I’m looking at the data portal and at least the last 300 waste complaints have no details (details field just says “Human/Animal waste” or is empty) - how did you figure out if they’re dog poop or misclassified?

Look at the mobile uploads. They have photos attached
What is the methodology for classifying human vs. animal waste?
This. Would love to know but am not willing to scan photos of excrement to do my own analysis. I have my own personal experience of living in SF for 10 years, in the Mission. I’ve seen a lot of human looking fecal matter.
This is why man invented machine learning...
lol, are you combing through photos of poop and categorizing them?? yeah right
