misgraded answer

Post by hugo »

Calibration movie id11706 and id10635 has an obvious track on the left side, but when I clicked on it, the software claimed my answer was false and that there was no track. :( :( :(

I also got two misqualified calibration screen. I forgot to write down their number next time will do.
I am quite annoyed as out of 300 samples they are the only one I got bad rating.

I got this same calibration movie (10494A). It has what I consider to be a fairly obvious track at the top-left. I clicked on the track, and it was graded as incorrect, and my specificity score went down (indicating that the "correct" answer was "no track").

The FAQ (http://stardustathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ ... ght=10494a) says that this movie was fixed, but it marked it incorrectly (or at least I disagree with the way it was marked) at about 10am EDT on August 6th.

I believe that every so called incorrect one I've hit is also a mistake.

And I think that whenever one gets an incorrect hit, that the system should show us where a track is supposed to be or say that there was none... or similar to the training, explain what we are seeing that is not a track if we marked it as such.

The calibration movies are teaching us nothing if it can't show us what we supposedly missed.


update: After reading the faq on this subject, I see what is happening with some of mine. At no time in any of the tutorials or tests does it say to click "precisely on the track". I've just been clicking on the movie with the ones that are blatantly obvious calibration tracks. The lighting is so different in most of those that it's hardly a test to know which are which.

I am also having trouble understanding why I get incorrect answers. I did not realize others were having this problem until I came to the forums. On my last calibration movie, there was no track ( I know to wait for the entire movie image to download, learned the hard way). When I clicked "No Track" the image changed and there was a huge track visible. It was not there before I clicked "No Track". It was like I was seeing a different movie than the one I was graded on. (Didn't get the movie number since I did not think I would need it.)

Now, I question my two other incorrect answers.

Most of you seem to have the opposite problem. seeing tracks that get graded incorrectly. Anyone else having my probem?
