FALCON: Feedback Adaptive Loop for Content-Based Retrieval

Summary: FALCON enables feedback-driven retrieval for disjunctive queries in metric spaces, learning concepts from weighted positives without vectorization or feature selection. A dissimilarity estimator plus metric-indexing acceleration preserves recall and yields rapid convergence, beating scanning by up to 200%. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
