Tiny Transformer for Retrieval
Overview
A research-oriented Tiny Transformer prototype targeting Retrieval. The included giant setup documents defaults and file formats without presenting unverified performance numbers.
Repository status
- The Python file contains the model and runnable example or training entry point.

Default experiment recipe
The included configuration uses lamb with a exponential 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
python model.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.
