Steve0927/qwen3-embedding-0.6b-lrat-full80k-conservative-from-broad

This is a Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B compatible dense retriever checkpoint prepared for XIR competition 1170.

Method

The method is Trajectory Utility Calibration (TUC). We train only from official LRAT trajectory-derived retrieval rows. TUC performs conservative row-internal auditing of each official query-positive-negative row: weak positives are downweighted or removed, high-confidence false-negative negatives are removed, and sample weights remain bounded.

Data Boundary

Training data source:

• —data/processed/lrat_broad_g16_v2_llm_full80k_conservative_weights.jsonl

Base checkpoint:

• —models/qwen3-embedding-0.6b-lrat-broad-g16-v2

Compliance boundary:

• —No generated queries.
• —No generated answers.
• —No generated passages or external evidence.
• —No A/B leaderboard qrels or hidden failures are used as training labels.
• —Strong models are used only as auditors over official LRAT query-positive-negative rows.

Training Configuration

• —Learning rate: 3e-7
• —Epochs: 0.5
• —Group size: 16
• —Batch per device: 24
• —Thresholds: drop_low_pos_quality<=1.0; false_negative relevance>=3.5 and confidence>=0.75; min_neg=4

• —Vs v5: recall@20 +0.0014922, recall@50 +0.0002979, hit@50 +0.0120482

Intended Use

This checkpoint is intended as a dense retriever in the XIR/BrowseComp-Plus-style fixed-corpus agent-search setting, where the submitted artifact is only the retriever checkpoint and the agent/judge/runtime are fixed externally.

Limitations

• —The checkpoint is optimized for agentic retrieval from LRAT-style trajectory supervision.
• —It should not be interpreted as a general-purpose factual QA model.
• —Leaderboard results should be used only as checkpoint gates, not as sources for new training labels.
