pilot HDF5 is not released as a separate full dataset because it is auxiliary. | | External component benchmark | `data/processed/abm_sensing_dataset_v04_close_orient30_potential_160k.h5` | PASS | Contains wake-only, potential-only, wake-plus-potential, labels, poses, regions, and sensor world positions. | | Paired self-signal controls, aligned | `data/processed/abm_sensing_dataset_v05_self_external_paired_160k_compressed.h5` | PASS | Contains external-only, self-only, and total-like arrays. | | Paired self-signal controls, randomized orientation | `data/processed/abm_sensing_dataset_v05_self_external_orient30_160k.h5` | PASS | Contains external/self/total arrays for randomized follower orientation. | | History sweep H=1,4,8,16,24 | `data/results/main_numbers.csv`, `data/results/v04_h_sweep_summary_table.csv` | PASS | Values match manuscript prose within rounding. | | Full-state `location_theta` | `data/results/orientation_metrics.csv`, `configs/main_v04.yaml` | PASS | Close-wake position RMSE `0.040` and heading MAE `0.53 deg` trace to CSV. | | Sensor ablation 6,4,3,2 sensors | `data/results/sensor_ablation.csv`, `data/results/v04_sensor_subset_summary_table.csv` | PASS | All counts referenced in the manuscript are present. | | Common raw-noise stress test | `data/results/component_noise.csv`, `data/results/v04_component_common_noise_summary_table.csv` | PASS | Potential-only, wake-only, and wake-plus-potential rows are present. | | Self-signal controls | `data/results/aligned_self_signal_control.csv`, `data/results/self_signal_randomized.csv`, `data/results/v05_self_control_table.csv` | PASS | Aligned and randomized-orientation controls are present. | | Total-like noise robustness | `data/results/v05_total_noise_table.csv`, `data/results/main_numbers.csv` | PASS | Noise multipliers through 0.05 are present. | | Sample-size convergence | `data/results/sample_size_convergence.csv`, `configs/sample_size.yaml` | PASS | 500, 1000, 2500, and 4000 training-pose conditions are present. | | Compute report | `data/results/compute_resources.csv`, this report | PASS WITH UNCERTAINTY | Exact CPU/GPU/RAM were not logged in the frozen run and are marked unresolved below. | ## Data and Code Checks HDF5 files checked: | File | Status | Notes | |---|---|---| | `data/processed/abm_sensing_dataset_v04_close_orient30_potential_160k.h5` | PASS | `160000` samples; fields include `X_raw`, `X_wake_raw`, `X_potential_raw`, `y`, `groups`, `region_id`, `follower_pose`, `leader_pose`, and `sensor_world_positions`. | | `data/processed/abm_sensing_dataset_v05_self_external_orient30_160k.h5` | PASS | `160000` samples; includes external, self, and total-like component arrays. | | `data/processed/abm_sensing_dataset_v05_self_external_paired_160k_compressed.h5` | PASS | `160000` samples; includes aligned paired self-signal component arrays. | | `data/sample/sparsewake_sample.h5` | PASS | `2048` samples and explicit `pose_id`; used for smoke tests. | Implementation checks: | Check | Status | Notes | |---|---|---| | Global follower coordinates excluded from model inputs | PASS | Training code loads only selected `X_*` component arrays as `input`; `follower_pose` and `sensor_world_positions` remain metadata. | | Held-out-pose test logic | PASS | `src/sparsewake/splits.py` matches the experiment driver: `default_rng(seed).choice` selects held-out test poses, then sklearn `train_test_split(..., test_size=0.15, random_state=seed)` splits the remaining samples into train/validation. | | Train-set-only standardization | PASS | `src/sparsewake/train.py` fits input mean/std only on `train_idx`. | | `raw_norm` feature dimension | PASS | `src/sparsewake/features.py` produces `37` features per time step for six sensors and `888` dimensions for H=24. | | Main metric implementation | PASS | Position RMSE and circular `theta_rel` MAE are implemented in `src/sparsewake/metrics.py`. | ## Anonymity Scan Text files scanned: Markdown, Python, YAML, JSON, CSV, CFF, SVG, checksum, and text files in the release tree. Binary/metadata checked: HDF5 root and dataset attributes; PDF/SVG metadata and raw byte search for known local identifiers and path patterns. Findings: - Release tree text scan: PASS. - Croissant metadata: PASS. It uses anonymous creator/citation fields and contains no creator email, publisher institution, private URL, or local path. - HDF5 attributes: PASS. Full HDF5 files have no root or dataset attributes; sample HDF5 attributes are generic. - PDF/SVG metadata: PASS after sanitizing one embedded local source-file reference in `figures/main/Fig1.pdf`. Remaining creator/producer metadata names software only, such as Matplotlib or Adobe PDF library. - Git history: FAIL FOR PARENT REPOSITORY. The parent repository history contains author names, emails, and a private remote path. Do not include `.git` in the anonymous ZIP. ## Commands Tested These commands were run from the release-tree root: ```bash python scripts/verify_dataset.py --data data/sample/sparsewake_sample.h5 ..\.venv\Scripts\python.exe scripts/train_temporal_mlp.py --config configs/main_v04.yaml --data data/sample/sparsewake_sample.h5 --quick python scripts/reproduce_tables.py --results data/results --out tables python scripts/make_main_figures.py --results data/results --out figures python scripts/make_supp_figures.py --results data/results --out figures ``` Additional structural checks: ```bash ..\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0,'src'); from sparsewake.data import load_h5; from sparsewake.features import raw_norm_features, build_design_matrix; d=load_h5('data/sample/sparsewake_sample.h5'); print(raw_norm_features(d['input']).shape); print(build_design_matrix(d, history=24)[0].shape)" git log --all --format="%H %an %ae %s" -n 40 ``` The default system `python` environment did not include `torch`; the repository virtual environment did. A fresh reviewer environment should install `requirements.txt` or `environment.yml`. ## Files Changed During Audit | File | Change | |---|---| | `src/sparsewake/features.py` | Corrected `raw_norm` to match `abm_sensing_dataset/experiments/sensing_v2/feature_builders.py`: raw channels, normalized raw channels, and one denominator per time step. | | `src/sparsewake/splits.py` | Corrected split helper to match `run_sensing_v2_experiments.py::make_pose_holdout`: held-out test poses via `default_rng(seed).choice`, then sklearn train/validation split within non-test samples. | | `requirements.txt`, `environment.yml` | Added `scikit-learn` because the actual experiment split uses `sklearn.model_selection.train_test_split`. | | `scripts/verify_dataset.py` | Added checksum verification option. | | `README.md` | Added checksum verification to the sample verification command. | | `dataset_card.md` | Corrected train/validation/test protocol wording. | | `docs/benchmark_protocol.md` | Corrected split protocol wording. | | `evaluation_card.md` | Corrected split protocol wording. | | `figures/main/Fig1.pdf`, `figures/main/Fig2.pdf`, `figures/main/Fig3.pdf` | Added manuscript-compatible main figure PDFs; sanitized embedded source path in Fig1. | | `figures/supp/Fig4.pdf` through `figures/supp/Fig9.pdf` | Added manuscript-compatible supplement figure PDFs. | | `tables/quick_train_metrics.json` | Updated by smoke-test training. | | `AUDIT_REPORT.md` | Added this report. | | `RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md` | Added final upload checklist. | | `MANIFEST.json` | Added generated file manifest. | | `data/checksums.sha256` | Updated final checksums. | ## Unresolved Issues Before Upload 1. `data/processed/download_manifest.json` should contain relative paths or anonymous hosted paths for the full HDF5 files. 2. The parent repository `.git` history is not anonymous. The final review upload must contain only release-tree contents and must not include `.git`. 3. Exact CPU/GPU model, RAM, MATLAB version, and dataset-generation wall time were not logged in the frozen run. The artifact reports conservative wall-clock times for representative three-seed runs and marks hardware details as unknown. 4. The architecture-screen pilot is represented by summary CSV/config rather than a separate pilot HDF5 release. This is consistent with the manuscript role because the pilot is auxiliary; reviewers can reproduce benchmark evaluation from the released full processed HDF5 files. ## Manuscript Statements Needing Revision No numeric scientific result needed revision based on this audit. Recommended non-scientific wording if the artifact is hosted outside the review system: state that the full processed HDF5 files are included directly in the anonymous dataset repository.
