Cross-Encoder for MS Marco



This model was trained on the MS Marco Passage Ranking task.

The model can be used for Information Retrieval: Given a query, encode the query will all possible passages (e.g. retrieved with ElasticSearch). Then sort the passages in a decreasing order. See SBERT.net Retrieve & Re-rank for more details. The training code is available here: SBERT.net Training MS Marco

Usage with SentenceTransformers



The usage is easy when you have SentenceTransformers installed. Then you can use the pre-trained models like this:
python
from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder

model = CrossEncoder('cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L6-v2') 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."), ]) print(scores)

[ 8.607138 -4.320078]



Usage with Transformers



python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import torch

model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L6-v2') tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L6-v2')

features = tokenizer(['How many people live in Berlin?', 'How many people live in Berlin?'], ['Berlin has a population of 3,520,031 registered inhabitants in an area of 891.82 square kilometers.', 'New York City is famous for the Metropolitan Museum of Art.'], padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")

model.eval() with torch.no_grad(): scores = model(**features).logits print(scores)
