Different from embedding model, reranker uses question and document as input and directly output similarity instead of embedding. You can get a relevance score by inputting query and passage to the reranker. And the score can be mapped to a float value in [0,1] by sigmoid function.

Model List

| Model | Base model | Language | layerwise | feature | |:--------------------------------------------------------------------------|:--------:|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:|:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------:| | BAAI/bge-reranker-base | xlm-roberta-base | Chinese and English | - | Lightweight reranker model, easy to deploy, with fast inference. | | BAAI/bge-reranker-large | xlm-roberta-large | Chinese and English | - | Lightweight reranker model, easy to deploy, with fast inference. | | BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3 | bge-m3 | Multilingual | - | Lightweight reranker model, possesses strong multilingual capabilities, easy to deploy, with fast inference. | | BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-gemma | gemma-2b | Multilingual | - | Suitable for multilingual contexts, performs well in both English proficiency and multilingual capabilities. | | BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-minicpm-layerwise | MiniCPM-2B-dpo-bf16 | Multilingual | 8-40 | Suitable for multilingual contexts, performs well in both English and Chinese proficiency, allows freedom to select layers for output, facilitating accelerated inference. |

You can select the model according your senario and resource.

• For multilingual, utilize BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3 and BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-gemma

• For Chinese or English, utilize BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3 and BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-minicpm-layerwise.

• For efficiency, utilize BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3 and the low layer of BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-minicpm-layerwise.

• For better performance, recommand BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-minicpm-layerwise and BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-gemma

Usage

Using FlagEmbedding

pip install -U FlagEmbedding

For normal reranker (bge-reranker-base / bge-reranker-large / bge-reranker-v2-m3 )

Get relevance scores (higher scores indicate more relevance):

from FlagEmbedding import FlagReranker
reranker = FlagReranker('BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3', use_fp16=True) # Setting use_fp16 to True speeds up computation with a slight performance degradation

score = reranker.compute_score(['query', 'passage'])
print(score) # -5.65234375

# You can map the scores into 0-1 by set "normalize=True", which will apply sigmoid function to the score
score = reranker.compute_score(['query', 'passage'], normalize=True)
print(score) # 0.003497010252573502

scores = reranker.compute_score([['what is panda?', 'hi'], ['what is panda?', 'The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), sometimes called a panda bear or simply panda, is a bear species endemic to China.']])
print(scores) # [-8.1875, 5.26171875]

# You can map the scores into 0-1 by set "normalize=True", which will apply sigmoid function to the score
scores = reranker.compute_score([['what is panda?', 'hi'], ['what is panda?', 'The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), sometimes called a panda bear or simply panda, is a bear species endemic to China.']], normalize=True)
print(scores) # [0.00027803096387751553, 0.9948403768236574]

For LLM-based reranker

from FlagEmbedding import FlagLLMReranker
reranker = FlagLLMReranker('BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-gemma', use_fp16=True) # Setting use_fp16 to True speeds up computation with a slight performance degradation
# reranker = FlagLLMReranker('BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-gemma', use_bf16=True) # You can also set use_bf16=True to speed up computation with a slight performance degradation

score = reranker.compute_score(['query', 'passage'])
print(score)

scores = reranker.compute_score([['what is panda?', 'hi'], ['what is panda?', 'The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), sometimes called a panda bear or simply panda, is a bear species endemic to China.']])
print(scores)

For LLM-based layerwise reranker

from FlagEmbedding import LayerWiseFlagLLMReranker
reranker = LayerWiseFlagLLMReranker('BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-minicpm-layerwise', use_fp16=True) # Setting use_fp16 to True speeds up computation with a slight performance degradation
# reranker = LayerWiseFlagLLMReranker('BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-minicpm-layerwise', use_bf16=True) # You can also set use_bf16=True to speed up computation with a slight performance degradation

score = reranker.compute_score(['query', 'passage'], cutoff_layers=[28]) # Adjusting 'cutoff_layers' to pick which layers are used for computing the score.
print(score)

scores = reranker.compute_score([['what is panda?', 'hi'], ['what is panda?', 'The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), sometimes called a panda bear or simply panda, is a bear species endemic to China.']], cutoff_layers=[28])
