Yield prediction is one of the most important issues in semiconductor manufacturing. Especially, for a fast-changing environment of the semiconductor industry, accurate and reliable prediction techniques are required. In this study, we propose a prediction model to predict wafer yield based on virtual metrology process parameters in semiconductor manufacturing. The proposed prediction model addresses imbalance problems frequently encountered in semiconductor processes so as to construct reliable prediction model. The effectiveness and applicability of the proposed procedure was demonstrated through a real data from a leading semiconductor industry in South Korea.

The yield of semiconductor chips is dependent not only on the average defect density but also on the distribution of defects over a wafer. The distribution of defects leads to consider a cluster index. This paper briefly reviews the existing yield prediction models ad proposes a new cluster index, which utilizes the information about the defect location on a wafer in terms of the coefficient of variation. An extensive simulation is performed under a variety of defect distributions and a yield prediction model is derived through the regression analysis to relate the yield with the proposed cluster index and the average number of defects per chip. The performance of the proposed simulation-based yield prediction model is compared with that of the well-known negative binomial model.

이 연구의 목적은 random forest 를 활용하여 기상요소만을 이용하여 우리나라 전체의 벼 평균수량을 예측하는데 있다. Random forest 는 예측에 사용되는 각 predictor variable 을 분리할 수 있는데 이를 통해 분리된 시계열 상의 추세가 비정상적인 증가형태를 보였다. 이는 결국 예측능력의 저하로 이어지기 때문에 이를 제거할 필요가 있고 본 연구에서는 이동 평균을 이용하여 제거한 후 예측을 하였다. 1991 년부터 2005 년까지의 기상자료와 수량자료를 학습에 사용하였고 2006 년부터 2015 년까지의 자료들을 검증용으로 사용하였다. 학습자료에 대해서는 상당히 정확한 예측 능력을 보여주었으나 검증 자료에서는 그렇지 못하였다. 그 이유를 분석하기 위해 학습 자료와 검증자료에 대해서 각각 변수 중요도를 산출하여 비교한 결과 두 자료 간에 월별 기상 자료에 대한 중요도가 변동되었음을 발견하였다. 이러하 차이가 발생한 이유는 학습자료와 검증 자료에서의 전국적으로 표준이앙기가 이동하여 벼의 생육기간 자체가 변하였기 때문이다. 따라서, 정확한 예측을 위해서는 지역별 파종기 또는 이앙기에 대한 자료가 필요하며 단순히 기상 자료만을 활용한 예측은 어려운 것으로 생긱된다.

Prediction of rice yield during a growing season would be very helpful to magnify rice yield as it also allows better farm practices to maximize yield with greater profit and lesser costs. UAV imagery based automatic detection of rice can be a relevant solution for early prediction of yield. So, we propose an image processing technique to predict rice yield using low altitude UAV images. We proposed $L^*a^*b^*$ color space based image segmentation algorithm. All images were captured using UAV mounted RGB camera. The proposed algorithm was developed to find out rice grain area from the image background. We took RGB image and applied filter to remove noise and converted RGB image to $L^*a^*b^*$ color space. All color information contain in both $a^*$ and $b^*$ layers and by using k-mean clustering classification of these colors were executed. Variation between two colors can be measured and labelling of pixels was completed by cluster index. Image was finally segmented using color. The proposed method showed that rice grain could be segmented and we can recognize rice grains from the UAV images. We can analyze grain areas and by estimating area and volume we could predict rice yield.

Food policy is considered as the most basic and central issue for all countries, while making efforts to keep each country's food sovereignty and enhance food self-sufficiency. In the case of Korea where the staple food is rice, the rice yield prediction is regarded as a very important task to cope with unstable food supply at a national level. In this study, Korean paddy Rice yield Prediction Model (KRPM) developed to predict the paddy rice yield using meteorological element and MODIS NDVI. A multiple linear regression analysis was carried out by using the NDVI extracted from satellite image. Six meteorological elements include average temperature; maximum temperature; minimum temperature; rainfall; accumulated rainfall and duration of sunshine. Concerning the evaluation for the applicability of the KRPM, the accuracy assessment was carried out through correlation analysis between predicted and provided data by the National Statistical Office of paddy rice yield in 2011. The 2011 predicted yield of paddy rice by KRPM was 505 kg/10a at whole country level and 487 kg/10a by agroclimatic zones using stepwise regression while the predicted value by KOrea Statistical Information Service was 532 kg/10a. The characteristics of changes in paddy rice yield according to NDVI and other meteorological elements were well reflected by the KRPM.

Due to the Internet of Things popularity, many agricultural data are collected by sensors automatically. The abundance of agricultural data makes precise prediction of rice yield possible. Because the climate factors have an essential effect on the rice yield, we considered the climate factors in the prediction model. Accordingly, this paper proposes a machine learning model for rice yield prediction in Taiwan, including the genetic algorithm and support vector regression model. The dataset of this study includes the meteorological data from the Central Weather Bureau and rice yield of Taiwan from 2003 to 2019. The experimental results show the performance of the proposed model is nearly 30% better than MARS, RF, ANN, and SVR models. The most important climate factors affecting the rice yield are the total sunshine hours, the number of rainfall days, and the temperature.The proposed model also offers three advantages: (a) the proposed model can be used in different geographical regions with high prediction accuracies; (b) the proposed model has a high explanatory ability because it could select the important climate factors which affect rice yield; (c) the proposed model is more suitable for predicting rice yield because it provides higher reliability and stability for predicting. The proposed model can assist the government in making sustainable agricultural policies.

This study explores advanced machine learning techniques for improving crop yield prediction in smart farming, utilizing multi-temporal spectral data from drone-based multispectral imagery. Conducted in garlic orchards in Andong, Gyeongbuk Province, South Korea, the research examines the effectiveness of various vegetation indices and cutting-edge models, including LSTM, CNN, Random Forest, and XGBoost. By integrating these models with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the study systematically evaluates the factors that influence prediction accuracy. The integrated approach significantly outperforms single models, offering a more comprehensive and adaptable framework for yield prediction. This research contributes to precision agriculture by providing a robust, AI-driven methodology that enhances the sustainability and efficiency of farming practices.

The study was conducted to determine if variation in protein yield can be explained by expressions of early lactation somatic cell score (SCS) and if prediction can be improved by including SCS among the predictors. A data set was prepared (n = 663,438) from Wisconsin Dairy Improvement Association (USA) records for protein yield with sample days near 20. Stepwise regression was used requiring F statistic (p < .01) for any variable to stay in the model. Separate analyses were run for 12 combinations of four seasons and first three parities. Selection of SCS variables was not consistent across seasons or lactations. Coefficients of detennination ($R^2$) ranged from 51 to 61% with higher values for earlier lactations. Including any expression of SCS in the prediction equations improved $R^2$ by < 1 %. SCS was associated with milk yield on the sample day, but the association was not strong enough to improve the prediction of future yield when other expressions of milk yield were in the model.

Neural network based models were developed and evaluated for predicting corn yield from aerial images based on 1998 and 1994 image data. The model used images in multi-spectral bands such as R, G, B, and IR (Red, Green, Blue and Infrared). The inputs to the neural network consisted of mean and standard deviation of multispectral bands of the aerial images. Performances of several neural network architectures using back-propagation with momentum were compared. The maximum yield prediction accuracy obtained was 97.81%. The BPNN model prediction accuracy could be enhanced by using more number of observations to the model, other data transformation techniques, or by performing optical calibration of the aerial image.

최근 딥러닝 기술을 활용하여 작물 생산량 예측 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 딥러닝 알고리즘은 입력 데이터 세트와 작물 예측 결과에 대한 선형 맵을 구성하는데 어려움이 있다. 또한, 알고리즘 구현은 획득한 속성의 비율에 긍정적으로 의존한다. 심층강화학습을 작물 생산량 예측 응용에 적용한다면 이러한 한계점을 보완할 수 있다. 본 논문은 작물 생산량 예측을 개선하기 위해 DQN, Double DQN 및 Dueling DQN 의 성능을 분석한다. DQN 알고리즘은 과대 평가 문제가 제기되지만, Double DQN은 과대 평가를 줄이고 더 나은 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안된 모델은 거짓 판정을 줄이고 예측 정확도를 높이는 것으로 나타났다.
