__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'
