The University of Florida was awarded a $1,188,351 project grant from the National Science Foundation under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering grant program (CFDA 47.070) to develop a privacy-preserving cyber infrastructure for collaborative smart farming. The three-year award beginning June 1, 2023 will support the creation of a federated analytics framework to enable data and model sharing between agricultural farms while preserving individual data privacy. A novel federated tensor-based modeling approach will be designed to exploit the spatiotemporal structure of smart farm datasets and allow each farm to generate local models for transmission to an aggregator. The aggregator will then broadcast an aggregated model back to each farm to support personalized local decision-making with reduced model communication. Differential privacy techniques will also be investigated to enhance privacy within the collaborative framework. The developed artificial intelligence-enhanced multi-farm system will be tested with citrus farms. Broader applications for renewable energy and manufacturing systems are also envisioned.
