TRIAD benchmark: no multimodal retrieval system leads across its six subsets
_reachsumit · x · 2026-11-11
New arXiv paper TRIAD introduces a multimodal retrieval benchmark targeting agentic settings, with three tracks: abstraction (bidirectional retrieval between visual instances and hierarchical concepts), constraints (joint positive/negative conditions), and state (multi-turn requirement integration and revision). Six subsets, 1,000 queries each against a 1,000-candidate pool, evaluated with multi-positive mAP.
Key findings:
- 20 configurations from 17 systems evaluated; no system leads across all six subsets
- Performance declines with hierarchical distance
- Negative-only queries generally underperform positive ones
The benchmark exposes clear gaps in handling complex, evolving agentic retrieval requests.
