Lesson 15 of 36Module 6

Rerank retrieved passages

Compare coverage, Gemini and a cross-encoder

Compare coverage, Gemini relevance and a pinned cross-encoder on frozen candidates, preserving passage identity and honest ranking limits.

Prerequisites

The preceding retrieval module and its preserved development recording.

By the end, you can

  • Score each supplied question-passage pair with an explicit nonlearned rule.
  • Retain original retrieval fields and stable incoming-rank ties.
  • Distinguish a candidate-generation miss from a reranking limitation.
Runtime
Python 3.12 with fcntl file locking; original pinned retrieval environment; optional Gemini API and local cross-encoder
Dependencies
langchain-core 1.7.0, numpy 2.5.4 and pydantic 2.14.1; complete pins in requirements.lock; Gemini REST needs no additional SDK; optional scorer pins in cross-encoder-requirements.lock

Add a second scoring stage to the hybrid retriever. This lab uses deterministic query-term coverage: it counts which distinct question tokens occur in each candidate passage. That baseline makes no model request. The comparisons below use Gemini and a local cross-encoder on frozen candidates.

When you need this. Use it when you want to inspect how a second stage reorders a fixed set of retrieved passages, including the cases where a simple scoring rule leaves the original mistake unchanged.

Prerequisites. Use the hybrid retrieval lab and its preserved development questions. Run with Python 3.12 or later and the pinned environment. The original embedding recording is reused unchanged.

This nonlearned scorer exposes matched question terms for each passage. It can reorder supplied candidates; it cannot recover a passage absent from that set.

Score the supplied question-passage pairs

Reranking means scoring candidates after retrieval and ordering that candidate set again. Here the scorer extracts distinct lowercase ASCII alphanumeric question tokens, checks their presence in the exact passage text, and divides the matched-token count by the question-token count. It records the matched terms beside the score.

The rule has no stemming, semantic matching or understanding of a requested operation. Repeated question terms do not receive repeated weight. The parser refuses an empty or oversized query before division, so an empty denominator is never treated as a match.

A cross-encoder instead runs a learned model over a question and passage together. That is a different scorer with its own model, runtime and evaluation requirements. The baseline implements the transparent coverage rule. The sections below compare that rule with a generative Gemini scorer and a dedicated local cross-encoder. Each scorer has a separate recorded run.

Preserve candidate identity while changing order

The scorer validates the versioned snapshot, then checks each candidate ID, source, version, URL and text against it. It cannot silently replace a retrieved passage with another text. It carries the original branch scores, ranks and fusion contributions into the result.

Altered candidate. An unknown ID, duplicate candidate or changed payload raises ValueError. Malformed IDs and nonfinite score fields are refused. This is a data-integrity contract for the supplied fixture, not an authorization system.

The output sorts by descending coverage and retains incoming rank when coverage ties. Only the final requested limit can reduce the output set. The scorer performs no new search, so a needed passage absent from its input remains absent.

Inspect the unchanged retrieval miss

The UTF-8 writing question gives the reading and writing passages equal coverage in this recording. The incoming reading passage therefore stays ahead. Matching words about text and encoding does not decide whether the passage describes reading or writing.

SourceIncoming rankMatched termsCoverageReranked position
path-read18, text, utf, when0.33333333333333331
path-write28, select, text, utf0.33333333333333332
json-text3select0.083333333333333333

The development traces retain their original order after coverage scoring. The unsupported backup question also receives ranked candidates; a nonzero coverage score does not show that the corpus specifies a backup policy. These failures remain in the record instead of being replaced by a better-looking example.

Unrecorded retrieval query. The end-to-end driver still uses the preserved-vector adapter before reranking. An unrecorded question is refused there. A standalone string-processing scorer accepting text does not expand the embedding replay’s query allowlist.

The scorer compares each supplied passage with the question in local memory. It exposes the features so that an ordering can be checked. This coverage run measures behavior on the supplied development cases. The later cross-encoder section adds a separate small ranking comparison; neither run measures serving capacity. This CLI supplies no network service.

}

Inspect query-token coverage, the empty candidate list and the altered-candidate refusal. Term coverage alone cannot establish that a passage answers the question.

Compare the recorded behavior

For the first case, compare matched terms in the table with the exact question and passage texts. Explain why the stable tie retains the original miss. Then inspect the controlled candidate-order check in the raw record: it reverses a retrieved list before scoring the same question. Distinguish that contract demonstration from an improvement on the unchanged development ranking.

The needed passage is absent from the supplied candidate set. What can the coverage reranker do?

Choose one answer, then check your reasoning.

Read the explanation

Keep candidate generation separate from candidate scoring and inspect misses before interpreting reranking.

Compare Gemini relevance with token coverage

The coverage scorer above is the preserved baseline. The added scorer sends the same question and candidate texts to Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite, a pretrained generative model. It asks for a relevance ordering, then checks that the reply contains every candidate ID exactly once. It preserves the original texts and retrieval scores. It does not train a model or run a dedicated cross-encoder.

The UTF-8 case places the writing passage before the reading passage in this new recording. The other cases retain their incoming source order. The backup question still receives a ranking even though the supplied passages do not define a backup policy. A ranking does not show that an answer exists.

These are the original development questions, not a held-out relevance benchmark. The model receives no expected source labels or old coverage scores. We made no prompt changes after observing this run. A passage absent from the candidate set is still absent after reranking.

Only the question and frozen candidate texts enter Gemini. The host checks the returned ID permutation and preserves the original passage payloads. Reranking cannot add a missing passage. This is a generative relevance scorer, not a dedicated cross-encoder.

The lab download includes the transport, saved requests and offline replay tests. To make a fresh paid run, provide your Gemini key through the environment and use the same budget ledger path for all three labs. The transport reserves spending before each request, keeps failed reservations and disables automatic retries. See the lab README for the exact model settings, certificate setup and budget limits. Offline tests never call Gemini.

Compare a dedicated cross-encoder

A cross-encoder tokenizes the question and each candidate passage together. Its classifier produces one relevance logit per pair. Sort these scores to reorder the existing candidates; the scorer cannot add a passage that retrieval missed. Unlike token coverage, it can use interactions between words in the question and passage. A high logit is not a calibrated probability and does not confirm that the passage supports an answer.

The added local run uses ms-marco-MiniLM-L6-v2 at revision 233902d25c440f23af6f7d6e94d2946bac0bee0a. It compares the original frozen hybrid candidates with coverage and retains the earlier Gemini ranking record. Inference uses local safetensors weights with remote code disabled. Inputs over 512 tokens are refused instead of silently truncated.

Use a separate environment for the optional scorer. The acquisition command downloads the six pinned model/tokenizer files; the inference command then loads only local files. The lab includes complete scorer dependency pins. Model weights stay outside the lab ZIP.

The broader comparison freezes twelve questions: four previously observed diagnostic questions and eight new validation strings. These still reuse a tiny four-document corpus and related intent families. Each new question scores every version-eligible passage, so this part tests ranking on an exhaustive fixture pool, rather than first-stage retrieval. Some version filters leave only one candidate. Unsupported questions have no target score and remain outside the answerable denominator.

The six answerable validation questions are all top-one hits for both scorers. This run does not show a validation gain over coverage. Keep the diagnostic result separate. The offline tests replay the actual saved logits against exact candidate identities, reject altered candidates and nonfinite scores, and remove a candidate to check that reranking cannot restore it. They do not perform fresh inference.

The official Sentence Transformers retrieve-and-rerank guide, checked on 23 October 2026, describes first-stage candidate retrieval followed by learned cross-encoder scoring. It is a comparison for the stage boundary; the baseline scorer is the explicit nonlearned coverage function shown above. The Gemini addition is a pretrained generative relevance scorer, rather than a dedicated cross-encoder. Their behavior and limits come from their separate source and execution records.

The Gemini additions use the official model documentation, generation API and pricing, checked on 24 October 2026.
