Can this be used as a reranker ?
Can this model be used as a better reranker than jina-reranker-v2-base-multilingual, or is it just suitable for normal embedding tasks?
Thank you for your question! The jinaai/jina-embeddings-v3 model is designed specifically for text embeddings, optimized for generating dense representations of text that can be used in tasks like text matching and retrieval, clustering, or STS. However, it’s not tailored for reranking purposes, where finer-grained relevance judgments are crucial.
For reranking tasks, jina-reranker-v2-base-multilingual would be a better choice. Rerankers are trained to focus on relevance and ranking scores, providing more accurate prioritization of results after initial retrieval, which embedding models alone aren’t optimized to handle.
