Curriculum

Learn one step at a time

01 / What should the metric measure?

Translate the research claim into measurable outcomes and identify where aggregate metrics can mislead.

02 / Baselines and ablations

Construct comparisons that isolate what a proposed method actually contributes.

03 / Robustness and failure analysis

Examine performance across changed conditions and organize failure cases into useful evidence.
