A Cross-Encoder concatenates a query with each candidate document and feeds them jointly into the same model, capturing word-level interactions through the attention mechanism; its ranking precision is superior to vector similarity, but latency grows linearly with the size of the candidate set.

VerifiedThe reranking stage typically uses a Cross-Encoder, which jointly encodes the query and document by concatenating them, enabling more accurate relevance judgment than bi-encoder models but at a higher computational cost.84% similarUnverifiedBi-Encoder将问题和文档分别独立编码成向量再计算相似度，Cross-Encoder将问题和候选文档拼接后一起输入模型通过注意力机制充分交互81% similarUnverifiedA cross-encoder concatenates the query and document into a single sequence for joint encoding via full attention mechanisms, offering high accuracy but with O(n) computational complexity, making it suitable only for re-ranking the top-K results (typically 20–100 items) from initial retrieval.80% similarUnverifiedRerankers are typically implemented using cross-encoders, which concatenate the query and document and feed them jointly into a Transformer model, achieving significantly higher ranking precision than the initial retrieval stage75% similar
