[ ] Run v11_phase1_cls (10 epochs, ~1 hour) Goal: Verify V2 adapter improves classification Success: class_acc > v9 baseline 2. [ ] If successful, run v11a (20 epochs, ~2 hours) Goal: Measure DOA gap reduction Success: gap < 15° by epoch 10 Week 2: 3. [ ] Compare v11a vs v11b (determine better KV source) 4. [ ] Run v11c ACCDOA paradigm (evaluate simpler routing) Week 3+: 5. [ ] Analyze results and make production recommendation Total GPU time: ~10-12 hours spread over 2 weeks ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❓ COMMON QUESTIONS Q: Where do I start? A: Read EXECUTIVE_ONE_PAGE_SUMMARY.txt (5 min), then decide what's next. Q: I want to run experiments. What's the first command? A: See docs/V11_QUICK_START.md section "Running Experiments". Q: How do I know if it's working? A: Track azi_gap metric. It should decrease from ~20° to <10° monotonically. Q: Will this break existing code? A: No! Zero-initialized design ensures epoch-0 is identical to v9. Hot-start from v9 checkpoints works with strict=False. Q: What if I get GPU OOM? A: Set use_trunk_spatial_adapters=False to disable 1.21M adapter params. Q: Which preset should I run first? A: v11_phase1_cls for diagnosis, then v11a for full validation. Q: What's the difference between v11a, v11b, v11c? A: See WORK_COMPLETION_SUMMARY.md Part 4 for detailed comparison table. Q: Where are the code changes? A: spatial_modules.py (lines 2347-2520), spatial_beats.py (454-508, 1007-1066), train_spatial_beats.py (2281-2545). ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📊 KEY NUMBERS AT A GLANCE The Gap: • Train error: ~10° azimuth • Val error: ~30° azimuth • Gap: ~20° (8.7x in cosine distance) The Solution: • V2 adapter: 17.39M params (500x capacity increase) • Trunk adapters: 1.21M params (12 layers × 100.7K) • Total new params: 18.6M The Target: • Reduce gap from 20° to <10° (50% reduction) • By epoch 20 of v11a training (~2 hours) The Experiments: • v11_phase1_cls: 10 epochs, LR=7.5e-6 (~1 hour) • v11a: 20 epochs, LR=3e-5 (~2 hours) • v11b: 20 epochs, LR=3e-5 (~2 hours) • v11c: 24 epochs, LR=3e-5 (~2.4 hours) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✅ QUICK DECISION TREE Are you pressed for time? └─ YES: Read EXECUTIVE_ONE_PAGE_SUMMARY.txt (5 min) └─ NO: Read WORK_COMPLETION_SUMMARY.md (25 min) Want to run experiments immediately? └─ YES: Go to docs/V11_QUICK_START.md section "Running Experiments" └─ NO: Read DOCUMENTATION_INDEX.md to find detailed guides Need to understand the gap sources? └─ YES: Read GAP_SOURCE_TECHNICAL_ANALYSIS.md (30 min) └─ NO: Skip to next question Want to understand all frameworks? └─ YES: Read SPATIAL_AUDIO_FRAMEWORKS_ANALYSIS_COMPREHENSIVE.md (20 min) └─ NO: Stop here, you have what you need ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📞 SUPPORT If you encounter: • GPU OOM → See "Troubleshooting" in docs/V11_QUICK_START.md • NaN loss → See "Issue 2" in WORK_COMPLETION_SUMMARY.md Part 11 • No improvement → See "Issue 3" in WORK_COMPLETION_SUMMARY.md Part 11 • Unexpected errors → See docs/V11_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎓 LEARNING RESOURCES Framework comparisons: • FRAMEWORKS_QUICK_REFERENCE.txt (quick lookup) • SPATIAL_AUDIO_FRAMEWORKS_ANALYSIS_COMPREHENSIVE.md (detailed) • SEARCH_FINDINGS_SUMMARY.md (verification) Gap source analysis: • GAP_SOURCE_TECHNICAL_ANALYSIS.md (comprehensive) • WORK_COMPLETION_SUMMARY.md Part 1 (summary) Code locations: • DOCUMENTATION_INDEX.md (code modification summary) • SEARCH_FINDINGS_SUMMARY.md (all framework locations) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 FINAL RECOMMENDATION 1.
