 The **ML assisted labeling** page lets you trigger automatic machine learning models to accelerate the labeling task. At the beginning of your labeling project, the images are shuffled into a random order to reduce potential bias. However, any biases that are present in the dataset will be reflected in the trained model. For example, if 80% of your images are of a single class, then approximately 80% of the data used to train the model will be of that class. This training does not include active learning.

 ### Clustering
 
-After a certain number of labels are submitted, the machine learning model starts to group together similar images.  These similar images are presented to the labelers on the same screen to speed up manual tagging. Clustering is especially useful when the labeler is viewing a grid of 4, 6, or 9 images. 
+After a certain number of labels are submitted, the machine learning model for image classification starts to group together similar images.  These similar images are presented to the labelers on the same screen to speed up manual tagging. Clustering is especially useful when the labeler is viewing a grid of 4, 6, or 9 images. 
 
 Once a machine learning model has been trained on your manually labeled data, the model is truncated to its last fully-connected layer. Unlabeled images are then passed through the truncated model in a process commonly known as "embedding" or "featurization." This embeds each image in a high-dimensional space defined by this model layer. Images which are nearest neighbors in the space are used for clustering tasks. 
 
+The clustering phase does not appear for object detection models.

 ### Prelabeling
 
-After more image labels are submitted, a classification model is used to predict image tags.  The labeler now sees pages that contain predicted labels already present on each image.  The task is then to review these labels and correct any mis-labeled images before submitting the page.  
+After enough image labels are submitted, a classification model is used to predict image tags. Or an object detection model is used to predict bounding boxes. The labeler now sees pages that contain predicted labels already present on each image. For object detection, predicted boxes are also shown. The task is then to review these predictions and correct any mis-labeled images before submitting the page.  
 
 Once a machine learning model has been trained on your manually labeled data, the model is evaluated on a test set of manually labeled images to determine its accuracy at a variety of different confidence thresholds. This evaluation process is used to determine a confidence threshold above which the model is accurate enough to show pre-labels. The model is then evaluated against unlabeled data. Images with predictions more confident than this threshold are used for pre-labeling.

+Machine learning algorithms may be triggered. If these algorithms are enabled in your project, you may see the following:
 
 * After some amount of images have been labeled, you may see **Tasks clustered** at the top of your screen next to the project name.  This means that images are grouped together to present similar images on the same page.  If so, switch to one of the multiple image views to take advantage of the grouping.  
 
 * At a later point, you may see **Tasks prelabeled** next to the project name.  Images will then appear with a suggested label that comes from a machine learning classification model. No machine learning model has 100% accuracy. While we only use images for which the model is confident, these images might still be incorrectly prelabeled.  When you see these labels, correct any wrong labels before submitting the page.  
 
+* For object detection models, you may see bounding boxes and labels already present.  Correct any that are incorrect before submitting the page.

 Especially early in a labeling project, the machine learning model may only be accurate enough to prelabel a small subset of images. Once these images are labeled, the labeling project will return to manual labeling to gather more data for the next round of model training. Over time, the model will become more confident about a higher proportion of images, resulting in more prelabel tasks later in the project.
