SBERT ablation experiments use 10 random seeds per configuration and report averaged performances.
Summary
Performance figures from the SBERT ablation study are averaged over 10 independent runs rather than taken from a single measurement, meaning the reported architectural differences have been smoothed for reproducibility. This matters because it tells us the evidence behind those component-level conclusions is more stable, and any small numerical gaps between configurations should be read in light of that repetition.
