[image] Concern about # of observations Every photo that you upload may improve our computer vision suggestion (photos of rarer taxa help more, but every photo helps) Speaking of, how many more spiders do I need to upload here so Owen and friends are in the next CV version https://www.inatural…

Yes, and valuable to anyone trying to learn to ID the species.

Also the date being accurate affects ‘seen nearby’ I think?

[image] nrg800: For a few species in the latest update are almost soley on iNat from captive observations (eg Pygmy Hippo and Fishing Cat ). Is there any measures in place to make sure that the model does not learn to associate that species with a ‘zoo enclosure’ look, eg looking down on the an…

I am such an idiot! After just reading about sinistral vs dextral shells (around post 30 in this thread) I IDed one of my own shells as a left-handed species when the shell itself was right-handed! https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/163852273#activity_identification_1db7fba8-2163-4a24-8140-16…

I find it encouraging that the pictures for Lunate Crassinella you’ve added since starting this project: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?created_d1=2023-06-01&place_id=any&taxon_id=253452&user_id=bonesigh Don’t look immediately distinguishable by eye from the range of Lunate Crassinella o…

[image] susanhewitt: Once you do that, if the opening of the shell is now on the right, the shell is dextral, but if the opening is on the left, the shell is sinistral. Just to clarify slightly, for the dextral shell, the opening of the shell will face you on your (the observer’s) right, and …

Yes, that is a good clarification. Thanks.

Just a little context on why diversity matters, a typical classification neural network is a Convolution Neural Network. It trains filters that activate neurons when they pass over certain features in an image. If too many images are taken at the same focal length with the same camera, the network m…

I love your teamwork approach and spirit @DianaStuder !
