Release of the training data

[chrmue44]

Hi,
an open item on your TODO list is the release of the training data.
I would highly appreciate the release to train the model with additional species that we have here in Germany. The results with the already incorporated species is very good so far. It works better than anything else I tested before.

Cheers
Christian

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your interest. My expectation is that we will be releasing the data in the next few months.

We are very interested in generalizing the model to new locations, so very happy to chat over email if you want to discuss this further. You can find my email address on my website https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/omacaod/

All the best,
Oisin

Is it possible to add additional species to the classifier using the fine tuning procedure or must the entire thing be retrained? A few swedish species are missing from the UK training set.

Thanks for a nice easy to use classifier,
Anders

In this instance, I think it would be best to retrain with the new set of species. In a few months the data will be released so that this will be possible.
