Reproduction Beyond Benchmarks: ConstBERT and ColBERT-v2 Across Backends and Query Distributions
arXiv:2604.09982v2 Announce Type: replace-cross
Abstract: Reproducibility must validate architectural robustness, not just numerical accuracy. We evaluate ColBERT-v2 and ConstBERT across five dimensions, finding that while ConstBERT reproduces within …
