+\*: If you need to search the relevant passages to a query, we suggest to add the instruction to the query; in other cases, no instruction is needed, just use the original query directly. In all cases, **no instruction** needs to be added to passages.
+
+\**: Different embedding model, reranker is a cross-encoder, which cannot be used to generate embedding. To balance the accuracy and time cost, cross-encoder is widely used to re-rank top-k documents retrieved by other simple models. 
+For examples, use bge embedding model to retrieve top 100 relevant documents, and then use bge reranker to re-rank the top 100 document to get the final top-3 results.

+
+## Frequently asked questions
+
+<details>
+  <summary>1. How to fine-tune bge embedding model?</summary>
+
+  <!-- ### How to fine-tune bge embedding model? -->
+Following this [example](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master/examples/finetune) to prepare data and fine-tune your model. 
+Some suggestions:
+- Mine hard negatives following this [example](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master/examples/finetune#hard-negatives), which can improve the retrieval performance.
+- If you pre-train bge on your data, the pre-trained model cannot be directly used to calculate similarity, and it must be fine-tuned with contrastive learning before computing similarity.
+- If the accuracy of the fine-tuned model is still not high, it is recommended to use/fine-tune the cross-encoder model (bge-reranker) to re-rank top-k results. Hard negatives also are needed to fine-tune reranker.
+
+

+
+<details>
+  <summary>2. The similarity score between two dissimilar sentences is higher than 0.5</summary>
+
+  <!-- ### The similarity score between two dissimilar sentences is higher than 0.5 -->
+**Suggest to use bge v1.5, which alleviates the issue of the similarity distribution.** 
+
+Since we finetune the models by contrastive learning with a temperature of 0.01, 
+the similarity distribution of the current BGE model is about in the interval \[0.6, 1\].
+So a similarity score greater than 0.5 does not indicate that the two sentences are similar.
+
+For downstream tasks, such as passage retrieval or semantic similarity, 
+**what matters is the relative order of the scores, not the absolute value.**
+If you need to filter similar sentences based on a similarity threshold, 
+please select an appropriate similarity threshold based on the similarity distribution on your data (such as 0.8, 0.85, or even 0.9).
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary>3. When does the query instruction need to be used</summary>
+
+  <!-- ### When does the query instruction need to be used -->
+  
+For a retrieval task that uses short queries to find long related documents, 
+it is recommended to add instructions for these short queries.
+**The best method to decide whether to add instructions for queries is choosing the setting that achieves better performance on your task.**
+In all cases, the documents/passages do not need to add the instruction. 
+
+</details>
+
+
+## Usage 
+
+### Usage for Embedding Model
+
+Here are some examples for using `bge` models with 
+[FlagEmbedding](#using-flagembedding), [Sentence-Transformers](#using-sentence-transformers), [Langchain](#using-langchain), or [Huggingface Transformers](#using-huggingface-transformers).
+
+#### Using FlagEmbedding
+```
+pip install -U FlagEmbedding
+```
+If it doesn't work for you, you can see [FlagEmbedding](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/blob/master/FlagEmbedding/baai_general_embedding/README.md) for more methods to install FlagEmbedding.
+
+```python
+from FlagEmbedding import FlagModel
+sentences_1 = ["样例数据-1", "样例数据-2"]
+sentences_2 = ["样例数据-3", "样例数据-4"]
+model = FlagModel('BAAI/bge-large-zh', query_instruction_for_retrieval="为这个句子生成表示以用于检索相关文章：")
+embeddings_1 = model.encode(sentences_1)
+embeddings_2 = model.encode(sentences_2)
+similarity = embeddings_1 @ embeddings_2.T
+print(similarity)
+
+# for s2p(short query to long passage) retrieval task, suggest to use encode_queries() which will automatically add the instruction to each query
+# corpus in retrieval task can still use encode() or encode_corpus(), since they don't need instruction
+queries = ['query_1', 'query_2']
+passages = ["样例文档-1", "样例文档-2"]
+q_embeddings = model.encode_queries(queries)
+p_embeddings = model.encode(passages)
+scores = q_embeddings @ p_embeddings.T
+```
+For the value of the argument `query_instruction_for_retrieval`, see [Model List](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master#model-list). 
+
+By default, FlagModel will use all available GPUs when encoding. Please set `os.environ["CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES"]` to select specific GPUs.
+You also can set `os.environ["CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES"]=""` to make all GPUs unavailable.
+
+
+#### Using Sentence-Transformers
+
+You can also use the `bge` models with [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net):
+
+```
+pip install -U sentence-transformers
+```
+```python
+from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
+sentences_1 = ["样例数据-1", "样例数据-2"]
+sentences_2 = ["样例数据-3", "样例数据-4"]
+model = SentenceTransformer('BAAI/bge-large-zh')
+embeddings_1 = model.encode(sentences_1, normalize_embeddings=True)
+embeddings_2 = model.encode(sentences_2, normalize_embeddings=True)
+similarity = embeddings_1 @ embeddings_2.T
+print(similarity)
+```
+For s2p(short query to long passage) retrieval task, 
+each short query should start with an instruction (instructions see [Model List](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master#model-list)). 
+But the instruction is not needed for passages.
+```python
+from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
+queries = ['query_1', 'query_2']
+passages = ["样例文档-1", "样例文档-2"]
+instruction = "为这个句子生成表示以用于检索相关文章："
+
+model = SentenceTransformer('BAAI/bge-large-zh')
+q_embeddings = model.encode([instruction+q for q in queries], normalize_embeddings=True)
+p_embeddings = model.encode(passages, normalize_embeddings=True)
+scores = q_embeddings @ p_embeddings.T
+```
+
+#### Using Langchain 
+
+You can use `bge` in langchain like this:
+```python
+from langchain.embeddings import HuggingFaceBgeEmbeddings
+model_name = "BAAI/bge-small-en"
+model_kwargs = {'device': 'cuda'}
+encode_kwargs = {'normalize_embeddings': True} # set True to compute cosine similarity
+model = HuggingFaceBgeEmbeddings(
+    model_name=model_name,
+    model_kwargs=model_kwargs,
+    encode_kwargs=encode_kwargs,
+    query_instruction="为这个句子生成表示以用于检索相关文章："
+)
+model.query_instruction = "为这个句子生成表示以用于检索相关文章："
+```
+
+
+#### Using HuggingFace Transformers
+
+With the transformers package, you can use the model like this: First, you pass your input through the transformer model, then you select the last hidden state of the first token (i.e., [CLS]) as the sentence embedding.
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
+import torch
+# Sentences we want sentence embeddings for
+sentences = ["样例数据-1", "样例数据-2"]
+
+# Load model from HuggingFace Hub
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('BAAI/bge-large-zh')
+model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('BAAI/bge-large-zh')
+model.eval()
+
+# Tokenize sentences
+encoded_input = tokenizer(sentences, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')
+# for s2p(short query to long passage) retrieval task, add an instruction to query (not add instruction for passages)
+# encoded_input = tokenizer([instruction + q for q in queries], padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt')
+
+# Compute token embeddings
+with torch.no_grad():
+    model_output = model(**encoded_input)
+    # Perform pooling. In this case, cls pooling.
+    sentence_embeddings = model_output[0][:, 0]
+# normalize embeddings
+sentence_embeddings = torch.nn.functional.normalize(sentence_embeddings, p=2, dim=1)
+print("Sentence embeddings:", sentence_embeddings)
+```
+
+### Usage for Reranker
+
+You can get a relevance score by inputting query and passage to the reranker. 
+The reranker is optimized based cross-entropy loss, so the relevance score is not bounded to a specific range.
+
+
+#### Using FlagEmbedding
+```
+pip install -U FlagEmbedding
+```
+
+Get relevance score:
+```python
+from FlagEmbedding import FlagReranker
+reranker = FlagReranker('BAAI/bge-reranker-base', use_fp16=True) #use fp16 can speed up computing
+
+score = reranker.compute_score(['query', 'passage'])
+print(score)
+
+scores = reranker.compute_score([['what is panda?', 'hi'], ['what is panda?', 'The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), sometimes called a panda bear or simply panda, is a bear species endemic to China.']])
+print(scores)
+```
+
+
+#### Using Huggingface transformers
+
+```python
+import torch
+from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer, BatchEncoding, PreTrainedTokenizerFast
+
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('BAAI/bge-reranker-base')
+model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('BAAI/bge-reranker-base')
+model.eval()
+
+pairs = [['what is panda?', 'hi'], ['what is panda?', 'The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), sometimes called a panda bear or simply panda, is a bear species endemic to China.']]
+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)
+```

+## Train
+
+### BAAI Embedding 
+
+We pre-train the models using retromae and train them on large-scale pairs data using contrastive learning. 
+**You can fine-tune the embedding model on your data following our [examples](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master/examples/finetune).**
+We also provide a [pre-train example](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master/examples/pretrain).
+Note that the goal of pre-training is to reconstruct the text, and the pre-trained model cannot be used for similarity calculation directly, it needs to be fine-tuned.
+More training details for bge see [baai_general_embedding](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/blob/master/FlagEmbedding/baai_general_embedding/README.md).
+
+
+
+### BGE Reranker
+
+Cross-encoder will perform full-attention over the input pair, 
+which is more accurate than embedding model (i.e., bi-encoder) but more time-consuming than embedding model.
+Therefore, it can be used to re-rank the top-k documents returned by embedding model.
+We train the cross-encoder on a multilingual pair data, 
+The data format is the same as embedding model, so you can fine-tune it easily following our [example](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master/examples/reranker). 
+More details pelease refer to [./FlagEmbedding/reranker/README.md](https://github.com/FlagOpen/FlagEmbedding/tree/master/FlagEmbedding/reranker)
