What are the effects of not using a two-stage approach for one-to-many supervision?
Is the one-to-many supervision prediction head used during model inference, or is it used for both training and inference?

Thank you for your interest. Regarding your questions:

What are the effects of not using a two-stage approach for one-to-many supervision?

We haven't tested one-to-many supervision with a one-stage approach. You can explore this by disabling the --two-stage flag in the script, which will switch to one-stage training.

Is the one-to-many supervision prediction head used during model inference, or is it used for both training and inference?

The one-to-many prediction head is only used during training and is not used in the inference.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
