## Model details
- Developed by the Kudela Lab from the Ocean Sciences Department at University of California, Santa Cruz.
- Current version trained in February, 2023.
- Version 1.0
- phytoClassUCSC is a depthwise- CNN based on the Xception architecture [Chollet, F., 2017](https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.02357) with 134 layers using weights pretrained on ImageNet.
- An average pooling layer is used.

## Intended use
This model was designed and trained to work with IFCB data generated in Monterey Bay. While that does not mean it may not perform well in other locations, the distribution of training images reflects common phytoplankton observed at the Santa Cruz Wharf and Power Buoy locations.
Independent model validation should be used when applying the model to other sites.
Review section 4.2 of the [model cards paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.03993).
### Primary intended uses
Generalized phytoplankton classifier for common taxa found in the Monterey Bay. This
### Primary intended users
Researchers intersted in a general.
### Out-of-scope use cases
Observing and identifying rare or non-endemic taxa.
## Factors
Model classes were chosen based on common and resolvable phytoplankton taxa. Taxonomic groupings were chosen based on what researchers in the lab felt groups that could be confidently identified, given the expertise and research intersts of the lab.
### Instrument
Model was trained on images from Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) instruments primary deployed at the Santa Cruz Wharf and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) Power Buoy. The Santa Cruz Wharf IFCB (#104) is an early generation

### Relevant factors
### Evaluation factors
## Metrics
_The appropriate metrics to feature in a model card depend on the type of model that is being tested.
For example, classification systems in which the primary output is a class label differ significantly
from systems whose primary output is a score. In all cases, the reported metrics should be determined
based on the model’s structure and intended use._

### Model performance measures
### Decision thresholds
### Approaches to uncertainty and variability
## Evaluation data
_All referenced datasets would ideally point to any set of documents that provide visibility into the
source and composition of the dataset. Evaluation datasets should include datasets that are publicly
available for third-party use. These could be existing datasets or new ones provided alongside the model
card analyses to enable further benchmarking._

## Quantitative analyses
_Quantitative analyses should be disaggregated, that is, broken down by the chosen factors. Quantitative
analyses should provide the results of evaluating the model according to the chosen metrics, providing
confidence interval values when possible._
