This is from a few months ago but really interesting work from some university students that trained a popular machine learning model on data from iNaturalist.nz. The app is pretty good at identifying endemic species. The entire model is installed with the app which means that it works offline.

      I didn’t realise they had an app, let alone an auto ID feature. I’m going to go and check it out now.

      Edit: It works well. I think one of the big benefits of the Waikato Uni app is that it works offline, without creating an observation, etc. And it does seem slightly better at IDing things in my quick tests. I’m glad you put me on to the iNaturalist app though. It’s good to have both.
