• Abstract: Many different technologies are used to detect pests in the crops, such as manual sampling, sensors, and radar. However, these methods have scalability issues as they fail to cover large areas, are uneconomical and complex. This paper proposes a crowdsourced based method utilising the real-time farmer queries gathered over telephones for pest surveillance. We developed data-driven strategies by aggregating and analyzing historical data to find patterns and get future insights into pest occurrence. We showed that it can be an accurate and economical method for pest surveillance capable of enveloping a large area with high spatio-temporal granularity. Forecasting the pest population will help farmers in making informed decisions at the right time. This will also help the government and policymakers to make the necessary preparations as and when required and may also ensure food security.

  We show that unsolicited calls are in slow decline, though complaints and call volumes remain high. We find that robocallers have managed to adapt to STIR/SHAKEN, a mandatory call authentication scheme. In total, our findings highlight the most promising directions for future efforts to characterize and stop telephone spam.
