QontoFAQ: A better Information Retrieval Benchmark [R]

Reddit r/MachineLearning

Retrieval benchmarks sometimes feel benchmaxxed by models, so we wanted to find a way to tie it as close as possible to my objective: finding the article that answers a product question right.

We worked on a new metric which seems more proportional to document relevance, and built up a benchmarking dataset to measure embedding models.

Here is an article on the approach: https://medium.com/qonto-way/qontofaq-benchmarking-information-retrieval-acd89600ebe1

and the associated code: https://github.com/qonto/qonto-faq-benchmark

Financially Guided Deep Portfolio Optimization

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2605.28853v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Portfolio optimization in real-world financial markets is notoriously difficult due to non-stationarity, noisy data, and high transaction costs. Standard predict-then-optimize methods first forecast returns and then solve for weights, compounding prediction errors and often failing under regime shifts. We propose an end-to-end framework that directly optimizes differentiable surrogates of key financial metrics (Sharpe ratio, Omega ratio, Conditional Value-at-Risk, and risk parity), allowing neural networks to learn portfolio weights via backpropagation. Our expanding-window walk-forward procedure, applied to 50 S&P 500 stocks from 2007 to 2023, incorporates realistic bid-ask spread costs and rebalances quarterly. On the challenging out-of-sample test period (2022-2023), the best model, an AttentionLSTM with the Omega-CVaR-RiskParity loss, achieves an annualized Sharpe of 0.29 and a total compounded return of +7.86%, while the S&P 500 delivers -4.52% total compounded return and an annualized Sharpe of -0.02. This outperforms the S&P 500 by 12.38 percentage points, while keeping tail risk (CVaR) nearly unchanged. The framework outperforms the equal-weight portfolio, S&P 500, and traditional methods (MVP, HRP, NCO, ERC), demonstrating that embedding financial objectives directly into model training yields robust, economically meaningful outperformance even in adverse market conditions.

Sampling at intermediate temperatures is optimal for training large language models in protein structure prediction

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2603.29529v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Using a statistical mechanics framework, we investigate the parameter space of transformer models trained on protein sequence data. We sample the loss landscape at varying temperatures using Langevin dynamics to characterize the low-loss manifold, and to understand the mechanisms underlying transformers' superior performance in protein structure prediction. We find that, at variance with networks not based on the attention mechanism, the lack of a first--order--like transition in the loss of the transformer produces a range of intermediate temperatures with good learning properties; this is true both for synthetic and natural protein sequences. We also show that the parameters of most layers are highly conserved at these temperatures if the dimension of the embedding is optimal, and we provide an operative way to find this dimension. Additionally, we show that the attention matrix is more predictive of the contact maps of the protein at higher temperatures and for higher dimensions of the embedding than those optimal for learning. Finally, we showed that the models sampled at intermediate temperatures can predict the free-energy variation upon mutation, better than models obtained through standard optimization techniques.

The Challenge of Identifying the Origin of Black-Box Large Language Models

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2503.04332v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The tremendous commercial potential of large language models (LLMs) has heightened concerns over their unauthorized use. To address this, we focus on the task of identifying the origin of black-box LLMs. We further propose PlugAE, an effective and efficient identification method that proactively leverages LLM-specific adversarial embeddings and allows users to customize copyright tokens on a targeted query set. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PlugAE outperforms both state-of-the-art model watermarking and fingerprinting methods in accuracy and robustness. We further analyze its stealthiness and reliability from three complementary perspectives and conduct ablation studies under various configurations, confirming its practicality for real-world misuse detection.

Orthogonal JEPA: Factorized Predictive States for Latent World Models

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2608.20065v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: World models construct latent states that support prediction, planning, and reasoning about an underlying system. Joint-embedding predictive architectures (JEPAs) offer a direct way to learn such states by predicting targets in representation space instead of reconstructing every detail of the observation. Standard JEPAs, however, organize all predictable content through one target embedding and one prediction pathway. In complex systems, this monolithic state can allocate redundant capacity to dominant signals while providing weak or conflicting gradients to less dominant predictive structure. We introduce \method, a latent world-modeling framework based on orthogonal predictive factorization. Learned basis matrices analyze each target state into multiple components, and a dedicated prediction branch estimates each component from a shared context representation. Predictive regression preserves the factor magnitudes required for state synthesis, an orthogonality objective discourages repeated directions, factor-activity regularization maintains variation in projected targets, and online variance regularization discourages coordinate-wise encoder collapse. Predicted components are synthesized into a complete latent state that can be used by a readout, decoder, planner, or autoregressive rollout. The same predictive-state mechanism applies when the target is temporally future, spatially hidden, or another partial observation of the same system. Experiments on controlled vision, single-cell transcriptomics, longitudinal health records, continuous control, and molecular dynamics evaluate representation quality, forecasting, planning, and long-horizon stability.

Reinforcement Learning for Delivery Drone-Based Participatory Sensing in Dynamic Environments

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2607.18874v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for urban sensing has emerged as a powerful paradigm to monitor the status of the city, e.g., air quality and noise levels, through agile aerial crowdsourcing. Despite this potential, existing UAV-based sensing approaches overlook environmental disturbances like wind that drastically impact drone velocity and energy efficiency. Consequently, directly applying existing methods to this joint delivery and sensing paradigm in dynamic environments faces two severe challenges: (1) scalability bottlenecks as fleet sizes expand; and (2) multi-timescale decision heterogeneity between macro task dispatching and micro velocity control. To tackle these, we formalize the problem as SensUAV and propose a Two TimeScale Reinforcement Learning framework (TSRL). Specifically, TSRL separates decision-making into two cooperative layers. At the macro level, a task-embedding sensing dispatcher handles scalability by separately encoding distinct task features and sequentially evaluating UAV suitability before task selection. At the micro level, a wind-aware velocity controller learns fine-grained velocity scheduling to adapt to dynamic environmental variations. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that TSRL significantly outperforms baselines, achieving average system profit improvements of 20.1% in Hangzhou and 46.6% in Shanghai.

CAffNet: Hard Constraint-Affine Neural Networks

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2605.24437v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present a novel framework for embedding hard constraint satisfaction into neural network (NN) architectures, specifically feedforward neural networks and transformers, with input-dependent affine constraints of arbitrary cardinality. Traditional constraint enforcement approaches either rely on penalty-based soft constraints, which offer no guarantee of satisfaction, or on post-processing methods that enforce constraints after the NN is trained, which may lead to suboptimality. We introduce a trainable constraint-affine (CAffine) layer into NNs, yielding CAffNet, which goes beyond enforcing affine constraints via fixed orthogonal or parallel projections and enables joint optimization with network parameters. Moreover, we impose no restrictions on the constraint space dimensions and establish that our construction preserves the universal approximation properties of NNs, while providing provable guarantees on constraint adherence for all inputs. Experimental validation demonstrates robust performance across diverse domains requiring guaranteed constraint satisfaction. The code is available at https://github.com/ice-t-lab/CAffNet.git.

SPLICE: Latent Diffusion over JEPA Embeddings for Conformal Time-Series Inpainting

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2605.00126v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Generative models for time-series imputation achieve strong reconstruction accuracy, yet provide no finite-sample reliability guarantees, a critical limitation in power systems where imputed values inform dispatch and planning. We introduce SPLICE (Self-supervised Predictive Latent Inpainting with Conformal Envelopes), a modular framework coupling latent generative imputation with distribution-free, online-adaptive prediction intervals. A JEPA encoder maps daily load segments into a 64-dimensional latent space; a conditional latent bridge with four sampling modes generates candidate gap trajectories; an hourly-conditioned decoder maps back to signal space; and Adaptive Conformal Inference (ACI) wraps the output with coverage-guaranteed prediction bands. The flow-matching variant achieves comparable quality to DDIM in 5--10 ODE steps (5-10x speedup). On thirteen load datasets (nine proprietary, three UCI Electricity, ETTh1), SPLICE achieves the lowest mean Load-only MSE (0.056), winning 9/12 non-degenerate datasets at 91-day gaps and 18/32 across all gap lengths vs. five established baselines, and produces the best CRPS (0.161, -18.3% vs. the strongest competitor). ACI delivers 93--95% empirical coverage, correcting under-coverage failures of up to 7.5 pp observed with static conformal prediction. A pooled JEPA encoder trained on nine feeds transfers to four unseen domains, matching or exceeding per-dataset oracles with only a quick bridge fine-tuning.

Linear probing enables Ship-Radiated Noise recognition with pretrained audio embeddings

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2601.08358v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Even though the ocean covers the majority of the planet's surface, it remains the least explored ecosystem. As light and radio waves do not propagate through water, underwater acoustics is the main choice for various ocean applications ranging from marine biology to pollution monitoring. Increasing levels of anthropogenic noise from ships contribute significantly to underwater sound pollution, posing risks to marine ecosystems. This makes monitoring crucial to understand and quantify the impact of the ship radiated noise. Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) systems are widely deployed for this purpose, generating years of underwater recordings across diverse soundscapes. Manual analysis of such large-scale data is impractical, motivating the need for automated approaches based on machine learning. Recent advances in automatic Underwater Acoustic Target Recognition (UATR) have largely relied on supervised learning, which is constrained by the scarcity of labeled data. Transfer Learning (TL) offers a promising alternative to mitigate this limitation. In this work, we conduct the first empirical comparative study of transfer learning for UATR, evaluating multiple pretrained audio models originating from diverse audio domains. The pretrained model weights are frozen, and the resulting embeddings are analyzed through classification, clustering, and similarity-based evaluations. The analysis shows that the geometrical structure of the embedding space is largely dominated by recording-specific characteristics. However, a simple linear probe can effectively suppress this recording-specific information and isolate ship-type features from these embeddings. As a result, linear probing enables effective automatic UATR using pretrained audio models at low computational cost, significantly reducing the need for a large amounts of high-quality labeled ship recordings.

Transport-Coupled Bayesian Flows for Molecular Graph Generation

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2510.10211v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Molecular graph generation (MGG) is essentially a multi-class generative task, aimed at predicting categories of atoms and bonds under strict chemical and structural constraints. However, many prevailing diffusion paradigms learn to regress numerical embeddings and rely on a hard discretization rule during sampling to recover discrete labels. This introduces a fundamental discrepancy between training and sampling. While models are trained for point-wise numerical fidelity, the sampling process fundamentally relies on crossing categorical decision boundaries. This discrepancy forces the model to expend efforts on intra-class variations that become irrelevant after discretization, ultimately compromising diversity, structural statistics, and generalization performance. Therefore, we propose TopBF, a unified framework that (i) performs MGG directly in continuous parameter distributions, (ii) learns graph-topological understanding through a Quasi-Wasserstein optimal-transport coupling under geodesic costs, and (iii) supports controllable, property-conditioned generation during sampling without retraining the base model. TopBF innovatively employs cumulative distribution function (CDF) to compute category probabilities induced by the Gaussian channel, thereby unifying the training objective with the sampling discretization operation. Experiments on QM9 and ZINC250k demonstrate superior structural fidelity and efficient generation with improved performance.

Foundation model embeddings capture pre-diagnostic changes on screening mammograms

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2609.26605v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation model embeddings of screening mammograms may encode pre-diagnostic tissue change without task-specific adaptation. We tested whether embeddings move faster along a data-derived "cancer direction" in women later biopsied for cancer than in matched screen-negative controls, and whether this depends on pretraining domain. We studied 1,773 biopsied women (785 malignant, 988 biopsy-negative) and 1,773 matched controls, each with at least two annual screening exams before their index exam. An identical pipeline was applied to four 2D models: Mammo-CLIP (MC, out-of-distribution mammography), HOPPR (in-distribution mammography), MedImageInsight (MII, general medical imaging), and BiomedCLIP (biomedical vision-language pretraining on literature figures). Breast-level embeddings quantified longitudinal movement along the cancer direction. We compared cases and controls using a between-patient design with complementary mixed-effects analysis, and biopsied versus healthy contralateral breasts within patients. Under matched modality in MII embedding space, malignant cases drifted significantly faster than controls in the first two screening intervals preceding the index exam; biopsy-negative cases showed significance only in the first. MC differences were significant in the first interval for both biopsy groups. Within-patient comparisons showed a broadly similar pattern, with MC significance extending to the second interval in both groups and HOPPR showing significance at interval 1. BiomedCLIP showed no significant differences in either design or biopsy group. Overall, directional embedding velocity emerges as a property of clinically grounded rather than general biomedical pretraining, showing that foundation model embeddings can encode pre-diagnostic mammographic change without task-specific adaptation.

Sample-Smooth Spaces: A Convenient Category for Differentiable Probabilistic Programming

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2609.26270v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce the category $\mathbf{SSS}$ of sample-smooth spaces over a mixed site. The test objects are the products $\Omega_n := \mathbb{R}^n \times \Omega$ of a Cartesian space with the universal Hilbert cube $\Omega$ carrying all universally measurable sets, and a space is a set with a family of admissible plots $\Omega_n \to \mathcal{X}$ closed under precomposition. Smoothness and measurability are then not two structures glued along an axiom, but one structure over one site. The site has finite non-empty products, because $\Omega$ absorbs its own square; its Karoubi envelope contains every $\mathbb{R}^n$; and it has mixed morphisms $\omega \mapsto (W(\omega),\Phi(\omega))$, which turn measurability of a smooth family from an axiom into a consequence. $\mathbf{SSS}$ is a concrete quasitopos: complete, cocomplete, cartesian closed and locally cartesian closed, with a classifier for embeddings. Morphisms of Cartesian spaces are exactly the $C^\infty$ maps and manifolds embed full and faithfully, both without Boman's theorem. Every object has tangent and cotangent spaces, every morphism a differential. The modalities sit in an adjoint string $\Pi \dashv \flat \dashv \natural \dashv \sharp \dashv \Lambda$, making $\mathbf{SSS}$ cohesive over quasi-universal spaces. The point is the probability monad. Defining the plots of $\mathsf{P}(\mathcal{X})$ as push-forwards of $\mathcal{X}$-plots at every test object, $\mathsf{P}$ is an unconditional strong commutative affine monad on all of $\mathbf{SSS}$ -- functor, unit, product of kernels, multiplication and the monad laws are each one line of seed splitting -- and its Kleisli category, of differentiable simulators, is a Markov category. The reparametrisation trick holds by construction: every Kleisli morphism is plot-wise a sampler, stably under composition. A reflection theorem locates the whole gain in a single plot family.

MIND the Gap: A Geographic Implicit Neural Representation with Adjustable Spatial Scale

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2609.25454v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Geographic measurements are often sparse, leaving large areas without labels for the quantities we want to map. Geographic implicit neural representations (INRs) address this by learning smooth, general-purpose embeddings that can be queried at any coordinate. Downstream models combine these embeddings with sparse labels to predict target values at unsampled locations without satellite imagery at inference. However, generalization to distant regions remains largely unexplored, despite its importance for remote sensing applications. We introduce Matryoshka Implicit Neural Distillation (MIND), which distills embeddings from specialist pretrained geospatial models into a single generalist coordinate embedding with adjustable spatial granularity. MIND uses nested supervision at several embedding dimensions, which define a series of contiguous chunks. In our experiments, early chunks capture coarser geographic variation, while later chunks add more fine-grained details. A downstream predictor can retain only leading chunks or be fitted with our Chunked Penalty to downweight later chunks while keeping the full embedding, without retraining the INR. To measure MIND and compare to existing approaches around the world, we introduce CoordBench, a large-scale INR evaluation suite of $52$ datasets and $78$ targets that aims to test both local interpolation and prediction in held-out regions at various spatial scales. MIND and its Chunked Penalty variant achieve the highest aggregate regression and classification scores among tested INRs, and the highest scores overall under regional holdout, setting a new state-of-the-art for geographic INRs.

Learnable Classifier-Free Guidance Null Embeddings for Enhanced Controllable Speech Synthesis

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2609.25411v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Classifier-free Guidance (CFG) is widely adopted in text-to-speech (TTS) systems to enhance generation quality and conditioning fidelity by interpolating between conditioned and unconditioned predictions. A common unconditional technique is to use an empty representation, in the form of a fixed null vector. In this work, we propose replacing this representation with a learnable unconditional embedding, optimized to represent a meaningful unconditional state. Objective and subjective evaluations demonstrate that learnable null embeddings consistently outperform fixed null embeddings across speaker similarity, speech stability, and expressiveness, while exhibiting greater robustness to larger guidance scales. We further show that learning a distinct unconditional embedding for each of the TTS conditioning modalities allows fine-grained control over speaker and text guidance, showcasing the trade-off between similarity and quality, and stability and expressiveness in the generated speech.

Can We Predict Anomaly Detection Performance from Embedding-Space Geometry?

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2609.26460v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Anomaly detection systems are often trained using normal data alone, while model selection and evaluation typically require labeled anomalies. We study whether anomaly detection performance can be predicted without access to anomalous data. For kNN-based detectors, we derive a lower bound on the area under the ROC curve (AUC) that relates detection performance to the separation between inlier and outlier scores and to their respective variances. Under a local scaling model, we use this bound to characterize how density variation, intrinsic-dimensional heterogeneity, and cross-domain mismatch contribute to score variability. We then investigate anomaly-free model selection and show that inlier score variance alone does not reliably predict performance across different representations. To address this limitation, we introduce simple pseudo-anomaly probes that provide a reference for estimating relative score separation. Experiments on the DCASE 2022-2025 benchmarks, spanning four embedding models and 208 candidate systems, show that pseudo-anomaly-based estimators substantially improve anomaly-free model selection. In particular, diverse pseudo-anomalies enable anomaly-free model selection to outperform conventional development-set selection under domain shift. These results show that embedding-space geometry contains predictive information about anomaly detection performance while also highlighting the representation-dependent nature of inlier-only performance estimates.

On the Effect of Bit-Level Parameter Perturbations in Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2609.26280v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this chapter, we investigate how classical machine learning models respond to small, targeted modifications in their parameters. We compare and contrast these results to analogous experiments on deep learning models. For classical learning models, we consider Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and Support Vector Machines (SVM), and for comparison, we conduct analogous experiments involving Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. When applied to the Drebin Android malware dataset, our results show that classical models are brittle, in the sense that a limited set of selected parameters can have a dramatic effect on model behavior. In a related set of experiments, we investigate the steganographic capacity of these same learning models, that is, the proportion of bits in model parameters that can be overwritten without having a significant adverse affect on a model. We find that classical models offer limited steganographic capacity due to their compact, parameter-efficient, and relatively sensitive parameter structure. In contrast, neural networks are parameter-redundant, enabling higher steganographic capacity, where modifications can be distributed across many parameters with minimal impact on performance. These results highlight differences in how classical and neural models respond to parameter changes, with clear implications for both robustness and hidden information embedding. Overall, this work provides a framework for understanding parameter sensitivity and steganographic capacity across different classes of learning models.

Signed Graph Pre-Training and Prompt Learning

arXiv cs.LGarXiv:2609.25722v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Signed graphs arise in trust--distrust networks, financial correlation systems, biological interaction graphs, and many other domains in which edges can be positive or negative and may also be directed. While signed graph neural networks have improved task-specific learning, graph transfer learning on signed graphs remains underdeveloped. In this paper, we introduce TopoSIGN, a pioneer topology-guided graph pre-training and prompt learning framework for signed graphs. TopoSIGN combines a structural encoder built on the magnetic signed Laplacian with a novel persistent-homology branch that summarizes signed topology through Dowker-complex persistence images. The fused embeddings are then transferred to a prompt learning function. Experimental results on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the efficacy of TopoSIGN in extracting useful structural information in signed graphs, as well as the adaptability and flexibility of the proposed general framework.

KaLM-Reranker-V1: Fast but Not Late Interaction for Compressed Document Reranking

arXiv cs.CLarXiv:2606.22807v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As retrieval systems scale, effective and efficient reranking becomes increasingly important. However, most existing encoder- and decoder-based rerankers jointly process every query--passage pair, tightly coupling their online computation and limiting deployment efficiency and flexibility. We present KaLM-Reranker-V1, a fast but not late-interaction FBNL reranker that decouples query and passage computation while retaining expressive relevance modeling. Built on an encoder--decoder architecture, KaLM-Reranker-V1 pre-encodes passages using Matryoshka embedding pooling, while its decoder models system and user instructions together with query intent; cross-attention then captures fine-grained relevance between the resulting query context and passage representations. Together, these designs offer four key advantages: (i) efficiency from offline passage encoding, (ii) expressiveness from cross-attention, (iii) compactness from Matryoshka embedding pooling, and (iv) test-time compute through an adjustable compute budget. We instantiate KaLM-Reranker-V1 in three sizes, Nano, Small, and Large, with 0.27B, 1B, and 4B activated parameters, respectively. Extensive experiments on BEIR, MIRACL, and LMEB demonstrate strong reranking performance with superior efficiency. On BEIR and MIRACL, our models achieve competitive performance in multi-domain and multilingual reranking, on par with strong industrial rerankers such as the Qwen3/BGE-Reranker series. On LMEB-Dialogue, a compact embedding model paired with our Nano reranker, which has only 0.27B activated parameters, remains competitive with 7--12B embedding models. Data and models are available at https://huggingface.co/collections/KaLM-Embedding/lychee-kalm-reranker-and-jev.

CausalEmbed: Auto-Regressive Multi-Vector Generation in Latent Space for Visual Document Embedding

arXiv cs.CLarXiv:2601.21262v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Although Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown remarkable potential in Visual Document Retrieval (VDR) through generating high-quality multi-vector embeddings, the substantial storage overhead caused by representing a page with thousands of visual tokens limits their practicality in real-world applications. To address this challenge, we propose an auto-regressive generation approach, CausalEmbed, for constructing multi-vector embeddings. By incorporating iterative margin loss during contrastive training, CausalEmbed encourages the embedding models to learn compact and well-structured representations. Our method enables efficient VDR tasks using only dozens of visual tokens, achieving a 30-155x reduction in token count while maintaining highly competitive performance across various backbones and benchmarks. Theoretical analysis and empirical results demonstrate the unique advantages of auto-regressive embedding generation in terms of training efficiency and scalability at test time. As a result, CausalEmbed introduces a flexible test-time scaling strategy for multi-vector VDR representations and sheds light on the generative paradigm within multimodal document retrieval. Our code is available at https://github.com/Z1zs/Causal-Embed.

Geometric Uncertainty for Detecting and Correcting Hallucinations in LLMs

arXiv cs.CLarXiv:2509.13813v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models are known to hallucinate, generating linguistically plausible but incorrect answers to questions. Uncertainty quantification has been proposed as a strategy to detect such behaviour, but existing methods lack a unified framework to assess reliability at both the prompt and answer level. We introduce a geometric framework which quantifies language model uncertainty at both levels by explicitly modelling a prompt-conditioned semantic distribution in answer embedding space. Our approach is black-box and sampling-based; we generate multiple answers per prompt, and use archetypal analysis to estimate a geometric support for the answer distribution. At the prompt level, we approximate the distribution entropy to quantify uncertainty; for each individual answer, we then use notions of atypicality to assess its reliability relative to the batch. We employ our framework to not only detect hallucinations but correct them, by selecting the batch example deemed most reliable. Experiments show that our framework performs comparably to or better than prior methods on short form question-answering datasets, and achieves superior results on medical datasets where hallucinations carry particularly critical risks. Beyond pure performance, we suggest the theoretical grounding of our work provides support for semantic distributions as useful objects of study for language model uncertainty.
