H-JEPA Evaluation Guide

Comprehensive guide to evaluating trained H-JEPA models.

Quick Start

# 1. Linear Probing (best metric for SSL)
python3.11 scripts/eval_linear_probe.py \
  --checkpoint results/my_exp/checkpoints/best_model.pt \
  --dataset cifar10 \
  --device mps

# 2. k-NN Evaluation (fast, no training)
python3.11 scripts/eval_knn.py \
  --checkpoint results/my_exp/checkpoints/best_model.pt \
  --dataset cifar10 \
  --k 1 5 10 20

# 3. Transfer Learning (comprehensive)
python3.11 scripts/eval_transfer.py \
  --checkpoint results/my_exp/checkpoints/best_model.pt \
  --datasets cifar10 cifar100 stl10 \
  --linear-probe \
  --knn

Evaluation Metrics

1. Linear Probing

What it measures: Quality of learned features for supervised tasks

How it works:

  1. Freeze pretrained encoder
  2. Train a linear classifier on top
  3. Measure classification accuracy

Interpretation:

  • 70-80%: Good representations
  • 80-85%: Very good representations
  • 85%+: Excellent representations (on CIFAR-10)

Usage:

python3.11 scripts/eval_linear_probe.py \
  --checkpoint PATH \
  --dataset cifar10 \
  --epochs 100 \
  --lr 0.001 \
  --hierarchy-level -1  # Use top hierarchy

Output:

Best validation accuracy: 82.45%
Final validation accuracy: 82.31%
Results saved to results/linear_probe/checkpoint_cifar10_results.json

2. k-NN Classification

What it measures: Clustering quality in feature space

How it works:

  1. Extract features from train/test sets
  2. For each test sample, find k nearest neighbors
  3. Predict via majority vote

Interpretation:

  • No training required (fast!)
  • Pure measure of representation quality
  • Lower than linear probe (expected)

Usage:

python3.11 scripts/eval_knn.py \
  --checkpoint PATH \
  --dataset cifar10 \
  --k 1 5 10 20 \
  --temperature 0.07  # Softmax temperature

Output:

k= 1: 75.32%
k= 5: 78.91%
k=10: 79.45%
k=20: 79.12%

Best k value: Typically 10-20 for CIFAR, 5-10 for ImageNet

3. Transfer Learning

What it measures: Generalization to different datasets

How it works:

  1. Pretrain on dataset A (e.g., CIFAR-10)
  2. Evaluate on dataset B (e.g., STL-10)
  3. Compare performance

Usage:

python3.11 scripts/eval_transfer.py \
  --checkpoint PATH \
  --datasets cifar10 cifar100 stl10 \
  --linear-probe \
  --knn

Output:

Dataset        Linear Probe  k-NN (k=20)
CIFAR-10       82.45%        79.12%
CIFAR-100      54.32%        48.91%
STL-10         85.67%        82.34%

Visualization Tools

1. Model Explorer

Evaluation Best Practices

1. Use Multiple Metrics

Don't rely on a single metric:

# Comprehensive evaluation
python3.11 scripts/eval_transfer.py \
  --checkpoint PATH \
  --datasets cifar10 stl10 \
  --linear-probe \  # Supervised metric
  --knn            # Unsupervised metric

2. Test on Multiple Datasets

Evaluate generalization:

# Train on CIFAR-10, test on multiple
python3.11 scripts/eval_transfer.py \
  --checkpoint pretrained_cifar10.pt \
  --datasets cifar10 cifar100 stl10

Good model: Performance holds across datasets Overfit model: Drops significantly on new data

3. Compare Hierarchies

Test each hierarchy level:

for level in -3 -2 -1; do
  python3.11 scripts/eval_linear_probe.py \
    --checkpoint PATH \
    --hierarchy-level $level \
    --output-dir results/hierarchy_$level
done

Expected:

  • Level 1 (fine): Good for texture tasks
  • Level 2 (mid): Good for parts
  • Level 3 (coarse): Good for objects/scenes

4. Track Over Training

Evaluate checkpoints during training:

# Automatic evaluation every epoch
./scripts/watch_and_explore.sh

Or manually:

for epoch in 10 20 30 40 50; do
  python3.11 scripts/eval_knn.py \
    --checkpoint results/checkpoints/checkpoint_epoch_$epoch.pt \
    --dataset cifar10
done

Plot results:

  • Accuracy vs. Epoch
  • Find optimal checkpoint

5. Document Everything

Create a results file:

# results/my_experiment/results.yaml
experiment:
  name: my_experiment
  date: 2025-01-17
  checkpoint: checkpoint_epoch_100.pt

config:
  model: vit_base_patch16_224
  dataset: cifar10
  epochs: 100
  batch_size: 64
  lr: 0.001

evaluation:
  cifar10:
    linear_probe: 82.45%
    knn_k20: 79.12%
  stl10:
    linear_probe: 85.67%
    knn_k20: 82.34%

notes: |
  - Flash Attention enabled
  - RoPE position embeddings
  - 3 hierarchies
  - Training time: 4.5 hours on M1 Max

Troubleshooting

Low Linear Probe Accuracy (<70%)

Possible causes:

  1. Undertrained - train longer
  2. Bad hyperparameters - tune LR, weight decay
  3. Too small model - use larger ViT
  4. Wrong hierarchy - try different levels

Solutions:

# 1. Train longer
python3.11 scripts/train.py --config CONFIG --epochs 200

# 2. Tune hyperparameters
python3.11 scripts/train.py --config CONFIG --lr 0.003 --weight-decay 0.1

# 3. Larger model
# Edit config.yaml: encoder_type: vit_large_patch16_224

# 4. Try all hierarchies
for h in -3 -2 -1; do
  python3.11 scripts/eval_linear_probe.py --hierarchy-level $h
done

k-NN Much Lower Than Linear Probe

Expected: k-NN is typically 3-5% lower

Too large gap (>10%):

  • Features not well normalized
  • Need more neighbors (try k=50)
  • Temperature tuning needed

Solutions:

# Try more neighbors
python3.11 scripts/eval_knn.py --k 10 20 50 100

# Tune temperature
python3.11 scripts/eval_knn.py --temperature 0.05  # or 0.1, 0.2

Out of Memory During Evaluation

Solutions:

# Reduce batch size
python3.11 scripts/eval_linear_probe.py --batch-size 64  # default: 256

# Use CPU for linear probe (still fast)
python3.11 scripts/eval_linear_probe.py --device cpu

# Extract features once, train classifier separately
# (Features are cached in eval scripts)

Creating Publication-Quality Results

1. Systematic Evaluation

#!/bin/bash
# evaluate_all.sh

CHECKPOINT="results/final_model/checkpoints/best_model.pt"

# Linear probing on all datasets
for dataset in cifar10 cifar100 stl10; do
  python3.11 scripts/eval_linear_probe.py \
    --checkpoint $CHECKPOINT \
    --dataset $dataset \
    --epochs 100 \
    --output-dir results/paper/linear_probe
done

# k-NN evaluation
python3.11 scripts/eval_knn.py \
  --checkpoint $CHECKPOINT \
  --dataset cifar10 \
  --k 1 5 10 20 50 100 \
  --output-dir results/paper/knn

# Transfer learning
python3.11 scripts/eval_transfer.py \
  --checkpoint $CHECKPOINT \
  --datasets cifar10 cifar100 stl10 \
  --linear-probe \
  --knn \
  --output-dir results/paper/transfer

# Visualizations
python3.11 scripts/visualize_features.py \
  --checkpoint $CHECKPOINT \
  --output-dir results/paper/visualizations

python3.11 scripts/visualize_attention_rollout.py \
  --checkpoint $CHECKPOINT \
  --sample-idx 0 10 20 30 40 \
  --output-dir results/paper/attention

2. Ablation Studies

# Test each component
for config in baseline +rope +flash +hierarchies; do
  python3.11 scripts/train.py --config configs/ablation_$config.yaml
  python3.11 scripts/eval_linear_probe.py \
    --checkpoint results/ablation_$config/checkpoints/best.pt \
    --dataset cifar10
done

3. Generate Tables

# scripts/generate_tables.py
import pandas as pd
import json

results = {
    'Method': ['Baseline', '+RoPE', '+Flash', '+Hierarchies'],
    'CIFAR-10': [78.2, 79.5, 79.4, 82.5],
    'CIFAR-100': [52.1, 53.8, 53.9, 56.2],
    'STL-10': [82.3, 83.9, 84.1, 85.7],
}

df = pd.DataFrame(results)
print(df.to_latex(index=False))  # For paper
print(df.to_markdown(index=False))  # For README

Next Steps

After evaluation:

  1. Document results - Create results summary
  2. Compare to baselines - How does it stack up?
  3. Identify improvements - What could be better?
  4. Share checkpoints - Make models available
  5. Publish findings - Blog post, paper, etc.
