# Model Card for `passage-ranker-v1-XS-multilingual` |
|
|
|
This model is a passage ranker developed by Sinequa. It produces a relevance score given a query-passage pair and is |
|
used to order search results. |
|
|
|
Model name: `passage-ranker-v1-XS-multilingual` |
|
|
|
## Supported Languages |
|
|
|
The model was trained and tested in the following languages: |
|
|
|
- English |
|
- French |
|
- German |
|
- Spanish |
|
|
|
## Scores |
|
|
|
| Metric | Value | |
|
|:--------------------|------:| |
|
| Relevance (NDCG@10) | 0.453 | |
|
|
|
Note that the relevance score is computed as an average over 14 retrieval datasets (see |
|
[details below](#evaluation-metrics)). |
|
|
|
## Inference Times |
|
|
|
| GPU | Batch size 32 | |
|
|:-----------|--------------:| |
|
| NVIDIA A10 | 8 ms | |
|
| NVIDIA T4 | 21 ms | |
|
|
|
The inference times only measure the time the model takes to process a single batch, it does not include pre- or |
|
post-processing steps like the tokenization. |
|
|
|
## Requirements |
|
|
|
- Minimal Sinequa version: 11.10.0 |
|
- GPU memory usage: 300 MiB |
|
|
|
Note that GPU memory usage only includes how much GPU memory the actual model consumes on an NVIDIA T4 GPU with a batch |
|
size of 32. It does not include the fix amount of memory that is consumed by the ONNX Runtime upon initialization which |
|
can be around 0.5 to 1 GiB depending on the used GPU. |
|
|

|
|
### Evaluation Metrics |
|
|
|
To determine the relevance score, we averaged the results that we obtained when evaluating on the datasets of the |
|
[BEIR benchmark](https://github.com/beir-cellar/beir). Note that all these datasets are in English. |

|
|
We evaluated the model on the datasets of the [MIRACL benchmark](https://github.com/project-miracl/miracl) to test its |
|
multilingual capacities. Note that not all training languages are part of the benchmark, so we only report the metrics |
|
for the existing languages. |
