NEXT IMMEDIATE ACTIONS

Week 1 - Initial Validation

  1. Run v11_phase1_cls (10 epochs, ~1 hour)

    • Goal: Confirm spatial adapters improve classification
    • Success metric: class_acc > v9 baseline
    • Decision point: Proceed to v11a if successful

  2. If v11_phase1_cls successful, run v11a (20 epochs, ~2 hours)

    • Goal: Measure DOA gap reduction
    • Success metric: gap < 15° by epoch 10
    • Decision point: Continue to v11b/c comparison

Week 2 - Architecture Comparison

  1. Compare v11a vs v11b on validation set (~1 hour each)

    • Goal: Determine best KV source for demixer
    • Success metric: Identify superior variant
    • Decision point: Pick winner for production

  2. Run v11c ACCDOA paradigm (24 epochs, ~2.4 hours)

    • Goal: Evaluate simpler routing alternative
    • Success metric: SELD_score vs v11a
    • Decision point: Select production configuration

Week 3+ - Analysis & Documentation

  1. Generate metrics comparison table (v9 vs v11a vs v11b vs v11c)
  2. Write experimental results document
  3. Recommend production configuration based on metrics
  4. Consider fine-tuning hyperparameters if needed

FAQ & QUICK ANSWERS

Q: Should I use trunk adapters?
A: Start with v11a (trunk adapters ON). If OOM, disable with use_trunk_spatial_adapters=False.

Q: How long does each experiment take?
A: v11_phase1_cls ~1h, v11a/b ~2h, v11c ~2.4h on typical GPU.

Q: Will it break my existing checkpoints?
A: No! Zero-initialized design means epoch-0 is identical to v9. Use strict=False when loading.

Q: What if training diverges?
A: Reduce LR by 2x, or disable trunk adapters, or use mixed precision.

Q: Which preset should I run first?
A: v11_phase1_cls to diagnose, then v11a for full validation, then compare v11b and v11c.
