用法

交叉编码器(Cross Encoder,又名重排序器)模型的特点

  1. 给定成对的文本,计算一个相似度分数

  2. 与句子转换器(Sentence Transformer,又名双编码器)模型相比,通常能提供更优的性能

  3. 通常比句子转换器模型更慢,因为它需要为每一对文本进行计算,而不是为每个文本单独计算。

  4. 由于上述两个特点,交叉编码器通常用于对句子转换器模型返回的 top-k 结果进行重排序

当你安装好 Sentence Transformers 后,就可以轻松使用交叉编码器模型。

from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder

# 1. Load a pre-trained CrossEncoder model
model = CrossEncoder("cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L6-v2")

# 2. Predict scores for a pair of sentences
scores = model.predict([
    ("How many people live in Berlin?", "Berlin had a population of 3,520,031 registered inhabitants in an area of 891.82 square kilometers."),
    ("How many people live in Berlin?", "Berlin is well known for its museums."),
])
# => array([ 8.607138 , -4.3200774], dtype=float32)

# 3. Rank a list of passages for a query
query = "How many people live in Berlin?"
passages = [
