MTEB-lite v2 selection report (eng, K=100)
Reference set (28 models, 15 families, <= 3 per family): A-v3@6750: A-lin0.5, A-lin0.6, A-ties-d0.1-l0.5; AS3: AS3-dareties-p0.9-l1.0, AS3-ties-d0.3-l0.5, AS3-ties-d0.3-l1.0; AV2: AV2-dareties-p0.9-l1.0, AV2-lin0.5, AV2-lin1.0; W: W-A0.7-S3-0.3-l0.5; all-MiniLM-L6-v2: all-MiniLM-L6-v2; bge-m3: bge-m3; e5-base-v2: e5-base-v2; embeddinggemma-300m: embeddinggemma-300m; multilingual-e5-base: multilingual-e5-base; multilingual-e5-small: multilingual-e5-small; qwen3-0.6b: qwen3-0.6b, qwen3-0.6b+norm; qwen3-4b: qwen3-4b; v1-F/P: F-lin0.5, F-lin1.0, F-ties-d0.1-l0.5; v4: S-lin0.5, V-lin0.7, V-ties-d0.1-l0.5; v5: S5-lin0.5, V5-ties-d0.1-l0.5, V5-ties-d0.3-l0.7
K=100 for per-item tasks, K=100 for set-metric tasks. Chosen: anchor/mean+anchorset (per-item method/estimator by the family-level LOMO macro tau among {anchor, fisher} x {mean, pirt, gp}; set-metric selection: anchorset). Set-metric tasks (STS, clustering, pair classification): no per-item IRT (the metric is not a sum over items) -> stratified random K ('strat') or unweighted anchor points on per-item outcomes ('anchorset'), + calibration. Random = uniform K, metrics averaged over 10 single draws. tau_res = tau on the pairs whose true score differs by >= 0.5 points.
Aggregate, family-level LOMO (20 held-out models with all tasks; scores x100)
