mmBERT-small reranker (LambdaLoss NDCG2++)

This is a Cross Encoder model finetuned from jhu-clsp/mmBERT-small on the product_similarity_dataset dataset using the sentence-transformers library. It computes scores for pairs of texts, which can be used for text reranking and semantic search.

Usage

Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)

First install the Sentence Transformers library:

pip install -U sentence-transformers

Then you can load this model and run inference.

from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = CrossEncoder("Antix5/product-reranker-mmBERT-small")
# Get scores for pairs of texts
pairs = [
    ['Milk Belgian Chocolate', 'Milk Chocolate Flavor'],
]
scores = model.predict(pairs)
print(scores.shape)
# (3,)

# Or rank different texts based on similarity to a single text
ranks = model.rank(
    '70 % Cacao Dark Chocolate With Coconut',
    [
        'DRK CHCLT BAR, COCONUT',
        'Coconut Cream Filled Dark Chocolate',
        'Blueberry & Dark Chocolate With Chia',
    ]
)
# [{'corpus_id': ..., 'score': ...}, {'corpus_id': ..., 'score': ...}, ...]
