Prediction of international rice production using long short- term memory and machine learning models by Arya, Suraj, Anju, ., Nor Azuana, Ramli

“…This paper proposes machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models like linear regression, ridge regression, random forest (RF), adaptive boosting (AdaBoost), categorical boosting (CatBoost), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), gradient boosting, decision tree, and long short-term memory (LSTM) to predict international rice production. A total of nine ML and one DL models are trained and tested on the international dataset, which contains the rice production details of 192 countries over the last 62 years. …”
