Summary

When someone confirms a species in Antenna, that answer should make the model better. This adds the machinery to do that without retraining BioCLIP itself.

The backbone is frozen, so only the small classifier head on top needs retraining — and because the backbone never changes, a crop's embedding never changes either. Antenna now keeps that embedding the first time a crop is classified, so retraining becomes fitting a small matrix over stored vectors: seconds, not weeks, and the images are never opened again.

A job gathers the verified crops for a project, writes them to a file in project storage, and hands a processing service the link. The service fits a new head, scores it against the head it is currently serving on the same held-out rows, and reports back. Every retrain is recorded as a new algorithm version, so any prediction stays traceable to the exact weights and dataset that produced it. Nothing is promoted automatically: a new head is registered and scored, and deciding to use it stays a human step.

Retraining raises a question it cannot answer itself — is the new head actually better? So this also adds evaluation. An occurrence set is a fixed, stored list of verified occurrences; scoring compares an algorithm's stored classifications against what people identified, in one pass over the database with no images opened and no GPU. Two heads can only be compared if they answered the same questions, which is why the membership is stored rather than re-sampled.

Split across three PRs. The interface for all of this is #1423. The processing-service half — a BioCLIP classifier and the /train endpoint — is RolnickLab/ami-data-companion#167. This PR is the Antenna backend.

List of Changes

# What it does for a user or operator How
1 Embeddings computed during classification are kept instead of thrown away features on ClassificationResponse; DetectionEmbedding table (ml/0029)
2 Storing them is opt-in per project, so no project pays for it unless it will retrain store_classification_embeddings feature flag
3 Verified crops missing an embedding can be filled in without re-running the detector generate_embeddings job (jobs/0025)
4 A service can say which of its algorithms are worth retraining trainable on AlgorithmConfigResponse, mirrored onto Algorithm (ml/0030)
5 A project's verified labels become a training set and are handed to a service train_classifier job (jobs/0024), training_dataset.py, training_dispatch.py
6 A retrained head covers the project's species list, not only what someone verified Project.default_taxa_list (main/0096), read when the set is built
7 Training can outlast the request that started it POST /jobs/{id}/training-result/, authorised by a signed token
8 Each retrain is its own algorithm version, so past predictions stay attributable same name, next version, new key
9 Any head can be traced to the data and scores that produced it Algorithm.training_info — dataset URL, metrics, parent key, job id, warnings
10 An evaluation set can avoid anything a model trained on TrainingSetMembership (ml/0032)
11 Two models can be compared on identical data OccurrenceSet (ml/0033); read-only at /ml/occurrence-sets/
12 A model is scored without a GPU or reprocessing anything evaluation.py compares stored classifications to human identifications in one pass
13 A score says both how often a model is right and how it treats rare species micro_accuracy and macro_accuracy, plus per-species TaxonEvaluation rows
14 Scoring runs as a job like anything else evaluate_algorithm job (jobs/0026)
15 The numbers reach the screens that show them training_crops_ready, algorithm_performance, best_model, evaluations
16 A job that could never run is refused when it is made each job type declares required_fields / required_params

Detailed Description

Why the dataset goes through storage rather than the request body

Antenna writes the training set as one .npz in project storage and sends a URL. Production holds around 273,000 human identifications; at roughly 2 KB a vector that is hundreds of megabytes — fragile to send in one request, and it starts over if the connection drops. A file is cheap to retry and needs nothing new from the service, which already downloads capture images from the same place.

Measured on 10,000 vectors of the real shape:

Format Size Time to build
JSON, as the API serves it 227.6 MB 29.3 s
npz, float32 41.7 MB 2.1 s
npz, float16 21.2 MB 1.1 s

float16 loses nothing: Postgres already stores these as two bytes each (halfvec), so JSON was printing nine decimal places for numbers that never had them.

Why the held-out split is grouped by occurrence

An occurrence is one insect across several frames, so its crops are near-duplicates. Splitting by detection puts near-identical crops on both sides and reports an accuracy that is far too high. The assignment is a hash of the occurrence id rather than a random draw, so re-running after new data arrives leaves the existing held-out set exactly where it was — an eval set that drifts cannot compare two heads.

Why there is no vector index

These vectors are read in bulk to fit a head, never searched by nearest neighbour. Measured at 20,000 rows: the rows occupy 54 MB and an HNSW index a further 45 MB, so an index nearly doubles the cost for no benefit. An index can be built later if similarity search is ever wanted.

Why a retrain creates a new Algorithm row

A Classification points at an Algorithm, so a version changed in place would make past predictions untraceable. Each retrain creates a row: same name, next version, new key, because key is unique on its own while (name, version) is unique together.

Why scoring reads the database instead of running the model

Both halves of the comparison are already stored — what a person identified, and what the algorithm classified — so an algorithm that has processed a set is scored in a single query. An algorithm is only asked about species it can actually predict: its category map is the list of answers available to it, so an occurrence of anything else is counted as skipped rather than wrong, otherwise a regional head looks bad for not knowing a species nobody trained it on. An algorithm that never ran on the set raises rather than returning zero.

Why the best model is ranked on the per-species average

Trap data is long-tailed. A head that handles only the common species scores well on the plain share while being useless for the species anyone wants found. best_model orders on macro_accuracy first, using micro_accuracy only to break ties.

Why training-crop counts do not roll up the taxonomy

verified_count rolls descendants up. training_crops_ready deliberately does not: a head is fit on the label itself, so a crop verified as a species is not training data for its genus. It counts crops rather than occurrences, because one insect across three frames is three images to train on. Like the Example column in #1365 it is gated behind ?with_training_crop_counts=true, and annotates NULL when not requested — a zero would read as a species with nothing to train on.

How to Test the Changes

Run end to end against a BioCLIP service (ami-data-companion#167), triggered from the UI:

  1. Confirm occurrences.
  2. Run generate_embeddings. The service log shows Skipping the localizer, use existing detections — the detector does not run again.
  3. Run train_classifier against a 17-species taxa list of which 10 had verified crops. The new head came out with 17 classes, 7 carried over from the current head, and the occurrences used were recorded.
  4. The new head scored 0.636 against the current head's 0.875, so it was not promoted, and was still registered as a new version alongside its dataset.
  5. Build an occurrence set and run evaluate_algorithm against two heads. Scores are stored per algorithm and per species.

That the new head lost is the expected result, not a defect: a head trained on ~96 crops should lose to one trained on the full Newfoundland set. The comparison, and the refusal, are the point.

A caveat about the blind set used above. It was assembled from "Confirm" clicks, and confirming means agreeing with the model, so the head in service scores 1.000 on it by construction. A fair set needs corrections in it too; building one is separate work.

Tests: 839 pass, 2 skipped.

Deployment note

This needs the pgvector extension in the production database. The embedding column is halfvec, and ml/0029 runs CREATE EXTENSION vector. Locally the Postgres image installs postgresql-16-pgvector; the stock image is used rather than pgvector/pgvector:pg16, because that image is built on an older Debian and swapping it under an existing data directory triggers a collation version mismatch.

Known gaps

  1. Retrained heads accumulate. Every run adds a head that is never removed, so the picker grows without limit. This wants a retirement rule or a status field on Algorithm — a design question rather than an oversight.
  2. A stored head is never fetched back. The weights are uploaded and their location recorded, but a service that has lost its disk copy does not re-download them; that needs head discovery at startup.
  3. params is writable on the Job API. A train_classifier job carries its algorithm_key there. Required keys are checked per job type, but the field still accepts arbitrary JSON from anyone who can create a job.
  4. MLJob.process_images() gained a keyword argument. The default preserves existing behaviour, but it is a shared code path.
  5. occurrences_safe_to_evaluate_on() is not called in production code. It exists and is tested; the sets used so far were assembled by hand, and wiring it in is what would make a set blind by construction.
  6. Nothing reports embedding coverage across a project, which is the number that says whether a retrain is worth starting at all.

…d species

When someone confirms a species in Antenna, that answer can now be used to
improve the model. BioCLIP itself is untouched: the backbone is frozen, so only
the small classifier head on top of it is retrained.

Because the backbone never changes, a crop's embedding never changes either. It
is saved once when the crop is first classified and reused by every later
retrain, so the big model never runs over the same image twice.

Two new job types drive this. One fills in embeddings for verified crops without
re-running the detector. The other collects verified labels and their embeddings,
writes them to a file in project storage, and hands a processing service a link
to it. The service fits a new head, scores it against the head it is currently
serving on the same held-out rows, and reports back.

Every retrain is recorded as a new algorithm version with the dataset it was
fitted on and the scores it achieved, so any prediction stays traceable to the
exact weights that made it. Nothing is promoted automatically.

Needs the pgvector extension in the database.

…in its own head

The service already computed a 1024-dimension embedding for every crop before
naming a species, then discarded it. It now returns it alongside the
classification, which is what makes retraining cheap on the Antenna side.

Adds a training endpoint that downloads the dataset Antenna prepared, fits a new
head, and scores it against the head currently in service on the same held-out
rows. It never swaps the running head: an automatic swap would let one bad
training run quietly degrade every later classification.

Each algorithm now declares whether it can be retrained and what settings to use,
so Antenna only offers retraining where it is cheap. Only the classifier heads
are marked trainable; the detector and the zero-shot classifiers are not.

The minimal test service returns stand-in embeddings so the path can be exercised
without a GPU.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 01cfb

Several open concerns remain. Evaluation results can be left partially written or mis-scored, classifier-training results can be registered twice, embeddings can be attached to the wrong crops, and project-scoped evaluation data can be exposed. Resolve these, or explicitly accept them, before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 756ef

Project-specific training provenance is added to shared algorithm responses, while concurrent completion and file uploads can weaken the guarantee that completed versions remain immutable. Project checks and expiring, job-specific tokens provide substantial containment. Production file-access policy and concurrent lifecycle behavior remain unresolved.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Project-owned training provenance is placed in shared Algorithm records and serialized without project-visibility filtering. It includes the dataset URL, training counts, metrics, warnings, and job identity. Algorithm detail remains project-unscoped, unlike evaluation reporting and the training-data API. This creates an inferred cross-project metadata exposure; access to the full archive depends on the unverified storage access policy.
  • Medium · security · inferred: Training callbacks and head uploads check terminal state before performing later writes, without a shared job lock or conditional completion transition. An upload admitted while the job is active can race with completion and replace weights afterward. Result recording can likewise race with cancellation or another completion, weakening revocation and the one-job/one-version audit invariant. Sequential late calls are rejected, and database transactions and version uniqueness narrow—but do not eliminate—these interleavings.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — Callback mutation authority is bounded to the job named in a valid token, rather than arbitrary jobs or infrastructure credentials. A compromised bearer can affect that job’s weights and registered provenance. Shared algorithm responses can broaden the audience for project-specific metadata across projects; archive access and downstream use of registered weights remain conditional on storage policy and later selection.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A reader of a shared trained-algorithm representation can receive project-derived dataset location and training statistics without the training-data endpoint’s visibility check. The URL identifies an archive containing bulk verified labels, vectors, and occurrence/detection IDs. Downloadability is not verified: production uploads lack an explicit public-read ACL in the inspected settings, and effective bucket/CDN policy is missing.
  • inferred — A valid-token head upload can pass its active-job check before another request completes the job, then replace the referenced file afterward. Similarly, result recording can pass its terminal check before cancellation and later write SUCCESS without the existing guarded status-transition mechanism. These are concurrency-dependent integrity and revocation paths, not unauthenticated token bypasses.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The service authenticates by possession of an expiring signed token bound to one job ID. Signature, age, and wrong-job checks constrain that delegation. Callback actions additionally require the training job type; sequential terminal callbacks and uploads are rejected or ignored. Uploaded files have a size check and job-derived storage paths. The token does not separately identify a processing service.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Missing result data becomes an empty result. Missing labels or an unavailable parent can prevent version registration, yet record_result still marks the job successful. This weakens the success/provenance contract used for audit and recovery. Cleanup of heads uploaded before failure or revocation was not established by the inspected storage and callback paths.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Keep project provenance behind an explicit visibility check, even when the Algorithm itself is shared. Use private training-object access with short-lived service download authorization, and establish the effective uploads bucket/CDN policy before relying on dataset URLs as an access boundary.
  • proposed — Serialize result acceptance, cancellation, and upload admission per job; make finalized weights immutable rather than replaceable at their registered path. Add a durable one-result-per-job invariant and validate successful registration preconditions before marking SUCCESS. Assign explicit cleanup ownership for abandoned uploads.

…learned from

A retrain used to take its species list from whatever had been verified, so a
project with eight verified species produced an eight-species head and the
pipeline quietly went blind to everything else. The project's taxa list now
decides what the head can predict, and the verified crops only decide how well
it predicts each one. Species in the list with no crops yet are kept and
reported rather than dropped.

Every occurrence that goes into a training set is written down at the moment the
set is built, and linked to the version it produced once training finishes. That
is what makes a blind evaluation set possible later: without it there is no way
to tell data a model learned from apart from data it has never seen, and it
cannot be reconstructed after the fact.

Training can outlast the request that starts it, so a service now reports its
result to a callback on the job instead of holding the connection open. A
processing service has no account here, so the callback is authorised with a
signed token issued when the job was dispatched. A repeated result is ignored.

Also closes a hole in the training-data endpoint, which checked that a caller was
logged in but not that they could see the project, and moves its query parameters
onto the shared validation helpers so bad input answers 400 instead of being
quietly accepted. The retraining settings stored on an algorithm are now actually
read: they set how the dataset is built and are passed to the service, and a job
can override any of them for a single run.

…it retrains

A retrain started from noise, so any species without freshly verified crops came
out worse than before. The new head now starts from the current one's weights,
and species with no new crops have those weights put back after fitting. Seeding
alone is not enough: training drags them around as negatives over hundreds of
rounds. With both, a retrain can only add what it learned and never lose what was
already there.

A retrained head was also unusable, because nothing could select it. Each head
saved to disk is now offered as its own algorithm and its own pipeline, listed
the moment training finishes and again whenever the service starts. The head it
was trained from stays exactly where it is, so a retrain adds a choice rather
than replacing one. The pipeline names were a fixed list, which meant any head
trained after deployment was rejected; they are validated against the live
registry instead, and an unknown name now says which ones exist.

The species list Antenna sends is honoured rather than re-derived from the rows
that happen to be present, which is what made a seventeen-species taxa list
produce an eight-species head. Saved weights are written in a form the loader can
actually read back. A request for a head shape this service cannot fit is now
refused rather than quietly served as a linear one.

A processing service posts its result to the job's callback before it returns
from the training request, so a run that finishes quickly reported twice: once
through the callback and once through the code that dispatched it. Both paths
registered a version, so every retrain left two identical algorithms behind and
the job it came from sat at sixty-seven per cent with a finished result.

The dispatching code now re-reads the job before writing anything and stops if a
result has already landed, and the recording path ignores a second report for a
job that is already finished. Progress from the dispatch is written field by
field rather than as a whole row, so a stale copy held from before the callback
can no longer put a finished job back into "started".

…e verified

There was no way to say whether a retrained head was better than the one it came
from. Comparing two models means asking them the same questions, so this adds an
occurrence set: a fixed, stored list of verified occurrences that does not move
when new data arrives. A set that belongs to no project is available everywhere,
which is how one set compares models across the platform, the same way a taxa
list with no project already works.

Scoring reads what is already in the database. The human identification and the
model's classification are both stored, so an algorithm that has processed the
set is scored in a single pass with no images opened and no GPU. A new job type
runs it and writes down both the overall share correct and the average over
species, because trap data is long-tailed and a model that only handles the
common species otherwise looks excellent. The per-species breakdown is kept as
rows so it can be read the other way round: every model's score for one species.

An algorithm is only asked about species it can actually predict. Its category
map is the list of answers available to it, so an occurrence of anything else is
left out and counted separately rather than marked wrong; otherwise a regional
head looks bad for not knowing a species nobody trained it on. An algorithm that
has never run on the set is reported as a missing step rather than an accuracy of
zero. Scoring the same pair again replaces the earlier result, since a second run
over the same occurrences is a correction and not a new fact.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CnKz4AS4iFrYj1GrgkZQbq
The scores had nowhere to be read. Four places now show them, following the
mockups from the September 3 meeting.

The species table gains a "training images ready" count: the verified crops that
species has, which is what a head can be fit on. It counts crops rather than
occurrences, because one insect photographed over three frames is three images to
train on, and it does not roll up to genus or family, because a head is fit on
the label itself and a crop verified as a species is not training data for its
genus. The count is annotated once per page the same way the verification counts
already are, so it costs one query whether the page holds one row or a thousand.

A species page lists every model that has been scored on it, with the accuracy
for that species and the set it was scored on, each linking to the model. A taxa
list shows its best model, ranked on the per-species average rather than the
plain share so that a model which only handles the common species cannot win. An
algorithm's details panel shows what it has scored, on which sets. Each of these
reads "n/a" until something has actually been evaluated.

The evaluations behind the algorithms list are prefetched and the best model is
found in one query, so neither list issues a query per row.

… API

Retraining a head, computing embeddings and scoring a model could only be started
by posting to the API by hand. The job form now asks which kind of job to make and
then asks for what that kind needs: a pipeline for an ML or embeddings run, a head
to retrain, a head and an evaluation set to score. Nothing else is shown, so the
form no longer demands captures for a job that never looks at one.

Each job type now declares what it cannot run without, and the API refuses a job
that is missing any of it. A gap is reported while the person still has the form
open rather than surfacing minutes later as a job that failed for want of an
algorithm, and a job type nobody recognises is rejected outright instead of being
stored as something that can never run.

Evaluation sets are readable over the API for the first place that needs to offer
them as a choice. They stay read-only: membership is built deliberately, because
two models can only be compared if they were scored on exactly the same
occurrences. Algorithms can be filtered to the trainable ones, so the form offers
only heads a processing service will actually accept.

@mohamedelabbas1996 mohamedelabbas1996 changed the title [Draft] Use verified identifications to retrain a classifier head [Draft] Retrain a classifier head from verified identifications, and score what it produces Sep 17, 2026
mohamedelabbas1996 and others added 4 commits September 17, 2026 12:49
Two branches added a queryset method and its call site in the same place, so both
are kept: ``with_training_crop_counts`` for the verified crops a head can be fit
on, and ``with_example_occurrence_ids`` for the presence-verification Example
column from RolnickLab#1365.

Counting training crops now follows the opt-in shape that RolnickLab#1365 established for
the Example column. The count is a single aggregate, but it grows with the project
rather than the page and only the species table shows it, so it runs behind
``?with_training_crop_counts=true``. When the caller does not ask, the field is
null rather than zero — an uncomputed count must not read as a species with

… loop

The loop over grouped detection requests bound its value to `requests`, which is
also the name of the HTTP module imported at the top of the file. Every later
reference in that function resolved to the loop's list rather than the module.
The loop variable is renamed, two genuinely unused imports go, and the files are
brought up to what the repo's pre-commit hooks produce, including the modern
Django test-client `headers=` form.

Declaring ``pipeline`` required for the ML job type changed behaviour for a job
shape that has always been accepted: the role-permission tests post a job with a
name and a delay and nothing else, and expect it created or refused on permission
grounds. Requiring a pipeline turned both outcomes into a validation error, so an
unauthorised caller was told their payload was wrong rather than that they may not
do this.

The job types added here keep their requirements — nothing has ever created one of
those without them.

…e models live

The service was added under processing_services/, which the README describes as
somewhere to keep a local demo backend copied from `example` — and that is exactly
what it was, a fork of `example` with BioCLIP bolted on. Two thirds of it was that
scaffolding: a second Algorithm base class, a second copy of fifteen schema classes
already defined in the companion repo, and four demo classifiers that had nothing
to do with BioCLIP.

It now lives in ami-data-companion, which is where the team's real inference code,
model loading and weight handling already are, and where the trainable flag it
depends on was added. The classifier is written against that repo's
InferenceBaseClass rather than a parallel one, so it is a model alongside the
others instead of a service beside the service. See RolnickLab/ami-data-companion#167.

A classifier head over a frozen backbone is cheap to retrain: the backbone never
changes, so a crop's embedding never changes either, and fitting a new head is a
small matrix over stored embeddings rather than another pass over the images. This
adds such a classifier and the endpoint that retrains it.

The classifier is an ordinary model here — BioCLIP 2.5 with a linear head, written
against InferenceBaseClass like every other — so it inherits batching, devices and
the API response shape rather than reimplementing them. Its forward pass returns the
embedding alongside the logits, and that embedding now travels with the
classification it produced, because it is what a future head must be fit on.

`POST /train` takes a dataset Antenna has already prepared, fits a head, and scores
it against the head currently in service on the same held-out rows. It never swaps
the running head: an automatic swap would let one bad run quietly degrade every
later classification. Each saved head is offered as its own pipeline, so it can be
selected like any other, and the head it was trained from stays exactly where it was.

Heads are discovered from disk at startup, so a restart does not lose them. Two
things write a label map — a head published on the Hub, and a head retrained here,
which stores its labels beside the counts and metrics of the run — so the loader
accepts both shapes; a head that can be trained but not served is no use.

Moved from antenna's processing_services/, where it had been a fork of the example
backend carrying its own copies of the schemas and base classes this repo already
defines. See RolnickLab/antenna#1407.

… of occurrences

An occurrence set is a named, project-scoped list of occurrences, which is the
same shape as a capture set or a taxa list — and both of those live in the main
app and are routed under the domain noun they collect. This one was in the ml app
under `ml/occurrence-sets`, so the one place someone would look for sets of
occurrences was the one place they were not.

The model and its viewset move to main; the route becomes `occurrences/sets`,
registered before `occurrences` so the detail route does not swallow it. The
evaluations themselves stay in ml and reference it across apps, the way they
already reference main.Taxon — they are about how a model performed, not about
which occurrences were chosen.

Nothing is deployed yet, so the migrations are regenerated rather than moved with
state operations: main/0097 creates the set, ml/0033 creates the two evaluation
tables that depend on it.

…ssing display filters

The "training images ready" count went through the project's default filters, which
the training set itself does not. The score threshold hides predictions the model
was unsure about — but these rows are human answers, and someone correcting a
low-confidence prediction is the most useful crop there is. So the column dropped
exactly the data most worth training on, and disagreed with the set a retrain
builds: on a verified occurrence scored below the threshold, the column said 6
where the training set used 7.

The count now mirrors `ami.ml.training_data` and applies no display filters, with
a test that pins the two together.

Every retrain creates a new algorithm version, and training_info.dataset_url is
meant to name the exact set it learned from. It was always null, so no retrained
version could be traced back to its data.

The dataset's own metadata is echoed back by the processing service and is where
that field is read from, but the url was computed after the file was written and
so never went in. The path is deterministic, so it is worked out first and the
file now records where it was written, which also makes the archive
self-describing as its comment already claimed.

…ainst

An occurrence set belonging to no project is global: it is how one set compares
models across the whole platform. The endpoint never returned one. The inherited
visibility filter keeps a row only if it reaches a non-draft project, and a set
with no project never does, so global sets were hidden from everyone but a
superuser -- the opposite of what global means.

The endpoint also had no test, which is why this went unnoticed. It now has one,
and the viewset requires a project like the taxa-lists endpoint it mirrors:
without one the queryset has nothing to scope to and would list every set on the
platform.

Only a set's name and size are exposed, never the occurrences inside it, so a
global set carries nothing from the projects that contributed to it.

Every list on the taxa-lists page shows the model that handles its species best,
and each one was fetched with its own query: a page of six lists cost 28 queries
against 10 for a single list. The lookup is now five correlated subqueries
annotated onto the page, following how collection counts are already done here,
so the cost no longer grows with the number of lists.

The ranking rule moves into one constant. The page and the single-list lookup
have to agree on what "best" means, and they were two copies of the same
order_by.

A multi-row fixture is the only way to see this: with one list an N+1 and a flat
query are indistinguishable. The guard counts only evaluation queries, so it
reports this endpoint's own scaling rather than the per-row project and taxa
lookups that already exist on the serializer. A second test reads best_model
back from the endpoint, because a missing annotation would otherwise turn the
field null with the query count still looking healthy.

Both are named by id in the job's params, which any member who can create a job may
set, and both were looked up by primary key alone. A job in one project could name
another project's private evaluation set, read its per-species accuracy out of the job
log, and then overwrite it: an evaluation is stored once per algorithm and set, so
save_evaluation replaces the other project's row and repoints its job. The species list
a retrain uses had the same gap.

Both lookups now go through for_project, so they see the project's own records plus the
ones that belong to no project, and a miss fails the job with a message that says the
set is not in this project. Occurrence sets already had that queryset method; taxa lists
gain the same one rather than repeating the filter at the call site.

The tests use a real algorithm so the evaluate job reaches the set lookup instead of
failing earlier on an unknown key, which is what made an earlier version of them pass
against the unfixed code.

…request body

A job's params are free JSON, and any member who can create a job may set them.
Three URLs were read from there: the callback the service posts its result to, the
base the head-upload URL is built from, and the base for the dataset download. So a
member could point the callback at a host they control, wait for someone with the run
permission to start the job, and receive the signed token the service is given. That
token also unlocks the head upload, which writes into Antenna's own storage, and the
result it authorises is copied into a new global Algorithm row.

All three now come from EXTERNAL_BASE_URL alone. A per-deployment override belongs in
settings rather than in a request body, and the local default already resolves to the
address the service uses, so nothing needs to pass one.

The existing callback test carried a media_base_url in its params from when that could
override the target. It keeps it, and now asserts the URL ignores it.

…s dead

A training job hands its work to a processing service and waits to be called back,
writing nothing to its own row meanwhile: the progress it reports goes to the log
table. The stale-job check read that silence as a dead job, finished it after ten
minutes with no head registered, and the real callback was then refused because the
job had already reached a final state. Any run longer than ten minutes died that way.
Every run so far trains in seconds, so it only appears at a real dataset size.

The threshold is now a property of the job type rather than one number for every kind
of job. JobType carries the default and Job.STALLED_JOBS_MAX_MINUTES points at it, so
the existing references keep working against a single value, and TrainClassifierJob
sets its own. The sweep gathers candidates at the default as before and then judges
each one by its type's deadline.

The type is resolved with get_job_type_by_key rather than the job's own job_type(),
which raises on a key it does not recognise; in a periodic sweep that would stop the
whole run over one bad row rather than skipping it.

The training deadline matches the life of the callback token. Once that expires
Antenna refuses the callback anyway, so a job still waiting past it can never finish,
which makes it the honest point to give up rather than a number chosen by feel.

114-123: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

latest_evaluations still runs queries once per algorithm.

The docstring says this function avoids a query per row. Two parts still query the database on every call:

  • visible_sets(project).values_list("pk", ...) runs one query each time it is called with a project.
  • row.occurrence_set.name lazy-loads each set unless the caller also prefetched evaluations__occurrence_set.

In a list view that calls this function per algorithm, queries grow with page size.

Fix: compute the allowed set IDs once per request and pass them in, for example from serializer context. Also prefetch evaluations__occurrence_set in the viewset.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The duplicate-result guard is a check-then-act race.

record_result works in two steps. It calls refresh_from_db and checks status. It then registers a version and writes SUCCESS, without a lock and outside a transaction.

The inline path in dispatch and the HTTP callback can both run record_result at the same time. This happens when the service posts its callback while /train is still returning. Both calls pass the status check, and each creates an Algorithm version. The two versions can collide on the (name, version) unique constraint, which raises IntegrityError, or produce two registered versions. The sequential tests do not cover this case.

Lock the job row for the whole check and write.

Return no performance rows when no project is active.

The request path is:

  1. GET /api/v2/taxa/{id}/ is sent without project_id. TaxonViewSet allows anonymous reads through IsActiveStaffOrReadOnly.
  2. get_active_project(..., required=False) returns None.
  3. The serializer calls reporting.performance_for_taxon(obj, project=None).
  4. visible_sets(None) returns None, which means "no scoping". performance_for_taxon then selects every TaxonEvaluation for the taxon on the platform.

The response then includes the occurrence-set name and accuracy for every project that scored this species, including draft projects. The project-visibility check in TaxonViewSet.get_queryset runs only when a project is supplied.

The docstring says this scoping prevents "another project's numbers". The test test_a_species_does_not_show_another_project_s_evaluations covers only the case where a project is supplied.

Create the permissions if they do not exist yet. Otherwise the grant does nothing.

On a fresh migrate, auth.Permission rows for 0098's Meta.permissions are created by the post_migrate handler. That handler runs after all migrations finish. At the moment grant runs, Permission.objects.filter(codename__in=CODENAMES, ...) can therefore return an empty list. grant then returns early and grants nothing. The docstring says post_migrate re-syncs roles, so the end state may still be correct. The explicit grant in this migration, however, is a no-op in exactly the deploy that needs it. Use get_or_create for each codename, or document that this migration only relies on the later re-sync.

Add a unique tiebreaker to BEST_MODEL_ORDERING.

annotate_best_model builds five separate correlated subqueries. Each subquery picks its own first row. When two evaluations tie on macro_accuracy and micro_accuracy, such as two heads that both score 1.0 on a small list, each subquery can return a different row. best_model can then combine one algorithm's id and name with another algorithm's accuracy or set name.

Both fields are also nullable. DESC puts NULLs first in PostgreSQL, so a NULL score would rank as best.

Enforce project visibility before returning evaluations.

latest_evaluations returns all evaluations when no project_id is supplied. The algorithm detail view intentionally remains unscoped, so this exposes evaluation-set names, scores, and counts from other projects.

A supplied project_id does not fix this. get_active_project loads any existing project without checking whether the caller can view it. A caller can pass a draft project's ID and receive its evaluations.

AlgorithmSerializer is also used by nested serializers that do not prefetch evaluations, and it raises KeyError when instantiated without a request context.

  • Return [] when no request or project is available.
  • Return [] when the project is not in Project.objects.visible_for_user(request.user).
  • Keep evaluations out of nested serializers unless those serializers require this data and prefetch it.

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-434 — Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type

Validate head filenames and serialize replacement. The callback accepts head.npz and head.label_map.json, but store() accepts any uploaded filename and returns its storage URL. Normalize the basename and allow only supported head extensions before constructing the path. Production returns unsigned S3 URLs, so do not expose arbitrary uploaded types.

The exists/delete/save sequence is also racy. With file_overwrite disabled, concurrent callbacks can receive suffixed paths, so a rerun no longer replaces the deterministic path. Serialize replacement per job and filename, or use a backend-specific atomic overwrite.

Validate the training hyperparameters that are taken from job.params.

Any member who can create a job sets job.params. These values reach the service without type or range checks. For example, a string epochs or a negative learning_rate is sent as is. Coerce each value and check its bounds before dispatch, so a bad value fails early in Antenna and not later inside the service.

Do not retry the non-idempotent /train POST on 5xx responses or read timeouts.

create_session() defaults to retries=3 with backoff_factor=2 and status_forcelist=(500, 502, 503, 504). It also sets read=retries. urllib3 does not retry POST on status codes by default, because allowed_methods excludes POST. It does retry POST on connection and read errors, because read=3 applies to all methods for read timeouts. With timeout=600, one slow training run can therefore be dispatched up to four times. Each attempt starts a separate training run on the service, and the requests can together take about 40 minutes. Use a session with retries=0 for this call, or pass a Retry that sets read=0 and allows only connect retries.

The callback token stays valid for 24 hours and the head is stored at a path fixed by
the job, with any existing file deleted first so a re-run replaces its own. The upload
checked the token and the job type but not whether the job had already finished, so for
a day after a run ended the weights a registered version points at could be replaced
while Antenna went on reporting that version as the one it stored.

The result callback beside it already refuses a job in a final state; the upload now
does the same. A service uploads before it reports, so a run still in progress is
unaffected.

Found by review on RolnickLab#1407. It pairs with the change that stopped the callback target
being read from the job's params: that one stopped the token reaching a host of
someone's choosing, this one limits what the token can do if it gets there anyway.

Evaluation sets belong to a project, so every read of them is scoped by one. Two holes
in that scoping let a caller read sets that are not theirs.

The project came from get_active_project, which loads a project by id alone. Naming any
id in the query string scoped the response to that project, member or not, so a draft
project's set names and scores were readable by anyone who guessed its id. Reads now go
through reporting.project_for, which puts the id through visible_for_user before it is
used and returns None when the caller may not see it.

Passing no project then meant no scoping at all, which answered with every project's
sets at once. It now means the global sets alone, so the unauthenticated and nested
cases degrade to the sets that are public by design rather than to everything. That
removes the None branch from each read, so the scoping is one expression per query with
nowhere left to forget it.

AlgorithmSerializer is nested inside other responses that do not always carry a request,
which is why the context lookup is .get() rather than a subscript.

Found by review on RolnickLab#1407. get_active_project itself is unchanged: it is used across the
repo and widening its contract belongs in its own change.

Claude says: Thanks for this, the retraining and evaluation loop reads well, and the reasoning for sending the training set through storage is convincing.

One overlap to settle together before either side merges. The tracking work (#1272 and the draft #1439 stacked on it) also stores a per-detection feature vector for similarity, and the two efforts collide in a few places: both add a DetectionEmbedding table and an ml/0029 migration; #1272 adds a length check on ClassificationResponse.features that would reject a 1024-wide vector, which we will relax on our side; and #1439 keys the vector to the algorithm that produced it (the frozen backbone) so several consumers can share one row per detection, while this PR keys it to the classifier head.

We are working out how model outputs (embeddings, logits, post-processing results) should be stored generally, and nothing is decided yet. Rather than push a proposal at you, we will bring a concrete suggestion for one shared table shape once that lands, and we would like your input on it. Until then it would help to know which of this PR's parts depend on the table shape and which do not.

Preserve the explicit minutes override.

check_stale_jobs(minutes=60) previously handled jobs untouched for more than 60 minutes. With this change, a two-hour-old training job passes candidate selection but is skipped because its type supplies a 24-hour deadline. The explicit cutoff no longer controls recognized job types.

Record whether the caller supplied minutes before applying the default. Use the job-type deadline only when the caller omitted minutes.

The note body now describes the design as decided on 1 October: two abstract bases and five
tables (per-target embeddings on halfvec, AlgorithmResult for what a job decided or measured
about an occurrence, capture or session, ValidationReview for what a person verified,
PipelineResultsBatch for raw service responses kept in object storage, and Job as the run on
every output row), the use cases each phase serves, what the research found and where the
notes are, the entity diagram, ORM usage and endpoints, migration steps, six implementation
phases, how #1439 splits and converges with #1407, export mappings, the alternatives that were
rejected and why, and a decision log. The three appendices are folded in.

Two things made an evaluation report a number that did not mean what it looked like.

The set to score was chosen by determination being set. But determination falls back to
the model's own top prediction when nobody has identified the occurrence, and
Pipeline.save_results sets it that way for every detection it classifies. So an
algorithm could be compared against its own guess and agree with itself. The filter is
now on a non-withdrawn Identification, which is how the rest of the platform decides an
occurrence is verified. Truth is still read off determination, because for an identified
occurrence that is the identification's taxon.

The species a model could be asked about were matched by comparing the category map's
label text to the taxon's name. A label is the name the model was trained under, which is
not always the name the taxon is stored under here, so a difference in spelling or
authorship dropped that species silently. Where every species differs, score() then
reports that the set holds nothing it can predict. Labels are now resolved to taxa and
compared by id, using the same lookup as AlgorithmCategoryMap.with_taxa so the two cannot
disagree about which label means which taxon.

The result also carries the two denominators an accuracy has to be read against: how many
species the set holds, and how many the model can answer for. A head that knows 61 species
scoring 1.00 on the 6 in a set is a fact about the set, and nothing on the page said so.
The job logs both. They are stage params as well, though the current UI renders stage
names and statuses only, so today the log line is where a reader sees it.

Found by review on RolnickLab#1407. Each fix has a test that fails against the behaviour it
replaces: the self-scored occurrence is counted without the first, and the renamed species
is skipped without the second.

Resolve each category label to one taxon before scoring.

If one label matches a taxon’s name and another taxon’s search_names, this query marks both taxa as answerable. score then includes occurrences of both taxa in the accuracy calculation, although one model category cannot identify both. It also overstates species_predictable. Use the category map’s label-to-taxon resolution, and reject or resolve ambiguous matches before building this set.

Superseded. This work now lives in a stack of smaller PRs, plus the evaluation branch:

PR What
#1501 A job type declares what it needs; an algorithm says whether it can be retrained
#1502 Build a training set from verified occurrences, and serve it
#1503 The training job and the contract with the processing service
#1504 Start a retrain from the job form
#1493 Score a classifier against a fixed set of occurrences
