Dhenu Vision LoRA 0.1

Inspired by the mythical Kaamdhenu, the wish-fulfilling cow of Hindu mythology, we, at KissanAI, are introducing a series of finetuned Language Learning Models (LLM), "Dhenu", designed for the agricultural sector. Dhenu merges the depth of agricultural practices with modern AI capabilities, aimed at enriching the farming community with actionable insights. This model embodies the fusion of tradition and technology, offering tailored guidance to navigate the complexities of agriculture with precision and ease. Dhenu stands as a testament to innovation, guiding farmers towards a prosperous and sustainable future.

Introduction

Dhenu-vision-lora-v0.1 is an open-source agricultural disease detection model fine-tuned on the Qwen-VL-chat model. It is specifically designed to assist with diseases among three major crops, rice, maize, and wheat, in conversational way. We incorporate Low Rank adaptation techniques for low-cost fine-tuning on agricultural datasets.

We observed that even with lora, the model is performing 2X better over the base model for the objectives mentioned below.

Dataset

Syntehtic dataset of ~9000 images for three major crops, Maize, Rice, and Wheat, for following common disease identifiable from leaves:

• Leaf blight
• Leaf spot
• Streak virus
• Bacterial blight
• Blast
• Tungro
• Crown and Root Rot
• Leaf rust
• Wheat loose smut

For objectives:

• Disease identification
• Symptoms
• Cure
• Prevention methods
• Severity

Evaluation

For a collection of 500 images evaluated using multiple prompt-based approaches, we achieved the following results:

Qwen-VL-chat: 17.95% Dhenu-vision-lora-0.1: 36.13% GPT4-V: 51.59%
