ayushexel/reranker-ms-marco-MiniLM-L6-v2-gooaq-bce

ModernBERT-base trained on GooAQ

This is a Cross Encoder model finetuned from cross-encoder/ms-marco-MiniLM-L6-v2 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("ayushexel/reranker-ms-marco-MiniLM-L6-v2-gooaq-bce")
# Get scores for pairs of texts
