Local geometry adaptive manifold re-ranking for shape-based 3D object retrieval
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper proposes an improvement to Manifold Ranking algorithm used for search results ranking in the context of shape-based 3D model retrieval. Manifold Ranking algorithm by Zhou et al estimates, given a set of high-dimensional feature vectors, a lower-dimensional manifold on which the features lie. It then computes diffusion-based distances from a feature vector (or feature vectors) to the other feature vectors on the manifold. When applied to content-based retrieval, overall retrieval accuracy is significantly better than a "simple" fixed distance metric. However, in a small neighborhood of query, retrieval ranks obtained by a "simple" distance metric (e.g., L1-norm) performs better than those obtained by Manifold Ranking. Proposed re-ranking algorithm tries to combine ranking results due to both simple distance metric and Manifold Ranking in an automatic query expansion framework for better ranking results. Experimental evaluation has shown that the proposed method is effective in improving retrieval accuracy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
