Label-Wording Augmentation in a Typed-Decision Encoder
arXiv paper comparing two releases of Ru-Jev, a 307M-parameter multilingual cross-encoder trained on thirteen Russian-language tasks, to test whether an augmentation that presents labels in several surface forms helps when callers supply their own option wording.

Highlights
- Compares two releases of Ru-Jev, a 307M-parameter multilingual cross-encoder trained on thirteen Russian-language tasks.
- Evaluates ten label vocabularies over eighteen routing labels, with five candidates per question and, for eight vocabularies, eighteen.
- The augmented release is more accurate on ordinary or borrowed words in every setting, by up to 0.24; eleven of fourteen gains survive a Holm correction.
- On abbreviations and opaque codes there is no usable gain; on opaque codes both releases stay at or below chance.
- On two datasets neither release saw, accuracy moves by -8.4 and +5.6 points; four evaluation hazards are reported.

It compares two releases of a typed-decision model to see whether training with labels presented in several surface forms improves accuracy when the caller, not the model developer, chooses how options are worded.
Ru-Jev, a 307M-parameter multilingual cross-encoder trained on thirteen Russian-language tasks. The later of the two releases adds the label-wording augmentation.
Ten label vocabularies were produced by three separate processes and checked for overlap with the training data. Questions were held fixed and only the wording of eighteen routing labels was varied.
On held-out vocabularies made of ordinary or borrowed words, including English-derived jargon, office slang and department names, the augmented release is more accurate in every setting, by up to 0.24.
On abbreviations it is not better and is worse on the clean slice. On opaque codes both releases stay at or below chance once labels related to training options are removed.
In most cells where accuracy rises the risk-coverage area falls, but with eighteen candidates confident errors rise on jargon and slang. Slang with eighteen candidates did not survive a Holm correction.
Gains do not transfer to abbreviations or opaque codes, and on two datasets neither release had seen, accuracy moved by -8.4 and +5.6 points. The paper also reports four evaluation hazards from comparing the two releases.
