Help clean up computer vision errors! This list of species is for identifying and getting help with “cleaning up” major computer vision errors by raising awareness to reidentify observations. The more correctly identified observations there are, the more accurate computer vision becomes, as it is pe…

I would prefer this to be closed. Someone can create a new topic if they would like. Thanks! Edit to add: I just think that since the model is updated so frequently now it’s not worth having a separate topic like this which gets stale and hard to keep up with. I think flags (or journal posts) work…

Sorry, it appears I’ve severely missed the point of this thread. I’m supposed to be discussing identification in flags instead of in the comments :sweat_smile: I have another question though. Since a misidentification necessarily involves two taxa, which one do you put? If multiple species are mist…

Add one that is suggested by the programm, as those observations need revision.

EDIT: I just went ahead and added it in. I can take it off if I misinterpreted the rules. :grin: I’m not sure if this would fit the criteria exactly, but should I add Pennisetum clandestinum to the list? I ask since it’s a CV misID, but it often jumps drastically in number when students use iNat t…

I added Haworthia to the list. Some time ago, it was split up into several genera - Haworthia, Haworthiopsis, and Tulista. However, many species split off as Haworthiopsis are very commonly grown as houseplants. So it looks like CV tends to over-suggest Haworthia, and it might also be affecting the…

Hi folks, Just wanted to say that I really appreciate all of the work that goes into this wiki issue. It’s been an article of faith for those of us who train these vision systems that the easy answer to failed predictions/suggestions is simply more data. I’m not totally sure how well placed that f…

Kashubian Buttercup, Ranunculus cassubicus, has basal leaves very different from stem leaves. The computer seems to be confused, suggesting this species for plants as different as Garlic Mustard and Goldenrods. I cleaned up the North American records; the actual species isn’t known from this area.…

[image] alex: did we increase our dataset size on these problem taxa? Did that image count growth correlate with an increase in our suggestion accuracy? If not, can we figure out why? Great to hear that the model is being updated soon! I think the issues with problem taxa highlighted on th…

Though in many cases system can’t decide what is best, it doesn’t show a genus to choose from, only a list of species, and sometimes top one is right, but often all of the mwrong or right one is in the bottom. Maybe adding an additional line appearing like “we are not sure what it is, id it your way…

This is a good suggestion. This should say and spell out that “You should check this suggestion before you use it”. And it should explicitly say how to check it. However, as it is most users just click on the first thumbnail that “looks right”.

Yes… this sort of statement is already a feature on the iOS app I think, so at the least should be replicated on the main browser version. I guess the problem is, explaining to the average user how to check complex taxa is not so simple in a few words. I came across an identifier this week with tho…
