Abstract (arXiv)

We formulate curator-in-the-loop duplicate discovery in the AtticPOT repository as a Positive-Unlabeled (PU) learning problem. Given a single anchor per artefact, we train a lightweight per-query Clone Encoder on augmented views of the anchor and score the unlabeled repository with an interpretable threshold on the latent l_2 norm. The system proposes candidates for curator verification, uncovering cross-record duplicates that were not verified a priori. On CIFAR-10 we obtain F1=96.37 (AUROC=97.97); on AtticPOT we reach F1=90.79 (AUROC=98.99), improving F1 by +7.70 points over the best baseline (SVDD) under the same lightweight backbone. Qualitative "find-similar" panels show stable neighbourhoods across viewpoint and condition. The method avoids explicit negatives, offers a transparent operating point, and fits de-duplication, record linkage, and curator-in-the-loop workflows.
