Uncovering the biosphere: Predicting Plant Traits for Ecosystem Health

Employing deep learning-based regression models, such as
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), to predict plant traits
from images in a multi-task learning approach: the model
predicts multiple plant traits simultaneously. This project
contributes to understanding the broader implications of
global changes on ecosystems.

Classification with Quantum Neural Networks 

Built an OCR data pipeline coupled to a Quantum Neural
Network (QNN) to recognize handwritten digits. Regions of
interest (ROIs) were extracted from textual images, with
subsequent application of an OCR algorithm featuring a
quantum neural network, or quantum circuit, for the
identification of digits
