Advancing Early Blight Detection in Potato Leaves Through ZeroShot Learning.

Potatoes are one of the world's most widely cultivated crops, but their yield is coming under mounting pressure from early blight, a fungal disease caused by . Early detection and accurate identification are key to effective disease management and yield protection. This paper introduces a novel deep learning framework called ZeroShot CNN, which integrates convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and ZeroShot Learning (ZSL) for the efficient classification of seen and unseen disease classes.
