BotEnSky uses two artificial intelligence systems to identify plants and birds:
- Pl@ntNet API for plant and flower identification
- BioClip for bird and animal identification
Both systems are based on machine learning models. While they are highly accurate, they are not perfect and can make mistakes.
Errors can occur for several reasons: photo quality, shooting angle, similar species, lighting conditions, etc.
The displayed percentage (e.g., "94.44%") represents the confidence level in the identification. The higher the percentage, the more reliable the result is considered. A low score may indicate a rare species, an ambiguous photo, or similarity with other species.
For PlantNet: You can help improve the database by reporting errors on identify.plantnet.org or by contributing photos on my.plantnet.org.
For BioClip: The system is based on the scientific study BioCLIP (arXiv:2311.18803). If you know a better model for bird identification, you can suggest it to the bot owner on Bluesky or via GitHub issues.
If you notice an error, feel free to reply to the bot's post on Bluesky to report the correction.
