  "content": "<p>Hello everyone.<br>\nI've searched in existing discussions and found some people seemed to be encountering the same issue as I am encountering myself, but did not find any explicit discussion about it.<br>\nSo here is my problem : I am wondering if all the labels are correct or not. For instance, I checked some images belonging to the \"healthy\" class (class 4). I found three images labeled \"healthy\" which seem suspicious :<br>\n1001723730.jpg<br>\n1012902365.jpg<br>\n1022932733.jpg<br>\nOf course, I've never cultivated cassava myself, but these yellow leaves do not seem so healthy… Except if these are old leaves ? These three examples belong to the first 132 lines of the train.csv file, so I assume there are many more such examples.<br>\nThank you very much if you have anything about this !</p>",
