7th Machine Learning for Cyber-Agricultural Systems (MLCAS)
The MLCAS 2025 Competition on Global Wheat Full Semantic Segmentation is already underway! Two winning teams will receive travel awards of up to $4,000 USD.
We're excited to announce that the Seventh Machine Learning for Cyber-Agricultural Systems (MLCAS) Workshop will take place on August 5-6, 2025, at The University of Tokyo, Japan.
Call for Contributions
Target Participants
The Seventh International Workshop on Machine Learning for Cyber-Agricultural Systems (MLCAS) 2025 will focus on the theme “Convergence of Multi-Modal Sensing, Multi-Omics Integration, and Multi-Platform Analytics for Next-Generation Cyber-Agricultural Systems.” This year’s workshop aims to explore how synergizing heterogeneous data streams—from spectral imaging and IoT sensor networks to genomic and environmental datasets—can revolutionize precision agriculture. By bridging advances in machine learning with multi-scale biological, environmental, and operational data, MLCAS2025 will address critical challenges in crop resilience, resource optimization, and climate-smart farming. The workshop will emphasize computational frameworks capable of harmonizing data across spatial, temporal, and biological scales, enabling predictive digital twins that integrate plant physiology, field conditions, and management practices.
