gte-multilingual-reranker-base

The gte-multilingual-reranker-base model is the first reranker model in the GTE family of models, featuring several key attributes:

  • High Performance: Achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) results in multilingual retrieval tasks and multi-task representation model evaluations when compared to reranker models of similar size.
  • Training Architecture: Trained using an encoder-only transformers architecture, resulting in a smaller model size. Unlike previous models based on decode-only LLM architecture (e.g., gte-qwen2-1.5b-instruct), this model has lower hardware requirements for inference, offering a 10x increase in inference speed.
  • Long Context: Supports text lengths up to 8192 tokens.
  • Multilingual Capability: Supports over 70 languages.

Model Information

  • Model Size: 306M
  • Max Input Tokens: 8192

Usage

Using Huggingface transformers (transformers>=4.36.0)

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer

model_name_or_path = "Alibaba-NLP/gte-multilingual-reranker-base"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(
    model_name_or_path, trust_remote_code=True,
    torch_dtype=torch.float16
)
model.eval()

pairs = [["中国的首都在哪儿"，"北京"], ["what is the capital of China?", "北京"], ["how to implement quick sort in python?","Introduction of quick sort"]]
with torch.no_grad():
    inputs = tokenizer(pairs, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt', max_length=512)
    scores = model(**inputs, return_dict=True).logits.view(-1, ).float()
    print(scores)

# tensor([1.2315, 0.5923, 0.3041])

Evaluation

Cloud API Services

In addition to the open-source GTE series models, GTE series models are also available as commercial API services on Alibaba Cloud.

  • Embedding Models: Rhree versions of the text embedding models are available: text-embedding-v1/v2/v3, with v3 being the latest API service.
  • ReRank Models: The gte-rerank model service is available.

Note that the models behind the commercial APIs are not entirely identical to the open-source models.
