Cross-encoder reranker performance scales predictably via power laws with model size and training exposure, allowing accurate forecasts for 400M and 1B models and data-heavy compute allocation.
PIPER retrieves and ranks tabular datasets by profiling their content and using LLM-generated queries for dense vector search, outperforming metadata baselines and TableQA methods in low-metadata settings.
