# jina-reranker-v1-tiny-en

This model is designed for **blazing-fast** reranking while maintaining **competitive performance**. What's more, it leverages the power of our [JinaBERT](https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.19923) model as its foundation. `JinaBERT` itself is a unique variant of the BERT architecture that supports the symmetric bidirectional variant of [ALiBi](https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.12409). This allows `jina-reranker-v1-tiny-en` to process significantly longer sequences of text compared to other reranking models, up to an impressive **8,192** tokens.

To achieve the remarkable speed, the `jina-reranker-v1-tiny-en` employ a technique called knowledge distillation. Here, a complex, but slower, model (like our original [jina-reranker-v1-base-en](https://jina.ai/reranker/)) acts as a teacher, condensing its knowledge into a smaller, faster student model. This student retains most of the teacher's knowledge, allowing it to deliver similar accuracy in a fraction of the time.

Here's a breakdown of the reranker models we provide:

| Model Name                                                                           | Layers | Hidden Size | Parameters (Millions) |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------ | ----------- | --------------------- |
| [jina-reranker-v1-base-en](https://jina.ai/reranker/)                                | 12     | 768         | 137.0                 |
| [jina-reranker-v1-turbo-en](https://huggingface.co/jinaai/jina-reranker-v1-turbo-en) | 6      | 384         | 37.8                  |
| [jina-reranker-v1-tiny-en](https://huggingface.co/jinaai/jina-reranker-v1-tiny-en)   | 4      | 384         | 33.0                  |

> Currently, the `jina-reranker-v1-base-en` model is not available on Hugging Face. You can access it via the [Jina AI Reranker API](https://jina.ai/reranker/).

As you can see, the `jina-reranker-v1-turbo-en` offers a balanced approach with **6 layers** and **37.8 million** parameters. This translates to fast search and reranking while preserving a high degree of accuracy. The `jina-reranker-v1-tiny-en` prioritizes speed even further, achieving the fastest inference speeds with its **4-layer**, **33.0 million** parameter architecture. This makes it ideal for scenarios where absolute top accuracy is less crucial.

# Usage

The easiest way to starting using `jina-reranker-v1-tiny-en` is to use Jina AI's [Reranker API](https://jina.ai/reranker/).

```bash
curl https://api.jina.ai/v1/rerank \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
  "model": "jina-reranker-v1-tiny-en",
  "query": "Organic skincare products for sensitive skin",
  "documents": [
    "Eco-friendly kitchenware for modern homes",
    "Biodegradable cleaning supplies for eco-conscious consumers",
    "Organic cotton baby clothes for sensitive skin",
    "Natural organic skincare range for sensitive skin",
    "Tech gadgets for smart homes: 2024 edition",
    "Sustainable gardening tools and compost solutions",
    "Sensitive skin-friendly facial cleansers and toners",
    "Organic food wraps and storage solutions",
    "All-natural pet food for dogs with allergies",
    "Yoga mats made from recycled materials"
  ],
  "top_n": 3
}'
```

Alternatively, you can use the `transformers` library to interact with the model programmatically.

```python
!pip install transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification

model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(
    'jinaai/jina-reranker-v1-tiny-en', num_labels=1, trust_remote_code=True
)

# Example query and documents
query = "Organic skincare products for sensitive skin"
documents = [
    "Eco-friendly kitchenware for modern homes",
    "Biodegradable cleaning supplies for eco-conscious consumers",
    "Organic cotton baby clothes for sensitive skin",
    "Natural organic skincare range for sensitive skin",
    "Tech gadgets for smart homes: 2024 edition",
    "Sustainable gardening tools and compost solutions",
    "Sensitive skin-friendly facial cleansers and toners",
    "Organic food wraps and storage solutions",
    "All-natural pet food for dogs with allergies",
    "Yoga mats made from recycled materials"
]

# construct sentence pairs
sentence_pairs = [[query, doc] for doc in documents]

scores = model.compute_score(sentence_pairs)
```

# Evaluation

| ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| `jina-rereanker-v1-base-en`                | **52.45**                  | **87.31**                 | **85.53**                 |

| `jina-rereanker-v1-tiny-en` (you are here) | **48.54**                  | **70.29**                 | **85.00**                 |
| `mxbai-rerank-base-v1`                     | 49.19                      | -                         | 82.50                     |
| `mxbai-rerank-xsmall-v1`                   | 48.80                      | -                         | 83.69                     |
| `ms-marco-MiniLM-L-6-v2`                   | 48.64                      | -                         | 82.63                     |
| `ms-marco-MiniLM-L-4-v2`                   | 47.81                      | -                         | 83.82                     |
| `bge-reranker-base`                        | 47.89                      | -                         | 83.03                     |

**Note:**

- `NDCG@10` is a measure of ranking quality, with higher scores indicating better search results. `Hit Rate` measures the percentage of relevant documents that appear in the top 10 search results.
- The results of LoCo datasets on other models are not available since they **do not support** long documents more than 512 tokens.
