They are also weakly grounded in agronomic imagery and tend to be overconfident. Existing agricultural resources such as PlantVillage, AgroInstruct and AgroMind provide labels or QA pairs but no step-by-step rationales. ## Also in our library 5 more works of theirs are in our library without a page here yet; they will appear as we publish them. ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Hisham Cholakkal](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hisham-cholakkal/) ×2 - [Salman Khan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/salman-khan/) ×2 - [Sara Ghaboura](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sara-ghaboura/) ×2 - [Fahad Shahbaz Khan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fahad-shahbaz-khan/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 55 times (of the 140,884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [10 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rao-muhammad-anwer/cited-by/).
