Proportion of "Nothing Heres"

  • abloss by abloss

    Can you tell me approximately the proportion of "Nothing here" images to Human/dog/cat/mower to "something there" ? It seems like a majority of my classifications are Nothing heres. Thanks

    You would totally be correct that the majority of the classifications are nothing heres. I wrote a blog post about it a while back, but it seems like it is not in our blog section. Here it is though.

    Thanks! I will see what I can do to get that one included with the other blog posts as well.

    Seems like we're in a real dry spell for animals right now. Maybe I'm just getting tired of seeing the same 5-6 cameras over and over, but the % of "nothing here" seems to have gone way up.

    It looks like the image displaying animals come in waves 😃 I was getting empty ones for all the time and now it is one animal after another..

    Also, I'm trying to figure out why the "no data" false pop-up has returned (or, well, I've asked a developer to look into it... )

    I clicked on the Here it is though link for the blog post and it went to the Lincoln Park Zoo page, but no blog post on it 😦(( FYI

    I think they moved the posting under the CWW blog: http://www.lpzoo.org/blog/chicago-wildlife-watch/tag-youre-it

    In poking around, I also found this one:

    I once saw two very contented-looking rabbits in the rhino enclosure at the Lincoln Park Zoo, nibbling on the rhino's hay. The rhino didn't seem to mind the company.
