| # Efficientformer for Retrieval
|
|
|
| ## Overview
|
|
|
| This is an experimental **Efficientformer** codebase for **Retrieval**. It keeps the **tiny** setup intentionally manageable so architecture changes can be inspected before a full training run.
|
|
|
| ## Repository status
|
|
|
| - The Python file contains the model and runnable example or training entry point.
|
| - `config.json` records the generated architecture settings.
|
| - `training_args.json` records the default experiment recipe.
|
| - `model.safetensors` is a valid initialization checkpoint for smoke tests; it is **not** presented as a trained benchmark checkpoint.
|
| - No benchmark score is claimed in this repository.

| ## Default experiment recipe
|
|
|
| The included configuration uses **lion** with a **onecycle** schedule. These are starting values in the script, not evidence of a completed run. For a meaningful evaluation, train all baselines with the same data exposure, tuning budget, and random seeds.
|
|
|
| ## Quick check
|
|
|
| ```bash
|
| python train.py --help
|
| ```
|
|
|
| Inspect the script's `__main__` block for its generated smoke-test example. Because this is a custom implementation, generic automatic loading APIs require an explicit adapter before use.
|
|
|
| ## Evaluation guidance
|
|
|
| A useful first evaluation would use **Flickr30k**, report the task metric across at least three seeds, and include a matched-capacity baseline. Keep training logs and environment versions with any published result.
|
|
|
| ## Limitations
|
|
|
| The initialization checkpoint has not been trained or audited for robustness, fairness, or domain transfer. The implementation should be treated as an experimental starting point. Results from a future trained checkpoint must be documented separately from the defaults shipped here.
