Sending to identification and using Hotspottter ML also?

What Wildbook are you working in? Internet of Turtles

What is the entire URL out of the browser, exactly where the error occurred?

Can you describe what the issue is you’re experiencing?
The option for sending to identification in the Bulk Import area does not allow the selection of the additional Hotspotter algorithm, but individual matching does. Is there a way to do this without individually beginning matches?

Can you provide steps on how to reproduce what you’re experiencing?

If this is a bulk import report, send the spreadsheet to services@wildme.org with the email subject line matching your bug report

Hi @GoBeach

Great question. We generally do not support HotSpotter with bulk import because it can be very slow, especially when candidate Encounters to match against get into the thousands. That said, HotSpotter is still a great tool for matching.

Would an acceptable alternative to full HotSpotter on bulk import be to run HotSpotter only on unidentified Encounters after MiewID processing has allowed you to make some matches? Or do you think simultaneous HotSpotter and MiewID would be best?
