RAPT: Retrieval-Augmented Post-hoc Thresholding for Multi-Label Classification

There's a new technique called RAPT, which stands for Retrieval-Augmented Post-hoc Thresholding, that improves how label sets are chosen in multi-label document understanding systems used in various industries. What's cool is that it doesn't require retraining the current classifier. This approach uses document representations for finding similarities and evaluates confidence scores for each label. RAPT addresses issues like OCR errors, uneven label distribution, varying label counts for instances, and different error costs that can affect score thresholds. By being implemented after the fact, it enhances accuracy and reduces the need for verification. It works with any model, including metric learning encoders and fine-tuned transformer classifiers.
