# gte-reranker-modernbert-base

We are excited to introduce the `gte-modernbert` series of models, which are built upon the latest modernBERT pre-trained encoder-only foundation models. The `gte-modernbert` series models include both text embedding models and rerank models.

The `gte-modernbert` models demonstrates competitive performance in several text embedding and text retrieval evaluation tasks when compared to similar-scale models from the current open-source community. This includes assessments such as **MTEB**, **LoCO**, and **COIR** evaluation.

## Model Overview

- Developed by: Tongyi Lab, Alibaba Group
- Model Type: Text Embedding
- Primary Language: English
- Model Size: 149M
- Max Input Length: 8192 tokens

## Usage

Use with `Transformers`

```python
# Requires transformers>=4.48.0

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer

model_name_or_path = 'Alibaba-NLP/gte-reranker-modernbert-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 = [["what is the capital of China?", "Beijing"], ["how to implement quick sort in python?","Introduction of quick sort"], ["how to implement quick sort in python?", "The weather is nice today"]]

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])
```

Use with `sentence-transformers`:

Before you start, install the sentence-transformers libraries:
```
pip install sentence-transformers
```


```python
# Requires sentence_transformers>=2.7.0
from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder

model_name_or_path = 'Alibaba-NLP/gte-reranker-modernbert-base'

model = CrossEncoder(
    model_name_or_path,
    automodel_args={"torch_dtype": "auto"},
    trust_remote_code=True,
)

pairs = [["what is the capital of China?", "Beijing"], ["how to implement quick sort in python?","Introduction of quick sort"], ["how to implement quick sort in python?", "The weather is nice today"]]

scores = model.predict(sentence_pairs, convert_to_tensor=True).tolist()

print ("scores: ", scores)
```

## Training Details

The `gte-modernbert` series of models follows the training scheme of the previous [GTE models](https://huggingface.co./collections/Alibaba-NLP/gte-models-6680f0b13f885cb431e6d469), with the only difference being that the pre-training language model base has been replaced from [GTE-MLM](https://huggingface.co./Alibaba-NLP/gte-en-mlm-base) to [ModernBert](https://huggingface.co./answerdotai/ModernBERT-base). For more training details, please refer to our paper: [mGTE: Generalized Long-Context Text Representation and Reranking Models for Multilingual Text Retrieval](https://aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-industry.103/)

## Evaluation

### MTEB

The results of other models are retrieved from [MTEB leaderboard](https://huggingface.co./spaces/mteb/leaderboard). Given that all models in the `gte-modernbert` series have a size of less than 1B parameters, we focused exclusively on the results of models under 1B from the MTEB leaderboard.
