Polish Reranker Roberta V2

🚀 Polish Reranker RoBERTa v2

An improved text reranker based on Polish RoBERTa, achieving high performance with a smaller model size.

🚀 Quick Start

This is an improved version of reranker based on sdadas/polish-roberta-large-v2 trained with RankNet loss on a large dataset of text pairs. The model was trained in the same way and on the same data as sdadas/polish-reranker-large-ranknet, with the following improvements:

• We used predictions from BAAI/bge-reranker-v2.5-gemma2-lightweight for distillation instead of unicamp-dl/mt5-13b-mmarco-100k.
• We used a custom implementation of the RoBERTa model with support for Flash Attention 2. If you want to use these features, load the model with the arguments trust_remote_code=True and attn_implementation="flash_attention_2".

Our reranker achieves results close to BAAI/bge-reranker-v2.5-gemma2-lightweight on the PIRB benchmark, even outperforming it on some datasets. At the same time, it is over 21 times smaller — 435M vs. 9.24B parameters.

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import numpy as np

query = "Jak dożyć 100 lat?"
answers = [
    "Trzeba zdrowo się odżywiać i uprawiać sport.",
    "Trzeba pić alkohol, imprezować i jeździć szybkimi autami.",
    "Gdy trwała kampania politycy zapewniali, że rozprawią się z zakazem niedzielnego handlu."
]

model_name = "sdadas/polish-reranker-roberta-v2"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(
    model_name,
    trust_remote_code=True,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    attn_implementation="flash_attention_2",
    device_map="cuda"
)
texts = [f"{query}</s></s>{answer}" for answer in answers]
tokens = tokenizer(texts, padding="longest", max_length=512, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt").to("cuda")
output = model(**tokens)
results = output.logits.detach().cpu().float().numpy()
results = np.squeeze(results)
print(results.tolist())
