Cornell researchers to use Machine Learning to fight hunger and poverty

With one or other battle, war or conflict raging in many parts of world, what this world needs is peace. And as Nobel prize winner and father of green revolution, Dr.Norman Borlaug famously said, "There cannot be any peace on hungry stomach". If people are well fed and hence happy, they are less likely to engage in conflicts. A group of researchers from Cornell University would use ML techniques to analyse food and market conditions, to predict poverty and malnutrition in poorest region of the planet. The method would use available satellite data to measure solar induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF).
