Model Card for passage-ranker.pistachio
This model is a passage ranker developed by Sinequa. It produces a relevance score given a query-passage pair and is used to order search results.
Model name: passage-ranker.pistachio
Supported Languages
The model was trained and tested in the following languages:
- English
- French
- German
- Spanish
- Italian
- Dutch
- Japanese
- Portuguese
- Chinese (simplified)
- Polish
Besides the aforementioned languages, basic support can be expected for additional 93 languages that were used during the pretraining of the base model (see list of languages).
Scores
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| English Relevance (NDCG@10) | 0.474 |
| Polish Relevance (NDCG@10) | 0.380 |
Note that the relevance score is computed as an average over several retrieval datasets (see details below).
Inference Times
| GPU | Quantization type | Batch size 1 | Batch size 32 |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA A10 | FP16 | 2 ms | 28 ms |
| NVIDIA A10 | FP32 | 4 ms | 82 ms |
| NVIDIA T4 | FP16 | 3 ms | 65 ms |
| NVIDIA T4 | FP32 | 14 ms | 369 ms |
| NVIDIA L4 | FP16 | 3 ms | 38 ms |
| NVIDIA L4 | FP32 | 5 ms | 123 ms |
Gpu Memory usage
| Quantization type | Memory |
|---|---|
| FP16 | 850 MiB |
| FP32 | 1200 MiB |
Note that GPU memory usage only includes how much GPU memory the actual model consumes on an NVIDIA T4 GPU with a batch size of 32. It does not include the fix amount of memory that is consumed by the ONNX Runtime upon initialization which can be around 0.5 to 1 GiB depending on the used GPU.
Requirements
- Minimal Sinequa version: 11.10.0
- Minimal Sinequa version for using FP16 models and GPUs with CUDA compute capability of 8.9+ (like NVIDIA L4): 11.11.0
- Cuda compute capability: above 5.0 (above 6.0 for FP16 use)
