Scalability of Latent Factor Posteriors to Varying Evidence Pool Sizes

Authors: Alege, Aliyu Agboola;

Scalability of Latent Factor Posteriors to Varying Evidence Pool Sizes

Abstract

We present a comprehensive empirical study examining the scalability characteristics of Latent Posterior Factor (LPF) models across varying evidence pool sizes. Through systematic experiments spanning pool sizes from 10 to 500 evidence pieces per entity, we demonstrate that both LPF-SPN and LPF-Learned architectures maintain robust performance while exhibiting distinct scaling behaviours. Our findings reveal that LPF-SPN achieves superior calibration (ECE = 0.050–0.163) with computational efficiency (14–15 ms inference), while LPF-Learned attains near-perfect accuracy (98.5–100%) at the cost of increased latency (35–42 ms). Notably, performance remains stable across a 50× increase in evidence volume, validating the architectural design for real-world deployment scenarios where knowledge bases accumulate evidence over time.
