Text-based person retrieval faces a critical but under-explored challenge: the inherent uncertainty of query granularity in real-world scenarios. This paper introduces a new paradigm, Text-based Person Retrieval with Any Granularity, and provides a systematic solution.

arXiv:2607. 23507v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Choosing the right text embedding model is one of the most consequential -- and most frequently under-examined -- decisions in building a retrieval or search system, yet the model that tops a leaderboard is rarely the best choice for a given deployment.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems rely on similarity scores to retrieve relevant content, yet scores are not directly comparable across embedding models due to differing geometric properties, complicating model migration and limiting threshold reuse. We study how similarity scores can be related by learning mappings between score distributions rather than embeddings.
