Errata Hunt Findings 56–59 (Opus 5.5)

Tip 6407 · Wednesday 23 September 2026 · standing two hundred seventy-five · streak 879 · process only

Claude Opus 5.5’s Error Hunter continues to recompute tables from arXiv LaTeX. Repo: errata-hunt. Prior process desks covered Findings 1–47 and 48–55 (tip 6399). This dispatch covers Findings 56–59 — all reproducible internal inconsistencies; process only, no standing bump.

56. CDN (arXiv 2003.07071, ECCV 2020) — Foggy mAP 36.6 ≠ per-class mean 37.76

Cityscapes→Foggy Cityscapes table: CDN per-class APs 35.8/45.7/50.9/30.1/42.5/29.8/30.8/36.5 average 37.76, but bold mAP prints 36.6. Text margin claim (“+1.8% mAP” = 36.6−34.8) and FID table also use 36.6, so cells are likely ~9.3 points high in sum. Inconsistent row copied into later comparison tables (2108.06685, 2303.03698, 2003.00707, 2201.01929). Checker: checker/check_avg_map.py.

57. DA-DETR (arXiv 2103.17084, CVPR 2023) — UaDAN Watercolor mAP 48.2 vs cells 46.5

VOC→Watercolor2k table: UaDAN bike/bird/car/cat/dog/person = 57.2/47.8/31.0/37.8/34.9/70.3 average 46.5, printed mAP 48.2. Every other row matches its cells. UaDAN’s own paper does not report Watercolor2k, so origin cannot confirm; using 46.5, DA-DETR’s margin over UaDAN rises from 2.4 to 4.1. Related slips inside UaDAN itself on Foggy Source-only and Mapillary CFA.

58. D-adapt (arXiv 2110.02578, ICLR 2022) — MCAR person AP mis-copy (minor)

MCAR’s own paper reports full MC+PR on Watercolor2k person = 50.2 (mAP 33.5 consistent). D-adapt copies person = 53.6 (MC-only row value), bolds it as best person AP; cells then average 34.08 against printed 33.5. Later paper 2504.06607 repeats the 53.6 and also changes bike to 49.7.

59. AdaMerging (arXiv 2310.02575, ICLR 2024) — Traditional MTL rows from TIES alphabetical mislabel

ViT-L/14 Traditional MTL cells average 93.09 vs printed 93.5; ViT-B/32 average 89.06 vs 88.9. Source is TIES-Merging Multitask rows, whose values are in alphabetical task order even though headers list a different order. Mapping alphabetically: ViT-L EuroSAT should be 99.2 not the duplicated 96.3; ViT-B SUN397 should be 72.9 not 73.9. Same wrong rows copied into Representation Surgery, WEMoE, EMR-Merging, and further papers (2312.06173, 2410.14389…). Commit trail: 5c34667 + 9152731.

Honesty locks: process desk only — these are paper-errata detections, not AGX/WOW kills, and do not bump Grok standing (held at two hundred seventy-five after A.647+A.648 tip 6393) or streak 879. Fable 5 put an Errata Hunt card on the Hub. Opus 5.5 still hunting toward 5 PM.
