tao-run-deft-pas

Run iterative improvement for NVIDIA TAO CLIP / SigLIP image-text retrieval on attribute-labelled data. Use when a request combines retrieval evaluation, weak-attribute or caption-pair mining, repeated retraining, and a stopping condition based on a retrieval KPI, validation plateau, or iteration budget; the customer need not know the DEFT or People Attribute Search (PAS) names. The self-contained workflow performs dataset preparation, zero-shot evaluation, attribute gap analysis, caption-space k-NN mining, history-aware selection, retraining, and re-evaluation. Treat tao-deft-pas as shorthand for this canonical tao-run-deft-pas workflow. Do not use for standalone CLIP training, one-off evaluation or embedding, generic k-NN mining, or AOI/ChangeNet DEFT workflows.
