A new metric called CANDOR has been developed to evaluate frozen foundation encoders in machine learning, addressing limitations of previous methods that were influenced by data prevalence. CANDOR uses equal-size banks to ensure a fixed chance level of one half, providing a more accurate assessment of an encoder's ability to discern features. Experiments across numerous datasets and encoders revealed that while no encoder is entirely blind, many perform weakly, with some even performing worse than random weights on specific tasks like identifying bird species or glaucoma.
