<strong>Model</strong>

IRC Species Classification Model v3.6, trained with the <a href="https://github.com/zaandahl/mewc">MEWC</a> framework. EfficientNetV2 Small at 384x384, Keras 3.3.3, 18 classes. The weights file <code>IRC.Species.Classification.Model.keras</code> is the unmodified asset of GitHub release v3.6.1 (sha256 <code>9ca887db2dac4067a532465e6cc18e71320639123c2a3d2d8bb42ce8ba1af6af</code>). Held-out test set of 3,669 images: overall accuracy 96.9%, macro F1 0.966 (numbers from the developer's README).

<strong>Files</strong>

<ul> <li><code>inference.py</code>: AddaxAI ModelInference implementation (TensorFlow backend).</li> <li><code>class_list.yaml</code>: the developer's class map, unmodified. Its values are the training-table order written by mewc-train, not the model's output indices; the model outputs follow the class names in alphabetical order (scikit-learn LabelEncoder), which is how <code>inference.py</code> and mewc-predict read them. Class names are emitted lowercase.</li> <li><code>taxonomy.csv</code>: class to taxonomy mapping for the AddaxAI filter tree, resolved against GBIF.</li> <li><code>LICENSE</code>: CC BY-NC 4.0, as published by the developer.</li> </ul>
