Questions
The Advanced Agriculture laboratory focuses initially on rice, tea, and coconut — Sri Lanka's primary agricultural exports and food crops. The first live pilot is a rice-yield prediction model for the North Central Province, the country's main paddy-growing region.
Yes. The partnership with the Sri Lanka Department of Agriculture is an active data-sharing relationship. DOA provides historical yield data, soil classification maps, and field-trial data; ASI Research Lab provides research outputs the DOA can deploy through its extension services.
Sri Lanka's agricultural land is covered by the free Sentinel-2 (ESA) and Landsat-9 (NASA) programs. NDVI and derivative indices from this multispectral imagery provide reliable early indicators of crop stress, converted into field-level alerts through an automated processing pipeline.
The first live pilot deployment is targeted within six months of site launch: a rice-yield prediction model for the North Central Province. The scope is deliberately narrow, specific, and achievable.

For most of scientific history, researchers studying behavior could only infer hidden mechanisms from outward actions: an inverse problem that becomes more tractable when observation is augmented by targeted intervention.

Standard benchmarks for multimodal large language models (MLLMs) score each item on one canonical ordering and miss whether order-irrelevant shuffling changes the answer, a baseline reliability property called for by emerging AI evaluation guidelines.

AI agents are granted access to tools, APIs, and other infrastructure, making them active principals in those systems.
