It appears you're encountering challenges with the align_linear function, particularly regarding its ability to maintain the semantic integrity of embeddings during alignment. This is a common concern when using linear transformations for embedding alignment, as the model might focus solely on optimizing the transformation matrix ( W ) without preserving the original embedding relationships.

Understanding the Issue

The align_linear function typically applies a linear transformation to align embeddings from one space to another. However, without appropriate constraints or regularization, this process can lead to:

• Overfitting to the transformation: The model may prioritize minimizing alignment loss, neglecting the preservation of original embedding semantics.

• Loss of semantic structure: The transformed embeddings might deviate significantly from their original positions, leading to a loss in meaningful relationships. ([PDF] On the Direct Alignment of Latent Spaces)

Recommended Approaches

To address these issues, consider the following strategies:

1. Orthogonal Procrustes Alignment

This method seeks an orthogonal matrix ( R ) that minimizes the Frobenius norm between the transformed source embeddings and the target embeddings:

[
\min_R | RX - Y |_F \quad \text{subject to } R^T R = I
]

This constraint ensures that the transformation preserves distances and angles, maintaining the semantic structure of the embeddings. The approach is detailed in the paper "Closed Form Word Embedding Alignment" . ([PDF] Closed Form Word Embedding Alignment - arXiv)

2. Contrastive Learning with Regularization

Incorporate a contrastive loss function that not only brings aligned pairs closer but also pushes unaligned pairs apart. Additionally, add a regularization term to penalize significant deviations from the original embeddings:

[
\mathcal{L}{\text{total}} = \mathcal{L}{\text{contrastive}} + \lambda | W - I |_F^2
]

Here, ( \lambda ) is a hyperparameter controlling the regularization strength, and ( I ) is the identity matrix, encouraging ( W ) to remain close to an identity transformation.

3. Anchor-Based Alignment

Utilize a set of anchor points—pairs of embeddings known to correspond between the source and target spaces—to guide the alignment. This method provides reference points that help preserve the global structure during transformation. The concept is explored in the paper "On the Direct Alignment of Latent Spaces" . ([PDF] On the Direct Alignment of Latent Spaces)

Practical Implementation Tips

• Initialization: Start with ( W ) as an identity matrix to encourage minimal initial distortion.

• Regularization: Apply L2 regularization to prevent overfitting and maintain the stability of the transformation.

• Evaluation: Assess the quality of alignment using metrics like cosine similarity or downstream task performance to ensure semantic integrity is preserved.

By integrating these strategies, you can enhance the align_linear function to produce more semantically consistent embeddings post-alignment. If you need further assistance with implementation details or have specific questions, feel free to ask!

收敛策略

Yes, exactly — your updated design ensures that only a small subset of the model is fine-tuned, which is beneficial for stability and transfer learning.

✅ Here's a summary of what you're training now:

You only need to fine-tune 3 modules:

---

🔧 1. self.atmos_encoder

• Learns to encode atmospheric fields into meaningful per-step embeddings.
• This module is likely initialized from scratch and needs training.

---

🔧 2. self.align_linear

• A simple Linear(embed_dim, embed_dim, bias=False) layer.
• Aligns hidden_new (from predictor1) to the latent space of hidden_long.
• Trained with:
  • feature loss: match hidden_long
  • orthogonality: WᵗW ≈ I
  • reconstruction: stay close to hidden_new

---

🔧 3. self.predictor1[0] (the first Linear layer in predictor1)

• This layer transforms the full context_encoded (with atmos) into latent embedding.
• You re-use self.predictor[2] for the final prediction step after alignment, so only this first layer is updated in the path of pred_new.

---

✅ Why this design is good:

• Most of your pretrained weights remain frozen.
• You enforce alignment via constraints instead of duplicating full predictors.
• This makes your distillation pathway much more interpretable and controllable.
