__call__()

This operation in BGERerankFunction takes in a query and document strings and returns a list of RerankResult objects with the top k documents ranked by score.

Request syntax

# Instance created
bge_rf = BGERerankFunction()

# __call__ method will be called
bge_rf(
    query: str,
    documents: List[str],
    top_k: int = 5
) -> List[RerankResult]

PARAMETERS:

• query (string)

  The query string to use for ranking.

• documents (List[str])

  A list of document strings that will be ranked for the given query.

• top_k (int)

  The maximum number of top ranked documents to return. Defaults to 5.

RETURN TYPE:

List[RerankResult]

RETURNS:

A list of RerankResult objects.

├── RerankResult
|    └── text
|    └── score
|    └── index

Each RerankResult object contains:

• text: The matched document text.

• score: The score assigned to that document by the reranking model.

• index: The index of the document in the original documents list.

EXCEPTIONS:

• ImportError

  This exception will be raised when the FlagEmbedding module is not installed.

Examples

from pymilvus.model.reranker import BGERerankFunction

# Define the rerank function
bge_rf = BGERerankFunction(
    model_name="BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3",  # Specify the model name. Defaults to `BAAI/bge-reranker-v2-m3`.
    device="cpu" # Specify the device to use, e.g., 'cpu' or 'cuda:0'
)
