I am now imagining a pigeon throwing a strop because it really wanted to admire some Titian

You probably knew this already but they are also quite good at medical images classification too. http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0141357 … I'm working on a dataset with pigeon classification myself.

I did not! Now I really want to know how they compare to (human) citizen scientists.

That’s a study you should definitely design. The paper would be both interesting and hilarious!

They compred them to experts both in this case and in an unpublished case and the average of the birds is better than the seasoned expert IIRC.

So assuming this works transitively then they would kick the asses of human amateurs.

Amateur humans cannot do the task IIRC.

Just to be clear, I assumed amateur = naive. Not trained non-specialists.

I have no idea what happens if you train non-specialists. BTW there should be answers and more in the article itself, so please don't take my word on this all.

i scanned it but could only see comparisons to trained specialists, hence my interest in an inexperienced cohort
