To follow up on this, we’re actively working on better explainability on the match score page so that users have more information as to what the rankings, scores, and inspection results represent. You may have seen Community posts from our collaborators at CMU as part of this effort.
You can when you select “Start another match” from the menu on the image form a encounter page. You’ll see checkboxes next to the default algorithm for a species and you can uncheck the one next to Hotspotter.
In general though, there isn’t a way to pre-select this before the first attempt to run ID in either bulk import or the manual upload page. We have default algorithms configured for each species that will run automatically when encounters are uploaded. That said, once we have enough feedback about MiewID performance in IoT, Hotspotter will be disabled.
