The model can be used for Information Retrieval: given a query, encode the query will all possible passages. Then sort the passages in a decreasing order.

## Training Data

This model was trained on a custom biomedical q&a ranking dataset.

## Usage and Performance

```python
from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder
model = CrossEncoder('efederici/cross-encoder-distilbert-it')
scores = model.predict([('Sentence 1', 'Sentence 2'), ('Sentence 3', 'Sentence 4')])
```

The model will predict scores for the pairs `('Sentence 1', 'Sentence 2')` and `('Sentence 3', 'Sentence 4')`.
