Food-to-Food Fortification to Enhance the Bio-functionality of Rice

Rice is one of the leading crops that constitutes major staple food for almost half of the world’s population. Rice is a major source of energy, but it is poor source of micronutrients. There is a need to improve biofunctional attributes of rice using innovative food-food fortification techniques.

Bridging the domain gap for visual recognition systems.

Deep learning models adapt or generalize sub-optimally across different domains, especially when test domains contain classes unseen during training. This project will investigate open-set continual domain adaptation, with focus on both Computer Vision and Earth observation data.
