[image] What Image(s) Are Used for "Training" Computer Vision? our computer vision model is not trained to recognize a certain taxon - it is trained to recognize iNaturalist photos of a certain taxon @tiwane - can this training and observation entry be modified somewhat? A real challenge for…

[image] kiwifergus: To bring the analogy back to your situation, you want a dataset of observations that have annotations, which you will have by just taking the ones that have annotations… if you want more observations, or if you want a certain number of them faster, then you can enlist help to…

[image] dkaposi: This is an area I suspect iNat’s early programmers weren’t worried about (understandably) They weren’t worried about it because, as stated clearly by them, the data is a (wonderful) by-product and not the primary objective. And I am NOT dismissing the data as a by-product, ju…

Hi folks, I think the iNat team has been talking about the potential for using computer vision for annotations for as long as annotations have existed. We discussed our computer vision roadmap recently and we decided that annotations for computer vision is a fun idea, but we’re choosing to prioriti…

[image] dkaposi: I edit a provincial moth atlas, so I am only interested in observations for the province Currently over half of the RG observations in Ontario have a life stage annotation. I’ve added a few and I’ll add some more as it’s fairly easy to do (I’ve being doing the same for the UK…

[image] alex: but we’re choosing to prioritize other things for the rest of 2019 and early 2020, including training new versions of the iNaturalist model and chasing the grants / funding necessary to do more than one training run at a time. hi Alex - I understand that this topic is not gettin…

From memory it was indicated that CV training is a lengthy and costly process.

Hi David, First of all, I think we should decouple the feature request for automated annotation from the ongoing vision system. To us, it doesn’t make sense to talk about them together, because we won’t be implementing them together. Happy to talk about that further if you’d like. With regard to t…

I was also wondering about the idea of Community Annotation & Tagging Challenges. Other people might be willing to help you tag your moths too.
