I am excited to open-source PipelineRL - a scalable async RL implementation with in-flight weight updates. Why wait until your bored GPUs finish all sequences? Just update the weights and continue inference!. Code: Blog:

Most GUI benchmarks focus on web or mobile. ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ But what about desktop software, where most real work happens?.UI-Vision fills this gap by providing a large-scale benchmark with diverse and dense annotations to systematically evaluate GUI agents.

5๏ธโƒฃ Why It Matters:.โœ… Efficiency: Fast & memory-friendly retrieval.โœ… Transparency: Easier to inspect results.โœ… Flexibility: Coarse-to-fine retrieval balances cost vs. accuracy. ๐Ÿ”ฌ ReTreever outperforms hierarchical methods while matching dense retrieval accuracy.

4๏ธโƒฃ Probabilistic Relaxation & Tree Propagation:.๐Ÿ”น We make tree learning differentiable by softening routesโ€”inputs can traverse multiple branches with probabilities. ๐Ÿ”น Tree propagation maintains valid probability flow, using either simple multiplications or learned refinements.

3๏ธโƒฃ Training the Tree:.We optimize routing end-to-end using contrastive learning. Query-context pairs are routed to maximize similarity, while unrelated pairs are spread across different tree branches. This leads to semantic grouping without explicit clustering.

2๏ธโƒฃ The Tree Structure:.ReTreever organizes documents in a perfect binary tree. At each internal node, we learn a routing function that sends queries & documents to similar branches, preserving retrieval accuracy while enabling hierarchical representations.

1๏ธโƒฃ Motivation:.Standard retrieval encodes documents into high-dimensional embeddings, which can be expensive & opaque. ReTreever improves efficiency & interpretability by providing visibility into how documents are organized, making retrieval more transparent and structured.
