# ModernBERT-base trained on GooAQ
This is a [Cross Encoder](https://www.sbert.net/docs/cross_encoder/usage/usage.html) model finetuned from [answerdotai/ModernBERT-base](https://huggingface.co/answerdotai/ModernBERT-base) using the [sentence-transformers](https://www.SBERT.net) library. It computes scores for pairs of texts, which can be used for text reranking and semantic search.
## Model Details
### Model Description
- **Model Type:** Cross Encoder
- **Base model:** [answerdotai/ModernBERT-base](https://huggingface.co/answerdotai/ModernBERT-base)
- **Maximum Sequence Length:** 8192 tokens
- **Number of Output Labels:** 1 label
- **Language:** en
- **License:** apache-2.0
### Model Sources
- **Documentation:** [Sentence Transformers Documentation](https://sbert.net)
- **Documentation:** [Cross Encoder Documentation](https://www.sbert.net/docs/cross_encoder/usage/usage.html)
- **Repository:** [Sentence Transformers on GitHub](https://github.com/UKPLab/sentence-transformers)
- **Hugging Face:** [Cross Encoders on Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/models?library=sentence-transformers&other=cross-encoder)
## Usage
### Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers)
First install the Sentence Transformers library:
```bash
pip install -U sentence-transformers
```
Then you can load this model and run inference.
```python
from sentence_transformers import CrossEncoder
# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = CrossEncoder("Oysiyl/reranker-ModernBERT-base-gooaq-bce")
# Get scores for pairs of texts
pairs = [
['what do you do with a degree in criminal justice?', "['Police Patrol Officer. Job Description. ... ', 'Criminal Investigators & Special Agents. Job Description. ... ', 'Private Detective or Investigator. ... ', 'First-Line Police Supervisor. ... ', 'Correctional Officer. ... ', 'Probation and Parole Officers. ... ', 'Postsecondary Criminal Justice & Law Enforcement Teachers.']"],
['what do you do with a degree in criminal justice?', "['Prison officer. ... ', 'Police officer. ... ', 'Detective. ... ', 'Criminologist. ... ', 'Probation officer. ... ', 'Forensic scientist. ... ', 'Crime Scene investigator. ... ', 'Court reporter.']"],
['what do you do with a degree in criminal justice?', "A high school diploma is required to work as a detective. In some cases a bachelor's degree in criminal justice or law enforcement may be needed. Experience in law enforcement is usually required, but the amount varies by employer."],
['what do you do with a degree in criminal justice?', "['Court Reporter. ... ', 'Criminal Intelligence Analyst. ... ', 'Forensic Accountant. ... ', 'Police Officer and Police Support Roles. ... ', 'Immigration, Customs and Border Roles. ... ', 'Prison Officer. ... ', 'Probation Officer. ... ', 'Scene of Crime Officer.']"],
['what do you do with a degree in criminal justice?', "Crime Scene Investigator Education and Training Although a high school diploma or equivalent is a minimum requirement for some positions, many police departments and law enforcement agencies prefer a minimum of an associate's (two-year) or a bachelor's (four-year) degree in criminal justice or a natural science."],
]
scores = model.predict(pairs)
print(scores.shape)
# (5,)
# Or rank different texts based on similarity to a single text
ranks = model.rank(
'what do you do with a degree in criminal justice?',
[
"['Police Patrol Officer. Job Description. ... ', 'Criminal Investigators & Special Agents. Job Description. ... ', 'Private Detective or Investigator. ... ', 'First-Line Police Supervisor. ... ', 'Correctional Officer. ... ', 'Probation and Parole Officers. ... ', 'Postsecondary Criminal Justice & Law Enforcement Teachers.']",
"['Prison officer. ... ', 'Police officer. ... ', 'Detective. ... ', 'Criminologist. ... ', 'Probation officer. ... ', 'Forensic scientist. ... ', 'Crime Scene investigator. ... ', 'Court reporter.']",
"A high school diploma is required to work as a detective. In some cases a bachelor's degree in criminal justice or law enforcement may be needed. Experience in law enforcement is usually required, but the amount varies by employer.",
