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.

Here, we introduce a lightweight reranker bge-reranker-v2.5-gemma2-lightweight, which is a multilingual model trained based on gemma2-9b. By integrating token compression capabilities and layerwise reduction, the model can maintain outstanding performance while saving significant resources.

Our model primarily demonstrates the following capabilities:

• Lightweight: The model can be made lightweight through token compression, layerwise reduction, or a combination of both.
• Outstanding performance: The model has achieved new state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on both BEIR and MIRACL.

We will release a technical report about lightweight reranker soon with more details.

---

You can use bge-reranker-v2.5-gemma2-lightweight with the following different prompts:

• Predict whether passage B contains an answer to query A.
• Predict whether passages A and B have the same meaning.
• Predict whether queries A and B are asking the same thing.
• Predict whether argument A and counterargument B express contradictory opinions.

Model List

You can select the model according your senario and resource.

• For multilingual, utilize BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3, BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-gemma and BAAI/bge-reranker-v2.5-gemma2-lightweight

• 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

git clone https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding.git
cd FlagEmbedding
pip install -e .

For LLM-based lightweight reranker

from FlagEmbedding import LightWeightFlagLLMReranker
reranker = LightWeightFlagLLMReranker('BAAI/bge-reranker-v2.5-gemma2-lightweight', use_fp16=True) # Setting use_fp16 to True speeds up computation with a slight performance degradation

score = reranker.compute_score(['query', 'passage'], cutoff_layers=[28], compress_ratio=2, compress_layer=[24, 40]) # 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], compress_ratio=2, compress_layer=[24, 40])
print(scores)
