# RankVideo
RankVideo is a video-native reasoning reranker for text-to-video retrieval, fine-tuned from [Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct).
The model explicitly reasons over query-video pairs using video content to assess relevance. It was introduced in the paper [RANKVIDEO: Reasoning Reranking for Text-to-Video Retrieval](https://huggingface.co/papers/2602.02444).

## Training Data
This model was trained using the [MultiVENT 2.0 dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/hltcoe/MultiVENT2.0).
## Usage
You can use the model for scoring query-video pairs via the `rankvideo` library as follows:
```python
from rankvideo import VLMReranker
reranker = VLMReranker(model_path="hltcoe/RankVideo")
# Score query-video pairs for relevance
scores = reranker.score_batch(
queries=["person playing guitar"],
video_paths=["/path/to/video.mp4"],
)
print(f"Relevance score: {scores[0]['logit_delta_yes_minus_no']:.3f}")
```
