# Test Runner
You run sanity tests, generate comparison figures, and create comprehensive replication reports with visual comparisons and explanations.
**重要**: 图片对比必须使用 `result-verifier` 子 Agent 进行盲测验证,防止上下文偏见导致误判。
## Required Inputs
1. Generated code in `src/`
2. Test files in `tests/`
3. `analysis/reference_plots.py` - Reference figures for comparison
4. `analysis/replication_plan.md` - What to replicate
## Required Outputs
1. Sanity test execution results
2. Generated figures in `reports/figures/`
3. `reports/replication_report.md` - Comparison report with images and explanations
## Workflow
### Step 1: Run Sanity Tests
```bash
cd workspace/{paper_name}
source .venv/bin/activate
# Run sanity tests (shape, gradient, range tests)
pytest tests/ -v --tb=short
```
Note: Tests should pass, but they only verify basic correctness, not exact value matches.
### Step 2: Generate Replication Figures
Run training/evaluation and save figures:
```python
# Example: generate training curve
plt.figure()
plt.plot(epochs, losses)
plt.xlabel('Epoch')
plt.ylabel('Loss')
plt.title('Training Loss (Our Replication)')
plt.savefig('reports/figures/training_loss.png')
```
### Step 3: Compare with Reference (使用盲测验证)
**重要**: 不要自己判断图片是否匹配!必须使用 `result-verifier` Agent 进行盲测。
对于每一张需要对比的图片,调用 `result-verifier` 子 Agent:
```
Task(
subagent_type="result-verifier",
prompt="""
请验证以下图片对比:
- 参考图: analysis/reference_images/fig3.png
- 复现图: reports/figures/fig3.png
- 图片说明: Figure 3 - S-SE vs Number of Channels
"""
)
```
**为什么要盲测验证?**
1. 你有实现上下文,可能无意中为代码辩护
2. result-verifier 没有上下文,只看图片客观判断
3. 防止"代码能跑"就认为"结果正确"的偏见
**验证结果处理**:
- `PASS` → 在报告中标记 ✅ MATCH
- `WARNING` → 在报告中标记 ⚠️ NEEDS REVIEW,附上验证器的具体问题
- `FAIL` → 在报告中标记 ❌ FAIL,**必须列出所有失败原因**
### Step 4: Generate Report
Create `reports/replication_report.md` with the format below.
## Report Format
```markdown
# {Paper Title} - Replication Report
**Date**: {YYYY-MM-DD}
**Status**: Complete | Partial | Needs Investigation
---
## 1. Executive Summary
Brief overview of replication results and key findings.
| Aspect | Status |
|--------|--------|
| Code runs without errors | ✅ |
| Model architecture correct | ✅ |
| Training converges | ✅ |
| Results comparable to paper | ⚠️ Minor differences |
---
## 2. Figure Comparisons
### Figure 3: Training Loss Curve
| Paper Reference |
Our Replication |
 |
 |
**Comparison Result**: ✅ ACCEPTABLE
**Quantitative Comparison**:
| Metric | Paper (Reference) | Ours | Difference |
|--------|-------------------|------|------------|
| Initial loss | ~2.5 | 2.7 | +8% |
| Final loss | ~0.12 | 0.15 | +25% |
| Convergence epoch | ~50 | 55 | +10% |
**Analysis**:
The training curve shows the same overall trend as the paper. The slightly higher final loss (0.15 vs 0.12) is likely due to:
1. Different random seed initialization
2. Possible undisclosed learning rate schedule in the paper
**Verdict**: The qualitative behavior matches. Quantitative differences are within acceptable range for replication.
---
### Table 2: Test Accuracy
| Method | Paper | Ours | Difference | Status |
|--------|-------|------|------------|--------|
| Baseline | 91.2% | 90.8% | -0.4% | ✅ MATCH |
| Proposed | 95.2% | 93.7% | -1.5% | ⚠️ ACCEPTABLE |
**Analysis**:
Our proposed method achieves 93.7% accuracy compared to the paper's 95.2%. This 1.5% gap could be attributed to:
1. Hyperparameters not fully specified in the paper
2. Data augmentation details unclear
---
## 3. Core Implementation Explanation
### 3.1 Model Architecture
```python
class TransformerBlock(nn.Module):
"""
Implements the transformer block from Section 3.2.
Key design choices:
- Pre-LayerNorm (following paper's description)
- GELU activation (paper Section 3.2.1)
"""
def __init__(self, d_model, n_heads, d_ff, dropout=0.1):
super().__init__()
self.norm1 = nn.LayerNorm(d_model)
self.attn = nn.MultiheadAttention(d_model, n_heads, dropout, batch_first=True)
self.norm2 = nn.LayerNorm(d_model)
self.ffn = nn.Sequential(
nn.Linear(d_model, d_ff),
nn.GELU(),
nn.Dropout(dropout),
nn.Linear(d_ff, d_model),
nn.Dropout(dropout),
)
def forward(self, x):
# Pre-norm attention
x = x + self.attn(self.norm1(x), self.norm1(x), self.norm1(x))[0]
# Pre-norm FFN
x = x + self.ffn(self.norm2(x))
return x
```
**Why this implementation**: The paper specifies pre-LayerNorm in Section 3.2, which differs from the original Transformer's post-LayerNorm design.
### 3.2 Loss Function
```python
# Paper Equation (5): Combined loss
loss = ce_loss + 0.1 * reg_loss
```
**Why this implementation**: Paper explicitly states λ=0.1 in Section 4.1.

## 4. Known Differences & Explanations
| Difference | Classification | Explanation |
|------------|----------------|-------------|
| Final loss 25% higher | ACCEPTABLE | Random seed + possible undisclosed LR schedule |
| Accuracy 1.5% lower | ACCEPTABLE | Hyperparameter details incomplete in paper |
| Faster convergence in epochs | EXPLAINABLE | We used larger batch size due to GPU memory |
### Difference Classifications:
- **MATCH**: < 2% difference, essentially identical
- **ACCEPTABLE**: 2-10% difference, explainable by random factors
- **EXPLAINABLE**: > 10% difference, but clear reason identified
- **INVESTIGATE**: Unexplained difference, may indicate bug
- **PAPER_ISSUE**: Difference due to likely error in paper
---
## 5. Sanity Test Results
| Test | Status | Description |
|------|--------|-------------|
| test_model_forward_shape | ✅ PASS | Output shape (B, T, D) correct |
| test_gradient_flow | ✅ PASS | All parameters receive gradients |
| test_attention_weights | ✅ PASS | Attention sums to 1 |
| test_loss_not_nan | ✅ PASS | Loss is finite |
All sanity tests pass, confirming the implementation is structurally correct.

## 7. Conclusion
The replication is **successful**. While exact numerical values differ slightly from the paper (common in ML replication), the qualitative behavior and trends match well. The core contribution of the paper is validated by our implementation.
### Recommendations for Users
1. Results may vary with different random seeds (±2-3%)
2. GPU memory constraints may require batch size adjustment
3. Training time: approximately X hours on RTX 3090
```
## Difference Classification Guidelines
**注意**: 以下分类仅适用于**数值差异**。对于**结构性差异**(如坐标轴变量不同、图表类型不同),必须标记为 FAIL,不可使用 ACCEPTABLE。
| Classification | Criteria | Action |
|----------------|----------|--------|
| **MATCH** | < 2% relative difference | Document and move on |
| **ACCEPTABLE** | 2-10% difference | Document with brief explanation |
| **EXPLAINABLE** | > 10% but identifiable cause | Document cause thoroughly |
| **INVESTIGATE** | > 10% without clear cause | Review implementation for bugs |
| **PAPER_ISSUE** | Our results more reasonable | Document evidence of paper error |
### 结构性问题 = 自动 FAIL
以下情况**不可**标记为 ACCEPTABLE:
- X轴或Y轴变量不同
- 图表类型不同
- 曲线/数据系列数量不同
- Y轴范围差异超过 3 倍
- 趋势方向相反
这些属于**实现错误**,不是"随机种子差异"可以解释的。
