Record any algorithm's results on occurrences in a standard way, and show them in each occurrence's history

[mihow]

Summary

Antenna has had no standard place to keep what an algorithm decides about an occurrence, beyond the classifications it writes. When class masking or the size filter ran, nothing recorded that the run happened, which settings it used, or what it changed; someone opening the occurrence afterwards saw a new prediction from an algorithm with a long generated name and had to guess the rest. This PR adds that standard place: a typed record of any algorithm's results on an occurrence, with the algorithm and job that produced it, the figures only that run knew (validated against a model per kind), a headline value, and the determination before and after. Post-processing methods write them today, and any method that runs inside Antenna after occurrences exist can write them the same way. Each run adds its own record, so the size filter run twice with two thresholds shows up twice. The occurrence page shows these records as one history: results, identifications and predictions in one list, newest first. Every record the history mentions (the species list, the classifier, the capture set, the job) is a link, and a record that has since been deleted shows its id instead of a broken link.

This is the first slice of the occurrence history planned in #1431 and #1457, with the two kinds that have a producer today: class masking and the size filter. Tracking adds its own kind in #1469, and rank roll-ups (#1361) can follow the guide in ami/ml/results/README.md. Outputs that belong to a single detection, such as classifications and the feature vectors in #1462, keep their own tables with the same provenance. Nothing here feeds the determination; a run still changes a taxon only through the classifications it creates. It builds on #1471, which records the job that wrote each detection and classification.

List of Changes

#	Change (what it does for the user, operator or system)	How (implementation)
1	Every occurrence that class masking or the size filter re-scores or flags gets a record of the run: the figures only the run knew (the share of probability outside the list, or how small the detection was) and the determination before and after. Each run adds its own record.	New AlgorithmResult model in the ml app (ami/ml/models/algorithm_result.py): project, occurrence, algorithm, job, kind, value, JSON data validated by a pydantic model per kind (ami/ml/results/schemas.py), timestamp. Rows are only added, through AlgorithmResult.objects.record_many; a retried job reuses the results it already wrote.
2	A run that fails part way can no longer leave changed data behind with no record.	Results are written inside the same transaction as the batch that changes the occurrence's classifications and determination (AlgorithmResultWriter, ami/ml/results/writer.py). The size filter's batch write now runs in a transaction too.
3	The size filter no longer loses its last batch when the final detection it scans has no box.	Its batch write moved to one flush() helper called ahead of the skip checks and once after the loop (own commit).
4	Each classification a run creates knows which run created it, so the history can show a run together with what it changed.	Classification.algorithm_result, nullable SET_NULL, set by class masking and the size filter. Indexed by a partial index built concurrently (see Deployment Notes).
5	A post-processing job records exactly the settings it ran with, defaults included.	PostProcessingJob.run writes the task's validated config back to job.params["config"].
6	The occurrence page shows one history: result cards, identifications and predictions, newest first. A result card is titled by the method, names the classifier and species list it used, shows the prediction the run made (which can be confirmed), the determination before and after, the run's own figures, the original top prediction it replaced, how many detections changed, the job's settings with readable labels, and the job. Prediction cards show the job that wrote them. A prediction a run demoted or outranked keeps its card, labelled as superseded by that run.	GET /occurrences/{id}/history/ with a fixed query count and no score or logit arrays loaded; OccurrenceTimeline replaces the two separate lists on the Identification tab, with the old rendering as the fallback while the history loads.
7	Every record the history names is a link to its page, through one table in the UI. A deleted record shows its id as plain text.	The server returns each id the history shows as a reference, {type, id, name} (name is null when the row no longer exists), resolved with one query per type (ami/main/models_future/references.py). The UI turns a reference into a link with linkFor (ui/src/utils/references.ts).
8	Every post-processing task's settings show with readable labels on its result cards, with no UI change per task.	The history returns a job's settings as [{key, label, value, ref}]; label, order and referenced record all come from the task's config schema, where each field declares them: reference("taxa_list", ..., title="Species list"). One function in the history reads them; a setting without a title shows its key.
9	The history's response format is published in the API schema, so other clients can read it.	The history response is a oneOf of IdentificationEntry, PredictionEntry and AlgorithmResultEntry, told apart by a literal type. A result's data is published as JSON; the server validates it against the kind's pydantic model and the UI types it by kind. One typed component per kind returns once the UI generates its types from the schema (#1482). A result's headline figure is value, not score, since for some kinds (tracking) it is not a confidence.
10	When occurrences are merged (by tracking now, by hand or deduplication later), their run records follow the kept occurrence instead of being deleted with the merged ones.	AlgorithmResult.objects.move_to_occurrence(kept, absorbed_ids): one bulk update. Tracking (#1469) calls it before deleting the absorbed occurrences.
11	The "View occurrences" link on a job's page also lists occurrences the job only recorded results for, such as a tracking run.	A third EXISTS branch on AlgorithmResult(job) in OccurrenceQuerySet.created_or_updated_by_job() (the ?job= filter from #1471), with a (job, occurrence) index on the new table.
12	A new kind of result (tracking, rank roll-ups) needs no database migration.	kind is a plain CharField without choices; the registry of data models is the list of kinds. See "Adding a kind" below.
13	The classification page in the Django admin stays usable as results accumulate.	algorithm_result is an id input (raw_id_fields) rather than a select of every result.
14	Each post-processing task says which kinds of result it writes, next to its settings: the first step toward pipeline stages that declare their inputs and outputs.	BasePostProcessingTask.result_models; a test checks that every declared model is a registered kind, and each task's tests check that what it writes is declared.

Detailed Description

What a result is, and what it is not

AlgorithmResult records a run; the determination never reads it. update_occurrence_determination is untouched: it still picks the best identification, else the best prediction, and a masked or flagged classification wins exactly as before this PR because it is the terminal classification with the top score.

Each kind has its own pydantic model in ami/ml/results/schemas.py, and a kind without a model cannot be written. A model records only what the run alone knows; anything that lives elsewhere is left out: the settings are on the job, the classifications a run created point at the result, the new taxon is on those classifications, and the original top prediction is the classification a masked one replaced (applied_to). Every model also has extra, a free-form JSON object for whatever else a method or processing service returns. Nothing reads extra for logic: it is stored, shown and exported only, and when a feature needs a value from it, that value becomes a typed field on the kind's model.

ami/ml/results/schemas.py is the only module that calls pydantic's API for results, and it imports nothing from Django or the rest of Antenna. That keeps it importable from models, writers, serializers and settings, and it means the pydantic v2 upgrade touches one file for results. It is separate from ami/ml/schemas.py, which is the contract with processing services and must not know about Antenna concepts.

Kind	data	value
class_masking	excluded_probability, the share of probability outside the list (one minus the kept mass of the unmasked softmax; a measure of what the list removed, not an out-of-distribution score), new_winner_original_rank (where the class that wins after masking ranked before; 1 means it was already the top), determination_before_id, determination_after_id, extra. An occurrence with several re-scored detections takes the figures of its winning detection, the one whose masked classification scores highest.	excluded_probability
size_filter	relative_size (the detection's box area as a fraction of its image), determination_before_id, determination_after_id, extra. An occurrence with several flagged detections takes the smallest.	relative_size

value repeats the kind's headline figure so lists can filter and sort on it; a partial index covers rows with a value.

How this fits the post-processing framework

The post-processing framework (ami/ml/post_processing/) already covers the input side of a method: a task class with a key, a name and a pydantic config_schema, a registry, an admin action that creates a post_processing job, and PostProcessingJob.run, which validates the config and runs the task with its own Algorithm and the job. This PR adds the output side. What a task changes still goes through the classifications it creates, now linked to the job, to the result and, when they replace one, to the original (applied_to). What it decided about each occurrence goes into an algorithm result of the task's kind, written in the same transaction as each batch. The history shows that result with the job's settings, labelled and linked from the same config_schema, so one schema describes a task's settings for validation, the admin form, the stored job and the result card. Processing services cannot write results: their contract has no place for them and must not name occurrences, which Antenna creates. A stage that runs inside Antenna after occurrences exist can write them without being a task. Each task declares the kinds it writes in result_models, next to config_schema for its settings. More in ami/ml/results/README.md.

Adding a kind, and why kind has no choices

Step-by-step instructions, with rank roll-up (#1361) as the worked example: ami/ml/results/README.md, which also covers adding another kind of history entry (such as the vectors from #1462).

Adding a kind is one pydantic model that names its kind and its value_field, listed in ALGORITHM_RESULT_DATA_MODELS, with no migration and no serializer or OpenAPI change. Every write path validates data against the model and copies the figure value_field names into value, so the two cannot disagree. The task that writes the kind declares it in result_models, and declares a title (and, for ids, a reference type with reference()) on each field of its config schema, which the result card uses for the setting's label and link.

Keeping kind a plain CharField gives up no database integrity. Django's choices are not enforced by PostgreSQL: the SQL Django generates for a CharField with choices is a plain varchar(32) with no check constraint (verified with the schema editor's collected SQL). They only feed forms, the admin and full_clean(), none of which write results. Every write path (save, record, record_many, bulk_create, bulk_update) validates data against the kind's model, so a kind without a registered model is refused on all of them. A raw queryset.update() or SQL would bypass choices and the registry alike. The history endpoint reads a stored row of an unregistered kind (renamed, or written by a branch with an extra kind) without failing, and the UI skips it.

The alternative with real integrity is a database CHECK constraint listing the kinds. It would bring back a migration for every new kind, which is what this choice avoids.

Moving results when occurrences merge

AlgorithmResult.objects.move_to_occurrence(kept, absorbed_ids) reassigns the results of absorbed occurrences to the kept one in a single update, so their history follows the merge. Tracking (#1469) calls it before deleting the absorbed occurrences, whose results would otherwise be deleted with them. Results are only ever added, so a moved result needs no reconciling with the kept occurrence's own. Occurrences of another project are refused, so a result is never filed under a project other than its occurrence's.

How a result is linked to the classifications it created

Class masking creates one new classification per re-scored source classification; the size filter creates one "Not identifiable" classification per flagged detection. Each new classification carries algorithm_result, the result of the run that created it. The result row is therefore created first: on the first batch that touches an occurrence, AlgorithmResultWriter.start_batch writes the result (with determination_before_id), sets algorithm_result on the batch's new classifications, and the batch then inserts them and saves the occurrences. finish_batch records the determination after those saves and the occurrence's best figures so far. An occurrence whose detections span several batches keeps the one result from its first batch and has it updated, so every occurrence a run touches has exactly one result from that run. A retried job finds the results it already wrote and reuses them.

algorithm_result is the only link between a result and classifications; a classification that shares a result's job but was not created for it stays an ordinary prediction. Pipeline classifications leave it empty.

The link is one-to-many and makes no assumption about how a run writes: a result may own several classifications on one detection, and they may be written under the source classifier's own algorithm. That matters for rank roll-ups (#857), which create new classifications at genus, family and higher ranks from a terminal classification's scores; they become a rank_rollup kind with its own data model and need nothing else from this PR.

The grouping rule in the history

occurrence_timeline (ami/main/models_future/history.py) loads the occurrence's results, then the classifications whose algorithm_result names one of them, and then, in one more query, the classifications those replaced (through applied_to). The replaced rows are read with .only() rather than select_related("applied_to"), because .defer() does not reach a self-join and the score arrays would load. A replaced classification that was deleted comes back as replaced: null.

The created classifications are returned inside their result entry, best score first, and are left out of the prediction entries. Every other algorithm contributes one prediction, its best, with the job that wrote it. A prediction is marked with superseded_by_result_id when one of a result's classifications re-scored it (through applied_to, as class masking does) or when a result's classification that re-scored nothing sits on the same detection and outranks it as a terminal prediction (as the size filter does). The UI labels such a card "Superseded by class masking" or "Superseded by size filter".

Finally, every id the entries show (job settings such as taxa_list_id, and data fields a kind declares as references) is collected and resolved to {type, id, name} with one query per type of record. The history endpoint's query count does not grow with the number of entries: a test pins it at 11 for a history with results, created and replaced classifications, identifications, predictions and one type of referenced record, over one and three rounds of entries.

Project on the new table

AlgorithmResult.project is NOT NULL and copied from the occurrence when the row is written. An occurrence without a project is a data problem tracked on #1188: record_many skips its result with a warning, so the run's other occurrences still get theirs, and save() raises. The occurrence is still re-scored.

Endpoint

GET /api/v2/occurrences/{id}/history/?project_id= returns a flat list, newest first. It is available to members of the occurrence's project, including for an occurrence that the project's default filters hide from lists and from the detail view (that view returns 404 for it, as it does on main).

Ref                         {type, id, name|null}          name is null when the row no longer exists
Taxon                       {id, name, rank}
Job                         {id, name, config|null, settings: [{key, label, value, ref: Ref|null}]}
every entry                 {type, id, timestamp, user|null, algorithm|null, job|null, taxon|null, score|null}
AlgorithmResultEntry        + {type: "algorithm_result", kind, value|null, data: JSON validated by the kind's model,
                               determination_before|null, determination_after|null,
                               classifications: [{id, taxon|null, score|null, terminal, detection_id,
                                                  replaced: {id, taxon|null, score|null}|null}]}
IdentificationEntry         + {type: "identification", details: {comment, withdrawn,
                               agreed_with_identification_id|null, agreed_with_prediction_id|null}}
PredictionEntry             + {type: "prediction", details: {detection_id, terminal, applied_to_id|null,
                               superseded_by_result_id|null}}

score is a prediction's score and is null for other entries. A result's headline figure is value (see its kind); a result's taxon is null, and its determination is in determination_after. A setting's label is the title the task's config schema gives it, or the key when it declares none.

Writing a result from a new method

Results go through record / record_many, which validate data against the kind's pydantic model, and copy the project from the occurrence. Results are only added: a later run's result sits beside the earlier ones.

from ami.ml.models import AlgorithmResult
from ami.ml.results.schemas import SizeFilterResultData

AlgorithmResult.objects.record(
    occurrence=occurrence,
    algorithm=algorithm,
    job=job,
    kind=SizeFilterResultData.kind,
    data=SizeFilterResultData(relative_size=0.012, determination_before_id=101, determination_after_id=None),
)

A batched run should use ami.ml.results.writer.AlgorithmResultWriter instead. It writes results in the batch's own transaction and points the batch's new classifications at them. value is always copied from the field the kind's value_field names. Unknown keys in data are rejected; anything without a typed field goes in extra.

How to Test

1. Start the stack and create the demo project: docker compose run --rm django python manage.py create_demo_project.
2. Run the random pipeline over the demo capture set as an ML job (the demo fixture's own classifications have no logits, which class masking needs). Set the project's "reprocess all images" flag first.
3. Create a species list that leaves out one of the three random species, and run a post-processing job with {"task": "class_masking", "config": {"source_image_collection_id": ..., "taxa_list_id": ..., "algorithm_id": <random species classifier>}}.
4. Run a size filter job with a threshold the random boxes fall under, such as 0.05.
5. Open an occurrence from each run: GET /api/v2/occurrences/{id}/history/?project_id=1 and the Identification tab of the occurrence page. Delete the species list and reload: the species list row shows its id as plain text.
6. Backend: python manage.py test ami.main.test_occurrence_history ami.ml.results ami.ml.post_processing ami.main.tests.TestOccurrenceJobFilter. Frontend: cd ui && yarn lint && npx tsc --noEmit && yarn test.

End-to-end check (done)

On an isolated local stack with synthetic data, at 56197bd, every job ran through a real Celery worker and was started from the Django admin: an ML job, class masking, the size filter at two thresholds, and retries. Measured:

• Every job went PENDING → STARTED → SUCCESS with stage progress at 100% and its counters filled (for example 24 checked, 5 flagged, 5 occurrences updated).
• On a 300-capture set, updated_at moved at every batch (largest gap about 2.3 s), well inside the 10-minute stale-job cutoff; check_stale_jobs() left every job alone.
• All results had value equal to their data field and project equal to their occurrence's; every classification a run created carried its algorithm_result and job; the history endpoint returned the expected entries, newest first.
• Retrying a size filter job added no results and no classifications. Two runs at different thresholds on one occurrence gave two results and exactly one "Not identifiable" classification per detection.

Not covered: the async (NATS) dispatch path, which post-processing jobs do not use, and a non-member calling the history endpoint (covered by the permission tests).

Screenshots

The Identification tab of an occurrence on a local stack with synthetic data, after an ML job, class masking and two size filter runs, all run through the Celery worker from the Django admin.

Class masking moved the determination from a species outside the list to one inside it. The card names the classifier and species list, shows the new prediction with its Apply ID button, the share of probability the list removed, the original top prediction, the job's settings with readable labels and links, and the job.

The size filter run twice on one occurrence with two detections: at 9.5% it flagged the smaller detection and changed the determination; at 20% it flagged the larger one, and the determination was already "Not identifiable". Each run is its own card, with the detection's size next to the threshold that run used.

The classifier's original prediction keeps its card, labelled as superseded by the class masking run that replaced it.

Deployment Notes

• Merge Record which job created each detection and classification, and filter occurrences by job #1471 first; this PR's migrations depend on its main/0096 and main/0097.
• Three migrations. ml/0029_algorithm_result creates the result table and is quick. main/0098_classification_algorithm_result adds one nullable foreign key column to main_classification without an index, so the ALTER TABLE lock is held only for a metadata change. main/0099_classification_algorithm_result_index builds a partial index on that column CONCURRENTLY in a non-atomic migration, the same pattern as Record which job created each detection and classification, and filter occurrences by job #1471's 0097: it does not block writes, and the index stays close to empty because pipeline classifications never have a result.
• ml/0029 is also claimed by Store feature vectors from any model for every detection, indexed for the ways they are read #1462 (ml/0029_algorithm_embedding_dimensions). Whichever merges second renumbers its migration.
• Dev databases that applied an earlier round of this branch (a result table created by a main migration) should be rebuilt by replay rather than upgraded in place: roll back or drop the draft table and its migration rows, migrate, and re-run the post-processing jobs.
• Rows written before this change have no algorithm_result and show in the history as ordinary predictions. No backfill is needed.
• SPECTACULAR_SETTINGS gains ENUM_NAME_OVERRIDES for the three entry types' literal type values (no application imports in settings). No environment changes.

What is deferred

• ValidationReview, the comment endpoint and the comment card: deferred until tracking's grouping confirmation or a comment-box PR needs them.
• Capture and session targets for results: added when the first method that runs on captures or sessions arrives. Results stay a plain occurrence foreign key, so a target column can be added beside it.
• applied_to → RESTRICT, so a replaced classification cannot be deleted from under the history: Keep the classification a post-processing run replaced, so occurrence history cannot lose it #1472. Until then a deleted original shows as replaced: null.
• The pydantic v2 audit: results call pydantic's API in one module only, so the result side of that upgrade is contained.
• Typed per-kind result components in the API schema, and OpenAPI → TypeScript generation in the UI: Publish typed algorithm result kinds in the API once the UI generates its types from it #1482. The hand-written history types mirror the server's data models until then.
• The tracking result kind (merges, statistics): Run automated tracking from the admin as a post-processing method, with editable settings #1469, which adds a model, a registry entry and its card.
• The rank_rollup result kind for rank roll-ups ([Draft] Taxon rank classifications ("rank roll-ups") #857): a model and a registry entry when that method lands.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0994d

Confirm that occurrence merges cannot cross projects, or keep result projects aligned when they do, before merging. Job-setting labels also need to follow the frontend translation requirement.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 67817

The occurrence itself remains access-controlled, and processing changes are recorded transactionally. However, the new history response expands linked jobs and record names without separately checking their visibility. Cross-project links could expose private metadata; whether such links exist in production remains unverified.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: The new history response inherits authorization from the occurrence but expands linked job configuration and referenced record names without independent visibility checks. If a visible occurrence carries a private cross-project job or reference, its readers can receive metadata they could not retrieve directly. Ordinary producer ownership alignment reduces likelihood, but neither stored-link consistency nor production exposure has been established.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The supported conditional exposure is application metadata reachable through an affected occurrence: linked job settings and referenced names or identifiers. Public occurrences can be read anonymously. The inspected path does not establish arbitrary record enumeration, credential access, or infrastructure authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A reader who cannot view a linked private record could obtain its metadata by requesting an otherwise visible occurrence's history. This requires an existing cross-visibility link supplied by a producer or privileged writer; ordinary HTTP control of arbitrary history reference IDs and production instances of this condition were not demonstrated.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Anonymous users are restricted to non-draft project occurrences; authenticated owners and members can additionally see their draft projects. Normal result writes derive the project from the occurrence when absent, and the inspected admin builder assigns jobs from the selected object's project resolver. Explicit result ownership and linked job consistency are not validated by result save or recording.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Retries retain the job ID but recreate the writer's in-memory result map. The size filter can revisit previously flagged detections and create additional history rows for the same job. This limits attempt-level audit interpretation, but does not establish an authorization failure or a new determination-control bypass.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Make expanded job and reference visibility requester-aware, and define whether cross-project links are permitted. Enforce permitted ownership relationships at result creation and movement, with private-reference and mismatched-job cases exercising the history boundary. If retries must identify distinct attempts, persist an explicit attempt identity rather than relying solely on the job ID.

How does this interact with the update_determination() method? What happens when the output of class-masking or tracking or another post-processing method change the species classification? Does it create a Classification card in addition to the AlgorithmResult card in the Occurrence identification timeline?

Why does ValidationReview inherit from AlgorithmOutput?

Provide and ERD diagram of the new & related models.

Make it clear what attaching Job to existing models provides.

Create screenshots of the new Occurrence timeline view and other affected views.

Are there opportunities to simplify this PR?

[mihow]

Claude says: This is a structural review of the branch as it stands at aadc2dbc. It answers the questions above and proposes a smaller shape before anyone spends time on a line-by-line review. The short version: the branch builds more general machinery than the design ticket (#1431) asked for, and the tracking work does not depend on most of it. There is a middle ground that keeps what is useful now.

Answers to the questions

1. How does this interact with update_determination(), and which cards show after class masking?

Class masking creates a new final Classification for each detection whose scores it changes (class_masking.py:180-200). The new row records the masking algorithm and the job, and links to the original through applied_to. The original is demoted to non-final. Masking then saves each occurrence with update_determination=True (:227). That picks the best prediction by final-first, then score, so the masked classification wins exactly as it did before this PR. After the batches, masking writes one AlgorithmResult per occurrence (:246), holding the species list, the detection ids, and the determination before and after. The determination never reads AlgorithmResult; it is a record of the run, not an input. That should be stated in the model docstring.

On the timeline, the masked classification gets no card of its own. The history endpoint hides every prediction whose algorithm also left a result (history.py:124-140). The result card then finds that prediction again by algorithm id and shows it as its "Prediction" row, with the Agree button. The original classifier's prediction card still shows. So there is one result card plus the original prediction card, with no duplicate. This works only because masking writes under its own algorithm; nothing in the data links the result to the classifications it created.

2. Why does ValidationReview inherit from AlgorithmOutput?

It does not (models.py:4031 subclasses BaseModel). The PR description implied it did. Only AlgorithmResult uses the base, plus Embedding in #1462. A three-field base shared by two models does not earn its place and can be inlined.

3. ERD of the new and related models as they exist on the branch. "No writer" marks fields and links that nothing in this PR populates.

4. What attaching Job to existing models provides.

Today almost nothing reads it. The only reader is Job.has_stored_outputs, used by the delete check; no serializer, filter, export or UI shows it. What it enables is real: undoing a run, filtering or counting outputs per run, grouping the timeline by run, and knowing which run produced a row when an Algorithm is reused. The cost is the new column on main_classification, about 4.5 GB on a copy of production data. It is added in the same atomic migration as everything else, so that table stays locked for the whole migration. Recommendation: keep the column, expose it read-only in the detection and classification serializers so "Closes #1156" is accurate, and move the two AddField operations into their own migration.

5. Screenshots. Screenshots from a local stack are being taken and will follow in a separate comment. Only the occurrence Identification tab changes visibly.

6. Simplification. See the middle-ground proposal below.

Findings

1. The schema is wider than its producers. AlgorithmResult has three targets, but only occurrences are written. ValidationReview has four targets, six aspects and three verdicts, but only comments are written. The value, identification, reviewed_result and withdrawn fields have no writer. #1431 chose concrete, occurrence-only tables for exactly this reason.
2. RESTRICT on the result's job drives about a third of the PR. Job.hidden, the 409 on delete, include_hidden, the station SET_NULL change and the jobs/0024 migration all exist to work around it. Classification.job and Detection.job in the same PR already use SET_NULL; using it on the result too removes all of that.
3. Possible partial failure in class masking. The result rows are written after the batch loop, outside the batch transactions. The project helper raises when an occurrence has neither a project nor a station, and a copy of production data has 76 such occurrences. A run touching one of them would change every classification and determination, then fail with no result rows. Writing the results inside each batch, and taking the project from the occurrence with a warning instead of an error, avoids this.
4. The tracking stack does not depend on this PR. #1272 has no references to AlgorithmResult or ValidationReview, and #1462 uses only the base fields and the project helper. Both can stand on main.
5. The description claims more than the code does. Reviews pointing at a result, and withdrawn reviews, have no writer. The mismatch check is only called from tests. "Closes #1156" holds only once the job is exposed in the API.

A middle ground

Between keeping everything and the smallest possible cut, this keeps what the timeline and tracking will use, and defers what has no producer yet.

Keep	Change	Defer
AlgorithmResult for occurrences: algorithm, job, kind, data, timestamp, is_current	Job link SET_NULL; results written inside each batch; project copied from the occurrence	Capture and session targets, value
Classification.job, Detection.job	Exposed in the serializers; their own migration
A link between a run's result and the classifications it created	The timeline groups a run's result with the classifications it created, by job, instead of hiding predictions by algorithm
ValidationReview for occurrences, with comment now and grouping from #1272	Drop the detection, capture and session targets and the identification link	Other aspects and verdicts, until someone performs them
Validated settings on Job.params; the history endpoint; the timeline UI	Inline the base fields; replace the shared project helper with a copy from the parent	Job.hidden, the 409, the station change, jobs/0024; the mismatch check moves to #1453

On the link between results and classifications: every new classification and every result already carries its job, so (job, occurrence) identifies which classifications a result produced without a new column. An explicit foreign key from Classification to AlgorithmResult would make the link durable, and would let ordinary pipeline classifications have a result too. That is worth deciding before the migration is final.

With this shape, #1461 and #1462 can both be based on main and get CI independently. Tracking (#1272) then rebases onto #1462 only, and adds its tracking result kind and grouping review when it is ready.

Smaller cleanups (low priority)

• Split the size filter's batching refactor out of the "record results" commit so it can be reviewed on its own.
• Several queryset helpers (for_job, of_kind, current, answering, in_project) have no callers.
• HistoryJobSerializer.get_config silently returns null for a non-dict config; say so in its help text.

The branch as it stands passes its checks (776 backend tests; UI lint, type check and unit tests), so whichever shape is chosen starts from working code.

[mihow]

Claude says: Diagrams for the middle-ground shape from the review above, updated with one decision from the review discussion. When a post-processing result creates a classification, the classification links to that result explicitly. Three diagrams follow: the models with a shared base class, the same models without it, and the whole proposal, with the parts pinned for later shown dashed and grey.

Decision reflected here

Classification.algorithm_result is a nullable foreign key (SET_NULL) to the AlgorithmResult that created it. Class masking sets it on each classification it adds, so a result card can list exactly the classifications it produced, instead of the timeline hiding predictions by algorithm. Ordinary pipeline classifications leave it empty for now; a pipeline run could write a result per occurrence later and use the same link. The timeline groups a run's result with its classifications by job.

1. With a shared base class

The shared base holds the fields every algorithm output has. It is abstract, so it creates no table; each concrete model gets its own copy of the columns.

    AlgorithmResult "1" <-- "0..*" ValidationReview : reviewed_result

Loading

AlgorithmResult is in #1461, Embedding and DetectionEmbedding in #1462. With only two concrete subclasses today, the base saves three field declarations. It earns more once SourceImageEmbedding and TaxonEmbedding arrive, through the Embedding base rather than AlgorithmOutput.

2. Without a shared base class

The same tables with the fields written out on each model. The database is identical either way; only the Python code differs.

        timestamp
    }
    AlgorithmResult "1" <-- "0..*" Classification : algorithm_result
    AlgorithmResult "1" <-- "0..*" ValidationReview : reviewed_result

Loading

Trade-off: without the base, each model reads on its own and nothing implies a shared contract that is not used. With it, adding a new output model cannot forget the job or timestamp. A reasonable middle is to keep only the Embedding base in #1462 and write AlgorithmResult's fields out.

Tracking (#1272) adds the tracking result kind and the grouping review aspect on the blue tables, and keeps the grouping_verified_at / grouping_verified_by fields on Occurrence as the quick-to-read current state.

[mihow]

Claude says: Answers to the questions above, for the branch as it now stands (head d2a003b). The design has changed since the diagrams in the previous reply: the shared base class and ValidationReview are gone, so those diagrams are out of date. The PR description is rewritten to match and has new screenshots.

1. How results interact with update_occurrence_determination, and whether a run shows two cards. The determination never reads AlgorithmResult. When class masking or the size filter changes a species, it does so only by writing a classification, as on main, and the determination picks it up the same way as any other prediction. The result is the run's record beside it: the figures only the run knew, plus the determination before and after. In the timeline, each run is one card. The classifications a run created are shown inside its result card, not as separate prediction cards. The prediction the run demoted or outranked keeps its own card, labelled "Superseded by class masking" or "Superseded by size filter". Screenshots 1 and 4 in the description show both cases.

2. Why ValidationReview inherited from AlgorithmOutput. Both are removed. The base class existed so reviews and results could share columns, but nothing used it polymorphically. Comments have no input box yet, so ValidationReview is deferred until tracking's grouping confirmation or a comment box needs it.

3. ERD of the new and related models.

    Project ||--o{ AlgorithmResult : "project"
    Occurrence ||--o{ AlgorithmResult : "occurrence (CASCADE)"
    Algorithm ||--o{ AlgorithmResult : "algorithm (the method)"

        float value "headline figure, partial index on current rows"
        json data "validated by a pydantic model per kind, plus free-form extra"
        bool is_current "false once a later run of the same method replaces it"
        datetime timestamp
    }

Loading

Only AlgorithmResult is a new table. The other three relations are new nullable columns on existing tables, in their own migration (main/0097).

4. What attaching Job to detections and classifications provides.

• Every detection and classification can name the run that wrote it, and through job.params["config"] the exact settings that run used, defaults included. On main, all you can tell is which algorithm wrote a row.
• The timeline uses it to group a run's classifications under its result, including rows written before the algorithm_result link existed.
• It is the basis for later work this PR does not build: listing or undoing everything one bad run wrote, and per-run comparisons for the tracking benchmark.

Rows written before this PR keep job empty. No backfill is needed.

5. Screenshots. Five are in the description: masking that changed the determination, masking that left it unchanged, a human identification followed by masking, the size filter, and an occurrence no run has touched.

6. Simplification. Already cut from this PR:

• ValidationReview and the comment endpoint;
• the shared base class;
• hidden jobs and the 409 on deletion;
• the station change;
• the project-scope helper (left to Keep a project column on every project-scoped model and enforce it in the database #1453).

What remains is one table, one link column on classifications, and the two job columns. Results stay on occurrences only. When a method that runs on captures or sessions arrives, a target column can sit beside the occurrence foreign key, so nothing here blocks that.

The one larger simplification would be dropping the table and storing each run's figures as a JSON field on Classification. That was rejected because some runs write no classification (tracking merges and statistics, and methods on raw captures), and those would have nowhere to record their output.

Call this OccurrenceTimelineEntry. Also review the schema. It seems like there are artifacts of multiple revisions here. what is original_taxon vs taxon_before. What should be on the top-level object vs. in the "payload" (which could use a better name). If some attributes from specific post-processing algorithms & ML pipelines need to be on the top level of this class for efficiency or framework limitations, then organize them in sections and note which fields are specific to which types of output.

[mihow]

Claude says: Renamed to OccurrenceTimelineEntry and organised in sections (every entry / algorithm result / identification and prediction), with a note on each field saying which entry types fill it (fadf0ab). The leftovers from earlier rounds are gone:

• payload is split into data (a result's figures, validated against its kind's model) and details (identification and prediction fields). subtype is now kind.
• original_taxon was the source classifier's top prediction before masking, also stored in data. It is now read from the classification the masked one replaced (applied_to), and each created classification carries replaced: {id, taxon, score} | null. Nothing about it is stored on the result any more (0806791).
• taxon_before and a result's taxon are now determination_before / determination_after; a result's top-level taxon is null.
• taxa_list and source_algorithm are gone from the top level: every record the history names comes back as a {type, id, name} reference (job.references, data_references).

The response is published as a oneOf of IdentificationEntry, PredictionEntry and one <Kind>ResultEntry per kind (053afe2). The contract table is in the PR body under Endpoint.

How can an occurrence belong to no project? Is this working around the symptom of an integrity issue that needs to be fixed?

[mihow]

Claude says: Yes, it is an integrity problem, and this branch no longer works around it. Occurrence.project is a nullable SET_NULL foreign key, and a copy of production data has a few dozen occurrences without one. The station fallback is removed (0806791): a result takes occurrence.project_id only. When that is null, record_many skips that occurrence's result with a warning so the run's other occurrences still get theirs, and save() raises. The occurrence is still re-scored. The underlying data problem is tracked on #1188, where a comment proposes an integrity check for occurrences without a project.

[mihow]

can this go in ml/models/ instead?

[mihow]

Claude says: Moved (0806791). AlgorithmResult and its queryset are in ami/ml/models/algorithm_result.py, exported from ami.ml.models, and the table is now ml_algorithmresult (migration ml/0029_algorithm_result). Classification.algorithm_result points at ml.AlgorithmResult.

[mihow]

I suggest we call this AlgorithmResultData and keep it in the ami/ml/schemas. We also have existing homes for specific post processing algorithm code in ami/ml/post_processing/class_masking.py etc. How can we stay more organized and avoid circular imports?

[mihow]

Claude says: Named AlgorithmResultData (0806791), but in a new ami/ml/results/schemas.py rather than ami/ml/schemas.py. ami/ml/schemas.py is the contract with processing services and must not know about Antenna concepts such as occurrences or results.

The new module is what avoids circular imports. It imports only pydantic, nothing from Django or ami.*, so the model, the writer, the serializers and even settings can all import it while it imports none of them. It is also the only place results call pydantic's API, so the v2 upgrade touches one file for results. Method code stays where it was (ami/ml/post_processing/class_masking.py and small_size_filter.py), and the batch writer sits beside the schemas in ami/ml/results/writer.py.

[mihow]

Is this a noun or a verb? I suggest AlgorithmResultsBatch or ProcessingResultsBatch

[mihow]

Claude says: It was meant as a noun but read like a verb, agreed. Renamed to AlgorithmResultWriter and moved to ami/ml/results/writer.py (0806791). I went with Writer over Batch because one instance lives across all of a run's batches: it creates an occurrence's result in the first batch that touches it and updates that same result in later batches.

[mihow]

More questions:

• Are algorithm results created for our normal ML Pipeline classification tasks as well? Or is AlgorithmResult optional? Should it in the future?
• Can we show the job ID & link on regular classification cards as well?
• How are links in the timeline card data determined to be links and how do they become valid links? e.g. I see the Job shows a title and is linked to the Job, but Capture Set only shows an ID. I can imagine that this logic & code could be quite messy.
• What opportunities remain for simplification in this PR? Without loosing robustness?
• Add a final ERD diagram to the main PR body after are naming and organization is settled
• Will the addition of the job relationship to our models enable us to filter occurrences by job? (which I suppose means "job that created or modified on them in any way"
