机器学习算法广泛应用于不同场景的农业变量预测,但其性能受训练数据数量与质量制约。合成数据生成(SDG)通过创建保持原始数据特征的人工样本,缓解数据不足问题。本文提出任务条件合成数据生成(TCSDG)算法,结合贝叶斯网络生成器与基于Transformer的表格上下文学习模型(TabICL)。在作物产量预测和作物类型分类两个农业任务上评估,覆盖12个研究地点、两种训练数据比例、四种数据扩增倍数及三种预测模型。使用TCSDG生成的合成数据,使机器学习性能在89%的作物分类实验和74%的产量预测实验中得到提升。TCSDG显著优于六种基准SDG方法,且是唯一在两类任务上均持续提升性能的方法。结果表明,精心设计的合成数据可有效增强精准农业中的机器学习表现。完整代码开源,地址:https://github.com/HamidEbrahimy/TCSDG。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Machine Learning (ML) algorithms have been widely used to estimate agricultural variables across diverse contexts. However, because the quantity and quality of training data strongly influence performance of ML algorithms, their use can be constrained by limited or incomplete reference data. Synthetic Data Generation (SDG) offers a practical approach to address this issue by producing artificial but realistic samples that preserve key characteristics of the original data. Building on teacher-student knowledge transfer and in-context learning for tabular data, this study proposes a Task-Conditioned SDG (TCSDG) algorithm that pairs a Bayesian Network generator with a transformer-based tabular foundation model (TabICL). The proposed algorithm was evaluated on two agricultural prediction tasks: crop yield prediction and crop type classification. Six benchmark SDG algorithms were also utilized to compare their performance with that of TCSDG. Across twelve study sites, two training-data fractions, four multiplication ratios, and three predictive ML algorithms, augmenting the original data with TCSDG-generated synthetic data improved ML performance in 89% of the crop type classification experiments and 74% of the crop yield prediction experiments. TCSDG also substantially outperformed benchmark SDG algorithms and was the only method to consistently improve ML performance across both tasks at the aggregate level. The study demonstrates that carefully designed and processed synthetic data can improve ML performance in precision-agriculture applications. TCSDG offers a practical and extensible framework for generating synthetic data that supports downstream ML agricultural prediction. The full implementation of TCSDG is publicly available as open source at https://github.com/HamidEbrahimy/TCSDG.
