          "content": "<p>Hi, I'm new here too, let me know if you want to join up as a team, as I am looking. <br>\nI actually just read the answerto your question about the \"Once a correct label has been scored for an observation, that label is no longer considered relevant for that observation, and additional predictions of that label are skipped in the calculation.\" in a notebook someone shared which I unfortunately can't find now. <br>\nbut basically because you give five possible answers for each image, in order of likelihood. If the first answer is correct it receives the full score of 1 for that image. if the second answer is the correct whale/dolphin you receive a score of 1/2 for that image, and if the third is correct you receive a score of 1/3 for that image. etc. so once the correct label is scored (based on where it was in your lineup of the five most likely whales/dolphins, per image) then it moves on to the next image, since it could not be any of the following subsequent whales/dolphins in that list for that image, there is not need to check them.<br>\nFor example if for image 1 you have your five predicted whales and the second whale is the actual correct whale for that image. youd receive a score of 0 for the first whale (since it was wrong) and then a score of 1/2 for thes second whale (since it was the correct whale), then it would no longer need to continue checking if the third, fourth or fifth whale were correct, since the correct whale had already been identified in your second guess, (and the remaining three whales would produce a score of 0). youd get the score of 0(for the first guess)+1/2(for the second guess)=1/2 (total score for image 1). It would be a waste of time/energy to check the remaining whales/dolphins since logically they could not be the correct answer and therefore would only produce scores of 0 to be unnecessarily added.</p>",
