Pemeringkatan Ulang Cross-Encoder dengan Cohere dan BGE

Apa Itu Cross-Encoder?

# Bi-encoder: separate encoding
query_vec = encoder.encode(query)          # [768] vector
doc_vec = encoder.encode(document)         # [768] vector
score = cosine_similarity(query_vec, doc_vec)  # compare independently

# Cross-encoder: joint encoding
combined_input = '[CLS] ' + query + ' [SEP] ' + document + ' [SEP]'
logits = cross_encoder.forward(combined_input)  # score from joint attention
# The model attends from every query token to every document token
