Data Source Labeling

When extracting numerical values, always indicate the source and reliability:

## Replication Targets

### Figure 3: Training Loss

| Data Point | Value | Source | Reliability |
|------------|-------|--------|-------------|
| Initial loss | ~2.5 | Image extraction | REFERENCE ONLY |
| Final loss | ~0.12 | Image extraction | REFERENCE ONLY |
| Learning rate | 1e-4 | Paper text, Section 4.1 | HIGH |
| Batch size | 32 | Paper text, Section 4.1 | HIGH |

Reliability Levels:

• HIGH: Explicitly stated in paper text
• MEDIUM: Inferred from context or appendix
• REFERENCE ONLY: Extracted from figures - use for comparison, not as test targets

Important: Reference Values Are Not Ground Truth

Values extracted from image_understanding.md (especially from plots) are approximate and should:

• Be used for comparison in the final report
• NOT be hardcoded as expected test outputs
• NOT cause test failures if code produces different values

The replicated code's output is authoritative. If our training produces loss=0.15 instead of the paper's ~0.12, this is documented and explained, not treated as a bug.

Analysis Methodology

When analyzing a paper:

1. First pass: Extract basic info (title, authors, abstract)
2. Method pass: Understand architecture and algorithms
3. Experiment pass: Identify what needs to be reproduced
4. Integration pass: Combine with image_understanding.md
5. Planning pass: Create actionable replication plan
6. Labeling pass: Mark data sources and reliability levels

Quality Checklist

Before completing:

• All sections of paper_structure.md filled
• Image descriptions integrated from image_understanding.md
• Data sources labeled with reliability levels
• Replication plan has clear module boundaries
• Each module has testable acceptance criteria (shape, gradient, sanity - NOT exact values)
• Dependencies between modules identified
• Reference values marked as comparison targets, not test assertions
