"""Claim 5 / E3 -- CIFAR-10 OT-CFM flow retraining under classifier rewards. The judged evidence for this claim was: none. The previous logbook stated the experiment needs GPU training and reported it as a "non-verified honest negative", so there was no flow model, no entropy measurement and no data. This stage runs the experiment on CPU at reduced scale. What is kept faithful: * real CIFAR-10 at full 32x32x3 resolution * a real OT-CFM flow model with exact minibatch optimal-transport coupling (repro/lib/otcfm.py) -- the algorithm the paper names, not a nearby substitute * a real image classifier trained on CIFAR-10, with reward r(x) = gamma * pi_i(x) taken from its class probabilities, exactly as Appendix C.5 defines it * discrete K-BT curation with the paper's 5% keep ratio -- the keep RATIO is the selection pressure the theory is about, so it is preserved exactly * T = 25 recursive retraining rounds, the paper's value * the paper's diversity metrics: class entropy, KL to uniform, feature variance, intra-class variance, measured per round * balanced multi-preference (M target classes, reward drawn uniformly per curated draw) versus single-reward curation What is downscaled for CPU, and stated next to every number: * generated pool per round and kept count (the RATIO is preserved) * flow network size and pretraining steps * classifier capacity, hence its accuracy versus the paper's VGG11 at 92.39% * FID is not reported: it needs an InceptionV3 pass that does not fit the budget, and it is not part of the claim sentence under test """ from __future__ import annotations import json import time import numpy as np import torch import torch.nn as nn import torch.nn.functional as F from repro.lib import report from repro.lib.otcfm import UNet, cfm_loss, sample from repro.lib.verdict import VERIFIED, Verdict MEAN = torch.tensor([0.4914, 0.4822, 0.4465]).view(1, 3, 1, 1) STD = torch.tensor([0.2470, 0.2435, 0.2616]).view(1, 3, 1, 1) def normalize(x: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor: """Flow space is [-1,1]; the classifier consumes CIFAR mean/std-normalised input.
