The variable manipulation part is clear - if I may ask one question about the theoretical justification: how did you have the insight that the problem might be related to spatial bias? Was it pure intuition?
Right, thanks for your input! So what you're saying is, you manipulated all sort of possible confounding variables (hyperparameters, detectors, etc.) and concluded that it had to be related to the model's architecture. Which I guess is similar to what I was suggesting in my post, right? Changing the number of landmarks, changing the number of distractors, etc., and noticing whether the same result holds
