Ablation Study Design

Design a comprehensive ablation study for the GDCN-Final Fusion Agent. Define at least four distinct ablation scenarios targeting the following novel components: Gated Cross Layers (in GDCN stream), Feature Selection Gate (in MLP stream), Bilinear Fusion, and Log-Binning Discretization. For each scenario, describe precisely how you would modify the agent's architecture or data pipeline to remove, replace, or simplify the targeted component (e.g., replacing gated cross layers with standard DCN cross layers, replacing log-binning with raw numerical features).
