What is recorded here?
Routed late-layer information through a dense CLS vector into an early-token reconstruction head, then added same-document span contrastive pretraining and memory-efficient gradient caching for corpus-aware embeddings.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The auxiliary head is removed for fine-tuning; corpus-aware pretraining remains extra work and can require a large effective batch even when task fine-tuning is small-batch. Gradient caching is inherited, not newly invented here. Optimization readiness is a source hypothesis supported by experiments, not a universal formal explanation of retriever training.
