It’s #MuseumWeek and today’s topic is Artificial Intelligence. One of our recent projects teamed up with our friends at RBGE_Herbarium🌿to use AI to do automatic quality checks on herbarium sheets. Checks range from focus and cropping, to spotting missing elements #AImuseumsMW

Surprising? Not at al! If you think carefully, you may know the reasons behind... At all times, one has to digest the results more carefully rather than being convinved by reading the text, even it is a top journal. Recently, I saw too many misleading meta analysis...
