A reproducibility study of the TRIANGLE framework for multimodal alignment in information retrieval found that while TRIANGLE outperforms pairwise baselines in zero-shot settings, achieving up to +8.7 Recall@1 gains, its benefits are domain-dependent. The study failed to reproduce TRIANGLE's learning-from-scratch results, attributing this to optimization instability when jointly optimizing geometric alignment with Data-Text Matching loss. Further analysis indicated that cosine regularization primarily stabilizes text-to-video retrieval, and domain-specific fine-tuning enhances geometric benefits but diminishes cross-dataset generalization.
