Phase Transition Frequency as a Training Time Predictor of Test Accuracy in ResNets

The study investigates whether the number of discrete class‑separability jumps (phase transitions) observed during ResNet fine‑tuning can predict final test accuracy. Across 75 experiments on four benchmarks (CIFAR‑10, CIFAR‑100, TinyImageNet, CIFAR‑10‑C) and three ResNet variants, a strong negative correlation is found on standard i.i.d. datasets (r = −0.84 on CIFAR‑10, r = −0.87 on CIFAR‑100), while the correlation weakens under distributional stress. Additional analyses show that the transition count retains predictive power after controlling for architecture depth and outperforms other training‑curve signals on in‑distribution benchmarks, though it is dominated by other signals on stressed datasets.
