+ # Model Details

12
+ > The approach of RAG, Multi-DPR, and KGI is to train a neural IR (Information Retrieval) component and further train it end-to-end through its impact in generating the correct output.
13
+ >
14
+ >It has been previously established that results from initial retrieval can be greatly improved through the use of a reranker. Therefore we hypothesized that natural language generation systems incorporating retrieval can benefit from reranking.
15
+ >
16
+ >In addition to improving the ranking of passages returned from DPR, a reranker can be used after merging the results of multiple retrieval methods with incomparable scores. For example, the scores returned by BM25 are not comparable to the inner products from DPR. Using the scores from a reranker, we can find the top-k documents from the union of DPR and BM25 results. The figure below illustrates our extension of RAG with a reranker. We call our system Re2G (*Re*trieve, *Re*rank, *G*enerate).

+ ## Training, Evaluation and Inference
21
+ The code for training, evaluation and inference is in our github in the [re2g branch](https://github.com/IBM/kgi-slot-filling/tree/re2g).
22
+
23
+ ## Usage
24
+
25
+ The best way to use the model is by adapting the [reranker_apply.py](https://github.com/IBM/kgi-slot-filling/blob/re2g/reranker/reranker_apply.py)
