Citizen Science Project : Can you beat AI in classification of sunspot groups ?
Recently, the Royal Observatory of Belgium has developed an AI-classification [1] of sunspot groups, based on deep learning algorithm. This was part of the BRAIN2 project DeepSun that focused on the valorization of long-term solar dataset acquired by ROB solar observing station, USET. We know would like to ask citizens (you !) to also provide sunspot classifcations, with the goal to compare the results provided by the solar physics experts, AI, and the citizens. All three will make mistakes, but it is interesting for us to study the pattern of the good and bad classifications.
