"""D. Cross-encoder scoring, shardable across machines, and the dual-CE blend. WHY BOTH ENCODERS. Averaging mDeBERTa-v3 with bge-reranker-v2-m3 measured +0.0011 CE-only val F0.5, against +0.0023 for doubling the training data of one of them. The average costs no training at all, only a second forward pass, so it is the better trade whenever a GPU-hour is the scarce resource. Note the two numbers are not directly comparable to the final metric: a separate end-to-end test put the post-stacker gain at +0.00032, because the stacker already recovers most of what the blend adds. Budget for the smaller number. A CAVEAT THAT MATTERS FOR WHICH CHECKPOINT YOU BLEND. Model-3's reranker saw 4,581 of model-4's val records and 8,977 of its stack records during training. Any dual-CE gain measured on model-4's val with THAT checkpoint is partly leakage, not signal. Blend checkpoints trained on the same split as the run you are evaluating, or accept that the val number is optimistic and judge on the leaderboard. THROUGHPUT. Pairs are sorted by tokenised length before batching, so a batch is padded to its own longest member rather than to the corpus maximum. That alone is most of the difference between ~150 pairs/s and ~2,400 pairs/s on a shared card. RESUMPTION. The checkpoint stores a count of completed rows in LENGTH-SORTED order, and the scores are written back through the sort permutation only at the end. Do not "simplify" this to input order: the resume prefix would no longer be contiguous and a restart would silently score the wrong rows.
