Fine-grained recognition of plants from images
TLDR
The results suggest that recognition of segmented leaves is practically a solved problem, when high volumes of training data are available and the generality and higher capacity of state-of-the-art CNNs makes them suitable for plant recognition “in the wild” where the views on plant organs or plants vary significantly and the difficulty is increased by occlusions and background clutter.

Lessons from misclassification in international accounting

A method for identifying mis-classification in any field is set out, drawing on the qualitative characteristics for useful information set out in the conceptual framework for financial reporting, particularly faithful representation and relevance. Expand
Taxonomy for Humans or Computers? Cognitive Pragmatics for Big Data

LOGIC AND MEMORY IN LINNAEUS'S SYSTEM OF TAXONOMY.
TLDR
The principles on which Linnaeus based his taxonomy are shown to be, at least in intention, primarily Aristotelian; it is suggested that the principles of Logical Division may still be a powerful source of unwarranted bias in modern classifications. Expand
The Genus in Evolutionary Taxonomy
TLDR
That Linnaeus in later years came to consider that species were not wholly immutable, as Ramsbottom has pointed out, does not mean that he returned to a chaos, comparatively speaking, of fluctuating forms within each genus. Expand

TLDR
The pronouncement quoted above, which means that the groups of individuals which form the species are descended from ancestors that owed their origin to an act of creation, derives its historic importance from the part it played in the debates on the theory of evolution. Expand
