分层联邦学习提升农业产量预测,保护隐私还更准。
Hierarchical Federated Learning for Crop Yield Prediction in Smart Agricultural Production Systems
- 按季节分作物集群,本地训练+分层聚合
- 本地与作物层模型贴近真实产量,优于传统方法
- 适合数据敏感的多元农田场景
本文提出一种专为智慧农业生产和作物产量预测设计的分层联邦学习架构。该方法引入季节性订阅机制,农场在每个农季初加入特定作物的集群。三层架构包括客户端的智能农场、中间层的作物专用聚合器和顶层的全局模型聚合器。每个作物集群内,客户端协作训练针对特定作物的专用模型,并聚合生成跨作物知识融合的高层全局模型。该设计兼顾单作物本地优化与多作物全局泛化,同时保障数据隐私并降低通信开销。实验表明,本地模型与作物层模型均与实际产量模式高度一致,显著优于标准机器学习模型。结果验证了分层联邦学习在异构农业环境与隐私敏感数据场景中的优势。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this paper, we presents a novel hierarchical federated learning architecture specifically designed for smart agricultural production systems and crop yield prediction. Our approach introduces a seasonal subscription mechanism where farms join crop-specific clusters at the beginning of each agricultural season. The proposed three-layer architecture consists of individual smart farms at the client level, crop-specific aggregators at the middle layer, and a global model aggregator at the top level. Within each crop cluster, clients collaboratively train specialized models tailored to specific crop types, which are then aggregated to produce a higher-level global model that integrates knowledge across multiple crops. This hierarchical design enables both local specialization for individual crop types and global generalization across diverse agricultural contexts while preserving data privacy and reducing communication overhead. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system, showing that local and crop-layer models closely follow actual yield patterns with consistent alignment, significantly outperforming standard machine learning models. The results validate the advantages of hierarchical federated learning in the agricultural context, particularly for scenarios involving heterogeneous farming environments and privacy-sensitive agricultural data.
