crossencoder-camembert-L6-mmarcoFR
This is a cross-encoder model for French. It performs cross-attention between a question-passage pair and outputs a relevance score. The model should be used as a reranker for semantic search: given a query and a set of potentially relevant passages retrieved by an efficient first-stage retrieval system (e.g., BM25 or a fine-tuned dense single-vector bi-encoder), encode each query-passage pair and sort the passages in a decreasing order of relevance according to the model's predicted scores.
Usage
Here are some examples for using the model with Sentence-Transformers, FlagEmbedding, or Huggingface Transformers.
Using Sentence-Transformers
Start by installing the library: pip install -U sentence-transformers
. Then, you can use the model like this:
from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder
pairs = [('Question', 'Paragraphe 1'), ('Question', 'Paragraphe 2') , ('Question', 'Paragraphe 3')]
model = CrossEncoder('antoinelouis/crossencoder-camembert-L6-mmarcoFR')
scores = model.predict(pairs)
print(scores)
Using FlagEmbedding
Start by installing the library: pip install -U FlagEmbedding
. Then, you can use the model like this:
from FlagEmbedding import FlagReranker
pairs = [('Question', 'Paragraphe 1'), ('Question', 'Paragraphe 2') , ('Question', 'Paragraphe 3')]
reranker = FlagReranker('antoinelouis/crossencoder-camembert-L6-mmarcoFR')
scores = reranker.compute_score(pairs)
print(scores)
Using HuggingFace Transformers
Start by installing the library: pip install -U transformers
. Then, you can use the model like this:
import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
pairs = [('Question', 'Paragraphe 1'), ('Question', 'Paragraphe 2') , ('Question', 'Paragraphe 3')]
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('antoinelouis/crossencoder-camembert-L6-mmarcoFR')
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('antoinelouis/crossencoder-camembert-L6-mmarcoFR')
model.eval()
with torch.no_grad():
inputs = tokenizer(pairs, padding=True, truncation=True, return_tensors='pt', max_length=512)
scores = model(**inputs, return_dict=True).logits.view(-1, ).float()
print(scores)
Evaluation
The model is evaluated on the smaller development set of mMARCO-fr, which consists of 6,980 queries for which an ensemble of 1000 passages containing the positive(s) and ColBERTv2 hard negatives need to be reranked. We report the mean reciprocal rank (MRR) and recall at various cut-offs (R@k). To see how it compares to other neural retrievers in French, check out the DécouvrIR leaderboard.
Training
Data
We use the French training samples from the mMARCO dataset, a multilingual machine-translated version of MS MARCO that contains 8.8M passages and 539K training queries. We do not use the BM25 negatives provided by the official dataset but instead sample harder negatives mined from 12 distinct dense retrievers, using the msmarco-hard-negatives distillation dataset. Eventually, we sample 2.6M training triplets of the form (query, passage, relevance) with a positive-to-negative ratio of 1 (i.e., 50% of the pairs are relevant and 50% are irrelevant).
Implementation
The model is initialized from the antoinelouis/camembert-L6 checkpoint and optimized via the binary cross-entropy loss (as in monoBERT). It is fine-tuned on one 80GB NVIDIA H100 GPU for 20k steps using the AdamW optimizer with a batch size of 128 and a constant learning rate of 2e-5. We set the maximum sequence length of the concatenated question-passage pairs to 256 tokens. We use the sigmoid function to get scores between 0 and 1.
