Food needs are increasing day by day, and traditional agricultural methods are not responding efficiently. Moreover, considering other important global challenges such as energy sufficiency and migration crises, the need for sustainable agriculture has become essential. For this, an integrated smart and mechanism-application-based model is proposed in this study. This model consists of three stages. In the first phase (cultivation), the proposed model tried to plant crops in the most optimized way by using an automized algorithmic approach (Sand Cat Swarm Optimization algorithm). In the second stage (control and monitoring), the growing processes of the planted crops was tracked and monitored using Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In the third phase (harvesting), a new method (Reverse Ant Colony Optimization), inspired by the ACO algorithm, was proposed for harvesting by autonomous robots. In the proposed model, the most optimal path was analyzed. This model includes maximum profit, maximum quality, efficient use of resources such as human labor and water, the accurate location for planting each crop, the optimal path for autonomous robots, finding the best time to harvest, and consuming the least power. According to the results, the proposed model performs well compared to many well-known methods in the literature.

With the recent growth of the Internet, the volume of data has also increased. In particular, the increase in the amount of unstructured data makes it difficult to manage data. Classification is also needed in order to be able to use the data for various purposes. Since it is difficult to manually classify the ever-increasing volume data for the purpose of various types of analysis and evaluation, automatic classification methods are needed. In addition, the performance of imbalanced and multi-class classification is a challenging task. As the number of classes increases, so does the number of decision boundaries a learning algorithm has to solve. Therefore, in this paper, an improvement model is proposed using WordNet lexical ontology and BERT to perform deeper learning on the features of text, thereby improving the classification effect of the model. It was observed that classification success increased when using WordNet 11 general lexicographer files based on synthesis sets, syntactic categories, and logical groupings. WordNet was used for feature dimension reduction. In experimental studies, word embedding methods were used without dimension reduction. Afterwards, Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) algorithms were employed to perform classification. These studies were then repeated with dimension reduction performed by WordNet. In addition to the machine learning model, experiments were also conducted with the pretrained BERT model with and without WordNet. The experimental results showed that, on an unstructured, seven-class, imbalanced dataset, the highest accuracy value of 93.77% was obtained when using our proposed model.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a globally important legume crop whose grain yield is strongly influenced by environmental and agronomic variability. This study aimed to predict chickpea grain yield using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and to identify key traits associated with yield formation across different genotypes under semi-arid conditions. The dataset consisted of 96 chickpea genotypes evaluated over two growing seasons (2022–2023) in Sivas, Türkiye. The results demonstrated that reproductive traits, particularly seed weight per plant, number of pods per plant, and number of seeds per plant, were the most influential factors determining grain yield. Environmental variability also contributed significantly to yield prediction, highlighting the importance of genotype–environment interactions. The developed ANN model showed high predictive accuracy, indicating its robustness in capturing complex relationships among yield-related traits. Beyond prediction, the model provides biologically meaningful insights into trait prioritization, supporting its application in chickpea breeding programs. Overall, the findings suggest that ANN-based approaches can serve as effective decision-support tools in precision agriculture by enabling accurate yield estimation, facilitating the selection of high-performing genotypes, and identifying key breeding traits for sustainable crop improvement.

Known as Global Navigation Satellite Systems, GNSS is a geolocation service. GNSS systems used in the world are known as GPS in America, GLONASS in Russia, GALILEO in Europe, BEIDOU in China and IRNSS in India. However, GPS is the only one that works decisively today. GNSS systems are used effectively in the navigation of all types of land, sea and air vehicles such as search and rescue, target finding, and landing and take-off of airplanes with or without limited visibility. GPS systems in GNSS do not always perform accurate and consistent location calculations. This may be due to environmental conditions, high-rise buildings and weather conditions. This study is presented as a solution to the map matching problem by minimizing the error deviation rates of GPS data from NOVATEL and UBLOX based vehicle tracking devices with the help of Kalman Filter Algorithm. In addition, the deviation rate between the GPS data from the vehicle tracking system and the estimated point coordinates is provided in meters.
