Thanks Rupert, both for being persistent and for being patient. And thanks for the meme, made me giggle. I can’t make any promises… BUT - could you help me identify a clade that I could use for a comparison experiment? Something constrained enough that I could do an A vs B experiment training up mo…

Would hybrid lime trees ie. Common Lime, Tilia x europaea L. be a good species to include in any exploration of recognition of cultivars?

The hybrid problem is why lemon trees get offered Citrus medica by CV? Here for example @s_k_johnsgard IDs thru all citrus obs. Most, but not all, C medica IDs in South Africa are wrong.

Hi @alex . Thanks for the reply, and best wishes for the Covid recovery. One challenge in selecting a good test candidate is that the number of hybrid taxa with sufficient observations to surpass the CV-inclusion threshold is a small fraction of the total taxa in most clades (even though they may re…

Iridoideae sounds like a great place to start, thank you! I’ll do some EDA tomorrow and check back in on Friday.

HI Rupert! Not too soon, apologies for the delays. We’re wrapping up a training run which requires a bunch of the usual validation work to make sure it checks out ok, and then kicking off the next production training run. So that took up a bunch of my week. But, good news - team responded favorabl…

Hi Alex. Thanks for the update. I’m trying to visualize how you might judge whether including hybrid plant taxa is successful. In that regard I’m thinking of a couple of points. First, there’s every reason to think that it’s just as easy/hard to distinguish a hybrid taxon from other species in the …

Just a quick thought about this idea: [image] rupertclayton: First, there’s every reason to think that it’s just as easy/hard to distinguish a hybrid taxon from other species in the same genus as it is to distinguish between two plant species. No one really raised a concern that hybrids should …

[image] cthawley: I think that might be true in some groups (and maybe the statement was intended to be restricted to plants, where I have little experience), but I can also think of groups (mostly in animals since that is my background) where hybrids intergrade in appearance between their two p…

Hi @alex. Did you have any luck with the exploratory data analysis? Or am I asking too soon?
