DarkSignal v0.1.0

Train under one regime, deploy under another

Out of distribution, and out of templates.

A correction is calibrated on one systematic regime and deployed on another; templates are dropped or padded with irrelevant ones; the map shrinks; holes and depth-driven noise appear.

Distribution shift

Simulation In this slice the training and test worlds share their sky: only the contamination regime changes. A model that memorised the signal while training therefore subtracts it again at test time — read the clean-transfer view with that in mind (see the limitations).
