Hello. I been wondering if it is possible to start a Collection/Umbrella project with the help of Artifitial Intelligence. I know about a project called Global Roadkill that seems to use AI (if you enter a photo of a dead animal laying over concrete or over a road, most likey will be added to that p…

Hi Guillermo, I’m not sure, but using machine learning to automatically assign observations to a project could be considered a violation of iNaturalist’s terms. More about this here: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/machine_generated_content But for example if you’re building a system that can gen…

I don’t know anything about the AI aspect, but since Egg is a Life Stage annotation, you could set up a collection project that automatically adds all the bird observations from El Salvador with Life Stage = Egg. Unfortunately, this does require that those observations already be annotated and it lo…

[image] bouteloua: subsequent human-powered annotating / addition of those to projects just to clarify, the key isn’t the human-powered annotation… it’s the human review, right? or am i thinking about that wrong? for example, suppose i have my AI present me a page of photos from 1000 observa…

I’d consider that type of individual review “human-powered” (even if the actual annotating was done en masse). But probably best to confirm with staff on any large-scale project. From that page: It’s ok for humans to use machines as tools for arriving at their choice or to facilitate posting this …

We were just talking about this on another thread. Basically @jeanphilippeb has a script that runs the computer vision on unknowns, and tested out the idea of grouping some unknowns into projects based on what the AI thinks they are.

Yes, I have created a project that includes El Salvador with Life Stage = Egg. And, as you mentioned, not all observations are annotaed, but so far it seems like wil be my only option.

I honestly do not know for sure, but the project has thousands of observation and I do remeber seen one that were unlikely to be roadkills…anyway. It seems like in this moment is not possible, so all observations form eggs needs be to added manually. Thanks
