Cibo Labs Pasture Biomass Model Updates

With each iteration of our Model, we plan to reduce the MAE and MAPE with an emphasis on expanding area of applicability.

Cibo Labs is currently working on a 2025 model for release in Q3.  The model would take advantage of over 7500 calibration sites from accross Australia.  The timeline for all our model releases (from 2018):

Pending Model 2025 (for release Q3):

Aims to completely redesign the model architecture, usesing 50% fewer parameters with GELU activation and batch normalisation across six hidden layers in a funnel architecture.

Running the same 10-fold cross validation as before, we see an improvement of MAE from 235kg/ha (current) to 113kg/ha (proposed) and a drop in MAPE from 25% down to 13%
