New metric gSAP enhances representation learning by considering all query pairs

Researchers have introduced Global Average Precision for Representation Learning (gSAP), a novel differentiable surrogate metric designed to improve the training of machine learning models. Unlike traditional metrics that evaluate queries individually, gSAP considers all query-candidate pairs within a batch simultaneously. This holistic approach allows for more consistent similarity comparisons across queries, even when using a single decision threshold. The metric has demonstrated improvements in supervised metric learning, cross-modal alignment, and self-supervised pretraining, outperforming established methods like InfoNCE and other AP surrogates in various benchmarks.

    Global Average Precision for Representation Learning

    arXiv:2610.09863v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard information retrieval metrics, such as mean Average Precision (mAP), assess performance one query at a time, based on how the similarities between a query and its positives compare against those with its negatives. The sa…
