Description

Our current multi-class example in the docs trains on a single image for 1 epoch. It unsurprisingly doesn't learn anything and therefore predicts zero trees. This is confusing - see #773. We should clarify this in the docs and perhaps provide an idea of how many epochs the example would have to be trained for to show any results (~500 and then it only predicts dead trees).

Research direction

Open the multi-class example at advanced_features/multi_species.html and review the section describing training for one epoch. Clarify that the single-image, one-epoch example is not expected to produce predictions, and include the approximate training context mentioned in the issue. Done means the documentation sets expectations clearly for the example’s zero-tree output.
