This reproducibility Companion paper supports the approach presented in our paper titled ''AdOCTeRA: Adaptive Optimization Constraints for Improved Text-Guided Retrieval of Apartments.'' In that work, we addressed the problem of apartment retrieval using textual descriptions. Specifically, we proposed a novel adaptive approach that leverages the similarity between apartment descriptions in the dataset to enforce different levels of distance-a small distance between similar elements, a slightly larger distance between less similar elements, and an even larger distance between dissimilar elements.
