Qwen3 Reranker models can be fine-tuned by SWIFT: https://github.com/modelscope/ms-swift

pip install ms-swift -U

SWIFT supports both pointwise and listwise training approaches. Pointwise treats each query-document pair as binary classification, while listwise learns relative ranking relationships between documents.

The dataset format is:

{"query": "your query", "positive": ["relevant_doc1", "relevant_doc2", ...], "negative": ["irrelevant_doc1", "irrelevant_doc2", ...]}
