From ae945e8c7393e1ff47c829fb163a4591815fb550 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rrs <276464689+robotrocketscience@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 21:07:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] feat(benchmarks): MRR uplift + ECE scorers for posterior-ranking eval MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements the Slice 1 eval harness scorers from docs/v2_posterior_ranking_residual.md. mrr_uplift.py: 10-round MRR uplift evaluator. Builds one in-memory MemoryStore per fixture, runs a synthetic positive-feedback loop (top-1 if it matches the known item, else the known item directly), records mrr_per_round, and checks uplift >= threshold AND no round regresses below mrr_0 - 0.01. Multi-seed runner reports (mean, ±2σ) via run_multi_seed(). ece.py: ECE calibration scorer. Buckets (alpha, beta, actual) triples into 10 equal-width [0.1) buckets, computes weighted mean absolute error between posterior_mean and empirical feedback rate. Reuses scoring.posterior_mean() for predicted probabilities. Tests: smoke, regression-detection, multi-seed reproducibility band, ECE well/poorly-calibrated, bucket sanity (no NaN, weights sum to 1.0).

Each fixture has 4-5 noise beliefs chosen to cover distinct retrieval lanes. Tests: runner integration (3-fixture file, structural output check), run_as_dict JSON serialization, default fixture file exists and is readable with >= 5 entries and all required keys, load_fixtures helper.

Because the existing bench subparser uses nargs=REMAINDER for the rest positional, named flags after the target are parsed via a local ArgumentParser inside the handler rather than top-level argparse, matching the pattern used by other bench targets that consume positional args from args.rest. Flags: --fixtures PATH JSONL fixture file (default: default.jsonl) --seeds N multi-seed count (default 5) --mrr-threshold F MRR uplift pass gate (default 0.05) --ece-threshold F ECE calibration pass gate (default 0.10) --json emit machine-readable JSON Exit 0 when mrr.passed AND ece.passed; exit 1 otherwise. Exit 2 if benchmarks/ source tree is absent (installed wheel). Tests: exit 0 with relaxed ECE threshold on a well-structured fixture, exit 1 with impossibly tight MRR threshold, --json output parses.
