in two weeks for each thrust. These thrust meetings are often attended by students and post-docs who gain valuable experience in the running of complicated, multi-faceted projects. Outreach: Outreach impacts training and professional development in both directions. This year there have been several outreach efforts with AIFARMS researchers participating in farmer focus groups, livestock farm visits, and related events. These interactions have helped the training of farmers to techniques developed by AIFARMS researchers and helped AIFARMS researchers' professional development from insights gained from non-academic customer environments. Joint research with industry:Research and serious technical interaction begun with Microsoft researchers, Windy City Labs engineers, and Terramar engineers has helped the professional development of AIFARMS members. Recruiting diverse students: We are working through the National Society of Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS), to which TU and the University of Illinoishave strong affiliations, including the President-Elect who is a member of the AIFARMS leadership team. MANRRS will serve as a source of recruiting students for the project as well as provide social support and professional development opportunities for said participants. A subset of AIFARMS RA positions, with support from industry partners, will be dedicated to support those with Excluded Identities. iCAN program: This outreach program will address both the talent gap in tech and the underrepresentation of these groups in CS by providing foundational training in CS to agriculture students without said training at Illinois and partner institutions interested in professional development or obtaining a graduate degree in the Digital Agriculture program, thus bringing more students with agriculture backgrounds into computing. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results have been disseminated to academic communities of interest through conference presentations and publications in a broad range of disciplinary and cross-disciplinary venues. For example, the researchers on the team have published at least 14 papers in top-tier AI conferences, including NeurIPS, CVPR, ICCV, KDD and others. Research associated with Thrusts 3 and 4 was published in premier journals such as Nature Food and Nature Communications. These interdisciplinary journals have diverse audiences in agricultural sciences, engineering and computer sciences. Other research was published in leading economics journals. A few members of the AIFARMS team gave prestigious keynote presentations at conferences, including at the North American Plant Phenotyping Network (NAPPN) Annual Conference, and at SPLASH 2020, theACM SIGPLAN conference on Systems, Programming, Languages, and Applications: Software for Humanity, a premier conference in programming languages. The AIFARMS team also made external presentations to diverse audiences interested in high performance computing, programming systems, computer vision, digital agriculture, plant phenotyping, data science, robotics, agricultural economics and livestock welfare, amongst others. See the Products section for a list of all publications and presentations. Dr. Bruno Basso (MSU) organized and chaired a workshop for the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine on "Exploring a Dynamic Soil Information System." The aim of the workshop was to examine how soil resources nationally might be dynamically and accurately monitored towardseveral important goals for soil health. The high-level focus of the workshop reflects several of the science and technology priorities identified in the 2016 Framework for a Federal Strategic Plan for Soil Science. A report from this workshop is publicly available (see Products). Dr. Sanmi Koyejo organized and chaired a workshop funded by the NSF HDR TRIPODS program on "Asymptotics and Non-Asymptotics in Control and Reinforcement Learning." This foundational AI research topic is important and highly relevant to AIFARMS because Reinforcement learning (RL) is a highly active area of research, blending ideas and techniques from control, optimization, machine learning, and computer science. In fact, AIFARMS researchers are exploring RL techniques for problems as diverse as controlling autonomous mobile robots and extracting new spectral patterns from large, but underused hyperspectral (phenotyping) data sets. Dr. Alex Schwing co-organized a workshop at CVPR 2021 on "3D Scene Understanding for Vision, Graphics, and Robotics." This foundational AI research area is critical to multiple projects within AIFARMS, a few of which include reconstructing 3D plant structure from images despite extensive occlusion of internal details, recognizing animal behaviors and human-animal interactions in livestock farms, and recognizing the surroundings in autonomous robot navigation in fields. We have also built our internal community within AIFARMS with a monthly seminar series, allowing AIFARMS scientists to present their research to the whole team and to build cooperation during a year when travel was limited. Finally, we reached the agricultural community by participating at the Farm Progress show, the University of Illinois Agronomy Day demonstration and through specific focus groups with growers. For more examples please reference "Products" and "Other Products". What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?In this section, we focus on the broad plans for Year 2 spanning the overall project. AIFARMS has made significant progress in the first year, and we will continue to strive for even more synergy between algorithmic, computational and practical agricultural technology within our Thrusts. Individual academic groups in the different disciplines contained within each Thrust have already begun to interact synergistically in Year 1, despite the limitations imposed on launching a broad new Institute in the midst of the pandemic. As hopefully more interaction becomes possible, we anticipate that the number of productive interactions between teams will increase noticeably in the second year. We also expect our productivity on all goals to accelerate in Year 2 as the project becomes fully staffed. In particular, we anticipate that graduate students newly hired during Year 1 will start to become productive, and that more educational programs will come online as degrees become approved. In our core technology goals, for example the small data problem or computer vision, researchers tend to be extremely busy and new students take some time before they can make significant contributions. In many of the projects requiring physical agricultural research infrastructure, delays are inevitable before the facilities can be fully functional. The core education and infrastructure parts of the project will be leveraged to speed both student training and facility performance. Thus, outputs are expected to increase rapidly over Years 2 and 3. More specifically, the leadership team of AIFARMS has several broad goals for the second year: Providing streamlined and regular scientific meetings and other interaction opportunities: A new monthly Distinguished Lecture Series, co-organized with the Center for Digital Agriculture, will bring in external speakers in a wide range of topics related to AI in digital agriculture. We will continue our regular, internal monthly all-hands team meeting where AIFARMS members present their research. Driving increased interactions between subprojects and even across thrusts: One example is to leverage the FedSSL software framework being developed in subproject 4 of Thrust 1 for more easily training machine learning models in berry picking (subproject 2 of Thrust 1), stomatal conductance in Thrust 3, and video monitoring of pigs in Thrust 4. Another example is expanding the interaction between Thrusts 3 and 4 on soil carbon measurement and prediction. Matchmaking between scientists with complementary expertise to solve specific problems. As one example, we will bring online one or two more subprojects to address newly-identified priorities in agricultural AI research. Encourage more subprojects within the team to make data, software and tools available publicly: Several subprojects are developing data sets (e.g., soils, pig videos) and software tools (e.g., FedSSL for semi-supervised learning, and the AVAT or Animal Video Analysis Tool for annotating videos of livestock), which could hold great value for the broader research community. The leadership, through the Data Management Working Group, will work to facilitate making these data sets and software tools available publicly, likely through the AIFARMS Github account. Ramping up the capacity and usage of our experimental facilities, especially the Illinois Autonomous Farm: Much of the robotics, edge computing, and sensing research takes place on this facility. The growth of IAF in Year 1, together with the new funding sources obtained in the first year, will support an expanded range of synergistic projects, all of which will contribute to strengthening the outcomes and impact from AIFARMS. Obtaining funding to expand and grow the REU program: We aim to support more students in Summer 2022, and hopefully also accommodate students from other BIPOC-serving institutions. All students in the program were fully supported last summer, and the leadership team will pursue funding opportunities to enable such an expansion while supporting all the students next year as well. Organizing in-person meetings and conferences: We anticipate that in-person events will become possible in Year 2, enabling us to organize such events. We are particularly keen to organize our in-person annual conference, after having to cancel that event for Year 1. Such events will enhance the educational experiences of our students as well as the quality of scientific communication within the team. Exploring synergy in the next year between AIFARMS and other large, newly-funded projects at Illinois over the past year: The NSF Center for Research On Programmable Plant Systems (CROPPS) may benefit from the AI, Machine Learning, Autonomous Farming, and Genomics research happening in AIFARMS, and conversely, AIFARMS may benefit from the new directions in plant breeding, programmable plants as sensors, and "Internet of Living Things" (IoLT) goals of CROPPS. The IBM-Illinois Discovery Accelerator Institute addresses a number of research areas with specific overlapping goals, including edge computing, artificial intelligence, carbon accounting, and carbon sequestration.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
In its first year of operation, the AIFARMS Institute has laid a strong foundation for a broad and impactful five-year research program. The Strategic and Implementation Plan describes the vision, the key research, education and outreach thrusts, the organizational structure, and other important planning activities that are key to laying such a foundation. The twentysubprojects within fiveresearch thrusts all bring together AI and agriculture researchers in close collaborative efforts to explore how foundational advances in AI can impact important challenges in agriculture. The Education and Outreach thrust is contributing to important, impactful efforts for inspiring the nextgeneration to explore digital agriculture and to help grow a skilled digital agriculture workforce. A successful in-person REU program gave a number of students hands-on research experience as well as wide-ranging career mentoring. New external research funding sources obtained by team members for closely related and complementary research significantly expands our scope and potential for impact. Multiple new industry engagements launched this year or currently under discussion have the potential to translate technical innovations from the group's research into commercial products. Team members have been invited to speak at many prominent research and education events, and organized several valuable community events. More specifically, the major accomplishments of the AIFARMS Institute in the first year are as follows (a few of the most significant accomplishments are marked with §). Accomplishments in Foundational AI Research We have identified six "foundational AI research challenges," which arise repeatedly in many different domains, including digital agriculture, and each of these impacts several different subprojects within AIFARMS. These foundational challenges are described briefly in the Strategic Plan. During the first year, we have made significant progress on all these six problems. We have also tackled some fundamental challenges in Computer Vision, which is a critical technology in digital agriculture. Our accomplishments in these foundational areas are as follows. Advances on the Small Data Problem: We advanced algorithms for rapid adaptation of neural networks for control with few data points (Havens and Chowdhary, 2021). We also developed datasets and problem formulations for semi-supervised learning for identification of berries and obtained preliminary results. §We developed techniques based on continuous transfer learning, in which we take as input both a static source domain with abundant labeled data, as well as a time-evolving unlabeled target domain, and output a predictive model for the target domain at the current time stamp. Our proposed method is based on a novel label-informed domain discrepancy measure, and it effectively integrates a variational autoencoder for feature extraction. §In another strategy based on "indirect invisible poisoning attacks," we take as input a base algorithm, labeled source data, as well as unlabeled target data, and output poisoned data for the source domain that degrades the predictive performance on the target domain. Our proposed method is based on bi-level optimization, where the objective function uses the label-informed domain discrepancy in the source domain. Foundational Advances in Computer Vision: Novel algorithms for understanding object movement in video data using multi-object tracking and segmentation (MOTS). §Fundamental activity recognition technology in computer vision, developed so far using human dance but also applicable to livestock. Models human activity as a hierarchical process which is consistent with how experts view it. Our model spans low levels (raw images, image sequences), to mid-levels (human poses and body part movements), to high levels (sequences of actions that form semantic units) of human activity. We expect to extend this capability to the case of pigs, instead of humans. New Techniques for Heterogeneous Data Fusion : Two of the techniques above for the "small data" problem - continuous transfer learning, and indirect invisible poisoning attacks - also provide novel benefits for learning from heterogeneous data sources. §Another new approach to heterogeneous data fusion uses a novel model called Network of Tensor Time Series (NeT3), which includes separate models to incorporate explicit relationship networks of the time series and model the implicit relationships among co-evolving time series. Advances in Learning for Control: §We have significantly improved the reliability of small robot navigation amongst corn and soybean fields using visual control learning, replacing expensive LIDAR and GPS sensors with far less expensive consumer video cameras, supported by recent advances in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for distance and heading (angle) estimation from a live video stream. (Also contributes to the foundational challenge of edge computing for machine learning.) We demonstrated through extensive field experiments that recent advances in CNN model pruning can dramatically reduce the computational requirements for mobile robot navigation without sacrificing navigation reliability. These optimizations serve to bring down the performance, energy requirements, and even the cost of computer hardware for robots by an order of magnitude or more. Strategies for Integrating Domain Knowledge into ML: Work on deep learning for control showed that it is possible to create hybrid reinforcement learning controllers that use approximate models of the system to guarantee stability (Narenthiran et al, 2021) In activity recognition, we use prior knowledge about constraints on parameters of motion that apply to humans to improve the accuracy of the generic models used for the predictions. Further, we expect to generalize the capability to separate the domain-dependent and domain-independent components. New techniques for Human Interaction with Autonomous Systems : §We developed natural language learning algorithms that learned keywords from WikiHow webpages for entity discovery and schema induction for procedural knowledge (Wang et al, 2021), to help answer gardening questions.
