- switch report frames to the scene best/worst montage renderer
(Onscreen/Offscreen panels + TPI/FPI/FN legend): perfect-second hero,
wedding couple, funeral 19-of-20, polygraph bridging, crew-scene FN
ceiling, Robert Patrick ground-truth gap, rapid-cut double label,
Herbie Hancock on an in-fiction screen
- deep dive restructured: extinction bridging framed as designed
behavior with a measurable cost (debug overlay draws the boxes; the
shipped output is presence windows), plus the face-vs-presence
ceiling and two X-Ray-is-wrong exhibits
- Material polish: light/dark palette toggle, landing-page grid cards,
figure/caption CSS, how-to-read admonition; site_url set so 404 links
resolve under the Pages subpath
- README: perfect-second and screen-call frames committed (gitignore
exceptions), readme_example.jpg retired
- build_site.sh: stage_frame helper downscales montage frames to 1920px
and pulls any missing montage-frames packages
- experiment_charts.py generates 4 figures from experiments/ artifacts:
held-out per-film F1, 16-combo ranking, DE search landscape, and the
Downton detector-vs-tracker ghost timeline (replaces the blank
title-card screenshot)
- new frames: 19-correct wedding shot (success case), Many Saints
ghost-vs-unknown frame (three error classes in one image)
- rename rep4-optimizer-results.md -> model-bakeoff.md; rep4 kept only
as the on-disk artifact prefix, explained once
- repo file references are now links via https://REPOLINK/<path>
placeholders; build_site.sh pins them to the HEAD commit's raw URLs
and fails the build if a linked path doesn't exist at HEAD
- drop references to removed scripts (scene_score.py, score_config.py)
and to session-memory names; mark artifact-registry paths with their
pull commands
- commit readme_example.jpg + pipeline_topology.svg so README renders
on the plain Gitea repo view
- deploy_pages.sh: push built site/ to the gitea-pages branch
Splits the rep4 write-up's key findings into their own linkable pages:
- best-model.md: calibration curves first (discriminative power, independent
of any threshold), then F1 on the benchmark — LVFace-B Glint360K wins both.
- gallery-scope.md: whole vs. cast-restricted gallery, isolated from model and
expansion choice — restriction wins on every axis, but isn't a shipped
runtime feature yet.
- pose-expansion.md: the training-set expand_gallery effect, and the held-out
replication attempt that found it doesn't reproduce (5 films, 2 models,
after catching and fixing a replay-timeout truncation bug and a bbox
first-match-instead-of-best-match bug in the comparison harness itself). An
honest null result, with the methodology errors documented since they're
exactly the kind that manufacture a false "it works!" finding.
- lvface-deep-dive.md: the winning model's held-out generalization gap, its
two failure modes (frozen-bbox ghost tracks), and a verified case (cross-
checked against Jellyfin's independent cast metadata) where LVFace
correctly identified an actor that X-Ray's ground truth failed to credit.
Adds a "report-highlights" artifact-registry package (scripts/artifacts/
push_artifacts.sh, pull_artifacts.sh) for hand-picked illustrative frames that
aren't reproducible via the automated best/worst montage selection, and wires
pulling it into scripts/docs/build_site.sh.
Optimizer (scripts/optimizer/): replay.py runs the real C++ tracker/matcher/
scene_tracker chain over a dumped-embeddings HDF5 via sae_kpn, so a threshold
sweep never re-decodes video or re-embeds faces. optimize.py drives scipy's
differential_evolution over the knob space, with DE-level parallelism
(multiple population candidates evaluated concurrently via a ThreadPoolExecutor)
on top of per-film replay parallelism. second_score.py is the per-second X-Ray
scoring metric (TPI/FPI/FN, out-of-cast misID weighted 10x, fair recall masked
to gallery-known cast) that superseded an earlier scene-union metric.
dump_error_frames.py / dump_scene_montage.py extract annotated video frames
(bounding boxes, TPI/FPI/FN captions, onscreen-vs-offscreen split) for visual
review of a replay against ground truth. Gallery utilities: cast_restrict.py,
gallery_membership.py, fetch_missing_actors.py, reembed_gallery.py.
scripts/validation/: X-Ray ground-truth loading and provider-agnostic identity
matching (identity.py's keys_for — an actor is the union of every id we can
derive, since pipeline output and ground truth don't share one id space).
scripts/artifacts/: push/pull scripts for the Gitea generic package registry —
galleries, montage frames, and experiment data (manifests/trajectories/results)
are pushed there instead of committed, since none are needed to run the app,
only benchmarks. Versioned by git short-SHA.
scripts/docs/: MkDocs site build (build_site.sh) and the calibration-curve
comparison chart (calibration_chart.py, matplotlib, reads each gallery's
embedded calibration).
Gallery-building scripts (make_jellyfin_gallery.py, make_gallery.py,
filter_gallery.py, run_from_jellyfin.py, movienet_eval.py, movienet_prep.py,
sae_gallery.py) updated to read/write HDF5 galleries exclusively, matching the
engine-side format switch. run_from_jellyfin.py and the optimizer no longer
carry movie source paths in shared manifests (some source filenames include
scene-release tags) — resolved locally via a gitignored file-lut.json instead.
