Question about the evaluation of classification tasks #271

Open gray311 opened 11 months ago

gray311 commented 11 months ago

For the evaluation of classification tasks, such as ImageNet1k, I would like to know if using kv_cathe for evaluation would have any impact on the results? My personal understanding is that if no_kv_caching=False, then the model's evaluation process is more akin to a generation process, whereas if it's True, the model's evaluation process is more similar to the training process. I'm not sure if my understanding is correct; thank you for your response.
