Every string in the model was previously a **one-hot at a hashed index**:
``node_features`` and ``edge_features`` set a single 1.0 at
``stable_hash(name, feature_dim)``, and the query encoder embedded
``stable_hash(token, vocab_size)``. Two relations with the same meaning and
different names therefore received *orthogonal* features, and a relation string never
seen in training landed on a row that carried no meaning.
That is measurable, and it was measured. The shipped 100M checkpoint scores 0.150
exact match on the unseen-ontology holdout with PAT discrimination at 0.557 against a
0.5 floor, loses to a heuristic on HotpotQA bridge recall (0.095 against 0.518), and
loses to a released 34M model on real typed KGs -- a model whose one architectural
advantage on unfamiliar vocabulary is that it reads strings through a pretrained text
embedder. See ``docs/graph/model_accuracy.md``.
This module supplies the missing pathway. A featuriser maps strings to dense vectors
that preserve similarity, so ``authored_by`` and ``written_by`` land near each other
instead of orthogonally, and an unseen relation inherits the geometry of the words it
is made of.
Two backends, both deterministic and both usable without network access at inference:
:class:`HashedBagFeaturiser`
The honest baseline and the default. It is *not* a pretrained model: it hashes
sub-word character n-grams into a fixed space, so it shares structure between
strings with shared substrings (``authored_by`` and ``author_of`` overlap) while
needing no dependency. It is strictly better than one-hot -- which shares nothing
-- and strictly weaker than a pretrained encoder, which knows that ``wrote`` and
``authored`` are related without sharing characters.
:class:`SentenceTransformerFeaturiser`
A frozen pretrained sentence encoder. This is the one expected to matter, and the
one whose absence explains the transfer results. The dependency is optional and
the class fails loudly if it is missing rather than silently degrading.
