## MiniCPM-Reranker-Light

**MiniCPM-Reranker-Light** 是面壁智能与清华大学自然语言处理实验室（THUNLP）、东北大学信息检索小组（NEUIR）共同开发的中英双语言文本重排序模型，有如下特点：
- 出色的中文、英文重排序能力。
- 出色的中英跨语言重排序能力。
- 支持长文本（最长8192token）。

MiniCPM-Reranker-Light 基于 [MiniCPM-1B-sft-bf16](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM-1B-sft-bf16) 训练，结构上采取双向注意力。采取多阶段训练方式，共使用包括开源数据、机造数据、闭源数据在内的约 500 万条训练数据。

- 领域自适应RAG框架：[UltraRAG](https://github.com/openbmb/UltraRAG)

**MiniCPM-Reranker-Light** is a bilingual & cross-lingual text re-ranking model developed by ModelBest Inc. , THUNLP and NEUIR , featuring:

- Exceptional Chinese and English re-ranking capabilities.
- Outstanding cross-lingual re-ranking capabilities between Chinese and English.
- Long-text support (up to 8192 tokens).

MiniCPM-Reranker-Light is trained based on [MiniCPM-1B-sft-bf16](https://huggingface.co/openbmb/MiniCPM-1B-sft-bf16) and incorporates bidirectional attention in its architecture. The model underwent multi-stage training using approximately 6 million training examples, including open-source, synthetic, and proprietary data.

## 模型信息 Model Information

- 模型大小：1.2B
- 最大输入token数：8192

- Model Size: 1.2B
- Max Input Tokens: 8192

## 使用方法 Usage

### 输入格式 Input Format

本模型支持指令，输入格式如下：

MiniCPM-Reranker-Light supports instructions in the following format:

```
<s>Instruction: {{ instruction }} Query: {{ query }}</s>{{ document }}
```

例如：

For example:

```
<s>Instruction: 为这个医学问题检索相关回答。Query: 咽喉癌的成因是什么？</s>（文档省略）
```

```
<s>Instruction: Given a claim about climate change, retrieve documents that support or refute the claim. Query: However the warming trend is slower than most climate models have forecast.</s>(document omitted)
```

也可以不提供指令，即采取如下格式：

MiniCPM-Reranker-Light also works in instruction-free mode in the following format:

```
<s>Query: {{ query }}</s>{{ document }}
```

我们在BEIR与C-MTEB/Retrieval上测试时使用的指令见 `instructions.json`，其他测试不使用指令。

When running evaluation on BEIR and C-MTEB/Retrieval, we use instructions in `instructions.json`. For other evaluations, we do not use instructions. 

### 环境要求 Requirements

```
transformers==4.37.2
```

### 示例脚本 Demo

#### Huggingface Transformers

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import torch

model_name = "openbmb/MiniCPM-Reranker-Light"
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True, torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")
# You can also use the following code to use flash_attention_2
# model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name, trust_remote_code=True,attn_implementation="flash_attention_2", torch_dtype=torch.float16).to("cuda")
model.eval()

query = "中国的首都是哪里？" # "Where is the capital of China?"
passages = ["beijing", "shanghai"] # 北京，上海

rerank_score = model.rerank(query, passages,query_instruction="Query:", batch_size=32, max_length=1024)
print(rerank_score) #[0.01791382 0.00024533]


sentence_pairs = [[f"Query: {query}", doc] for doc in passages]
scores = model.compute_score(sentence_pairs, batch_size=32, max_length=1024)
print(scores) #[0.01791382 0.00024533]
```

#### Sentence Transformer

query = INSTRUCTION + query

sentence_pairs = [[query, doc] for doc in passages]

scores = model.predict(sentence_pairs, convert_to_tensor=True).tolist()
rankings = model.rank(query, passages, return_documents=True, convert_to_tensor=True)

print(scores) # [0.017913818359375, 0.0002453327178955078]
for ranking in rankings:
    print(f"Score: {ranking['score']:.4f}, Corpus: {ranking['text']}")
