|
| This model is a cross-encoder based on `bert-base-uncased`. It was trained on Ms-Marco using loss `infoNCE` as part of a reproducibility paper for training cross encoders: "**[Reproducing and Comparing Distillation Techniques for Cross-Encoders](http://arxiv.org/abs/2603.03010)**", see the paper for more details. |

| ## Model Description |
|
|
| This model is intended for **re-ranking** the top results returned by a retrieval system (like BM25, Bi-Encoders or SPLADE). |
|
|
| - **Training Data:** MS MARCO Passage |
| - **Language:** English |
| - **Loss** infoNCE |
|
|
| Training can be easily reproduced using the assiciated repository. |
| The exact training configuration used for this model is also detailed in [config.yaml](./config.yaml). |
|
|
| ## Usage |
|
|
| Quick Start: |
| ```python |
| from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification |
| import torch |
| |
| tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("xpmir/cross-encoder-bert-base-infoNCE") |
| model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("xpmir/cross-encoder-bert-base-infoNCE") |
| |
| features = tokenizer("What is experimaestro ?", "Experimaestro is a powerful framework for ML experiments management...", padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt") |
| |
| model.eval() |
| with torch.no_grad(): |
| scores = model(**features).logits |
| print(scores) |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Evaluations |
|
|
| We provide evaluations of this cross-encoder re-ranking the top `1000` documents retrieved by `naver/splade-v3-distilbert`. |
