SimCLR ResNet-50 Visual Search Engine GUI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A premium, interactive web-based graphical user interface (GUI) built with
Streamlit, powered by ONNX Runtime and FAISS for real-time visual similarity
retrieval on CIFAR-10.
Key Features:
1. Premium Dark Mode UI with tailored CSS glassmorphism styling
2. Upload any local image or select a random test image from CIFAR-10
3. Lightning-fast feature extraction (2048-d) via optimized ONNX Runtime
4. Sub-millisecond exact Cosine Similarity search using FAISS vector database
5. Clean visual results grid with similarity scores and class matches
6. Dedicated interactive "Ablation Study Dashboard" showing the Exp 38-42 findings
Usage:
streamlit run src/streamlit_app.py

##### 1. The Shortcut-Learning Problem
Without Color Jitter, contrastive self-supervised encoders exploit low-level **color histograms** as a shortcut to maximize mutual information, rather than learning general shapes and semantic features. This results in weaker downstream representations, showing a severe performance limit (e.g. baseline Crop+Flip+Blur achieves only **64.49%**).
##### 2. The Color Jitter Shield
Adding photometric distortion (color jittering) forces the model to ignore color profiles and focus on invariant structures, spatial boundaries, and contours. This single ablation yields a massive average boost of **+18.1 pp** across all settings, pushing our best encoder (Exp 41) to a stellar **84.30% Top-1 accuracy**!

##### 3. Model Architecture & Stem Tuning
Modifying the standard ResNet-50 conv1 stem from 3x3 (stride 1) and removing the initial MaxPool was crucial to preserve the resolution of 32x32 CIFAR-10 images.
##### 4. Near Foundation-Model Upper Bound
Our zero-shot CLIP ViT-B/32 foundation model evaluation sets the academic upper bound at **88.80%**. Our custom-trained SimCLR ResNet-50 achieves **95% of this performance** (**84.30%**) while using **8,000x less training data**!
