Machine Learning Approaches for Post-Harvest Management of Perishable Foods

This systematic review of 122 studies (2015–2025) demonstrates that machine learning models, particularly ensemble and hybrid approaches integrated with non-destructive sensing technologies, significantly enhance post-harvest management of perishable fruits by improving quality assessment and loss reduction across the entire supply chain, while highlighting the need for standardized datasets and real-world validation to overcome current deployment challenges.

Validation-Aligned Coreset Selection for Budgeted Few-Shot Classification

This paper introduces Validation-Aligned Coreset Selection (VACS), a method that selects the optimal class-balanced subset selector by evaluating a portfolio on internal validation splits, demonstrating that repeated validation can significantly improve few-shot classification accuracy under extreme budget constraints, though it does not universally surpass the best static selection rules.
