From 69424ecb772675e89cd21cd11d8dcddce66f0e35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ruv Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:16:37 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] feat(photonlayer): real-data MNIST optical-compression benchmark + differential ablation (M2) Adds an honest, reproducible real-data benchmark for the learned optical frontend (ADR-260 M2), replacing the synthetic-only 4-class evaluation that ADR-260 itself flagged as a scientific-integrity risk. New modules (photonlayer-bench): - mnist.rs : parses raw uncompressed IDX (verified magic 0x803/0x801), downsamples 28x28 -> 20x20 centered in a 32x32 power-of-two optical grid. Dataset is fetched once into a gitignored cache (NOT vendored); loader has zero network/decompression deps. - diffdetect.rs: differential-detection readout (Li/Ozcan arXiv:1906.03417) - 10 positive + 10 negative detector regions, score I+_k - I-_k. - mnist_bench.rs: trains one phase mask (seeded block hill-climbing) and runs the full acceptance comparison + ablation on the IDENTICAL mask. Integration test (mnist_differential_bench.rs, NOT a standalone bin to avoid the CrowdStrike AV os-error-5 on fresh exes): fast always-on smoke guard + #[ignore] heavy run with a documented command. Measured (deterministic, seed 0x6e157, 4000 train / 2000 blind test, balanced): full-image baseline (1024 px, 10240-param centroid) 0.7540 optical compressed ( 64 px, 640-param centroid) 0.7420 delta vs baseline -0.0120 (PASS, allows -0.02) sensor pixel reduction 16.0x (>= 16x) digital MAC reduction 16.0x (>= 10x) learned vs random mask (decoded) +0.0925 ACCEPTANCE (user's relative-to-baseline test): PASS. Honest caveats reported in-table: this is a SINGLE hill-climbed phase mask + tiny decoder (single-layer optical compression). The Li/Ozcan ~97% MNIST figure is a 5-layer diffractive net trained end-to-end by backprop with differential readout as the final layer; multi-layer + gradient is future work. The optics-only argmax differential lever is reported as a transparency floor (the mask is trained for the decoder readout, not the argmax readout). No absolute SOTA claim is made. cargo test -p photonlayer-core (23 pass) and -p photonlayer-bench --lib (14 pass) green; clippy clean.
