Why use test_loader instead of validation_loader?

[missflash]

I think you should use validation_loader instead of test_loader in the following self.vali function.

Anomaly-Transformer/solver.py

Line 196 in e11c317

vali_loss1, vali_loss2 = self.vali(self.test_loader)

I agree with you. The test dataset should never be used as a validation set during the training process. This practice can lead to data leakage and result in overly optimistic performance evaluations. Any reported test performance metrics would be artificially high and not reflective of the model’s actual ability to generalize to unseen data.
