From 6ab6e1913700fec3488350403c4bce6b632bc3ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gbanyan Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 01:27:07 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Paper A v3.17: correct Experimental Setup hardware description User flagged that the Experimental Setup claim "All experiments were conducted on a workstation equipped with an Apple Silicon processor with Metal Performance Shaders (MPS) GPU acceleration" was factually inaccurate: YOLOv11 training/inference and ResNet-50 feature extraction were actually performed on an Nvidia RTX 4090 (CUDA), and only the downstream statistical analyses ran on Apple Silicon/MPS. Rewrote Section IV-A (Experimental Setup) to describe the mixed hardware honestly: - Nvidia RTX 4090 (CUDA): YOLOv11n signature detection (training + inference on 90,282 PDFs yielding 182,328 signatures); ResNet-50 forward inference for feature extraction on all 182,328 signatures - Apple Silicon workstation with MPS: downstream statistical analyses (KDE antimode, Hartigan dip test, Beta-mixture EM with logit- Gaussian robustness check, 2D GMM, BD/McCrary diagnostic, pairwise cosine/dHash computations) Added a closing sentence clarifying platform-independence: because all steps rely on deterministic forward inference over fixed pre- trained weights (no fine-tuning) plus fixed-seed numerical procedures, reported results are platform-independent to within floating-point precision. This pre-empts any reader concern about the mixed-platform execution affecting reproducibility. This correction is consistent with the v3.16 integrity standard (all descriptions must back-trace to reality): where v3.16 fixed the fabricated "human-rater sanity sample" and "visual inspection" claims, v3.17 fixes the similarly inaccurate hardware description. No substantive results change.
