## Model Description

The encoder is a **CLIP-ViT-B/32** backbone fine-tuned with **VICReg** self-supervised learning on DOW30 historical K-line data (2010–2021). It maps candlestick chart images into a 512-dimensional morphology-aware embedding space, capturing shape-level properties (body size, shadow structure, local trend direction) while remaining invariant to absolute price scales.

**Training details:**
- Backbone: CLIP-ViT-B/32
- Loss: VICReg (λ = µ = 5)
- Data: DOW30 components, 2010–2020 (train), 2021 (test)
- Window size: W = 5 trading days
- Silver-pair threshold: τ = 0.98

**Evaluation (test set, 2,075 unique anchors):**

| Method | 52D Alignment |
|---|---|
| Barlow Twins | 0.785 |
| SimSiam | 0.814 |
| **VICReg (ours)** | **0.910** |

> 52D Alignment measures cosine similarity between retrieved results and the query in the 52-dimensional morphological feature space — higher is better. VICReg achieves the best morphological alignment among all compared methods.

## Usage

```python
import torch
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

# Download checkpoint
ckpt_path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="ZiyaZhao/FinAlogy",
    filename="checkpoint_best.pth"
)

# Load encoder
checkpoint = torch.load(ckpt_path, map_location="cpu")
# See https://github.com/nice-zzy/FinAlogy for full inference pipeline
```
