Rerankers 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 stage

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.80% similarVerifiedThe Transformer's encoder is responsible for mapping the input sequence to a contextual representation and is suitable for classification and understanding tasks, while the decoder autoregressively generates the output sequence and is suitable for text generation tasks77% similarUnverifiedTransformer uses Positional Encoding to retain word order information while performing parallel computation.75% similarVerifiedA 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.75% similarUnverifiedA cross-encoder concatenates two texts as input to a Transformer and captures precise matching signals through self-attention, but its computational cost is hundreds of times that of a bi-encoder.75% similar
