What is recorded here?
Clustered training queries once, sampled topically related batches and balanced positive/negative passage pairs by teacher-score margins, combining pairwise cross-encoder and in-batch ColBERT teacher signals.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
Teacher inference, reused teacher scores and one-time query clustering have costs even when omitted from the student loop. Single-GPU timing and retrieval latency use the stated hardware/index configuration. Balanced teacher margins do not certify relevance labels or eliminate false negatives.

TAS-Balanced: topic-aware batches and margin-balanced retriever teaching
Clustered training queries once, sampled topically related batches and balanced positive/negative passage pairs by teacher-score margins, combining pairwise cross-encoder and in-batch ColBERT teacher signals.
Scientific scope
Teacher inference, reused teacher scores and one-time query clustering have costs even when omitted from the student loop. Single-GPU timing and retrieval latency use the stated hardware/index configuration. Balanced teacher margins do not certify relevance labels or eliminate false negatives.
