# 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/huggingface/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("chingackgook/reranker-ModernBERT-base-gooaq-bce")
# Get scores for pairs of texts
pairs = [
['how many days can i drive my car without mot?', "If your car fails its MOT you can only continue to drive it if the previous year's MOT is still valid - which might occur if you submitted the car for its test two weeks early. You can still drive it away from the testing centre or garage if no 'dangerous' problems were identified during the MOT."],
['how many days can i drive my car without mot?', '["Open File Explorer\', go to \'This PC\'. Check the status of the network drive. [00:11]", \'An error occurred while reconnecting or mapping Drive letter Z: to Network folder. [00:36]\', \'You can do either connect the drive (Map network drive) or Disconnect Network drive. [01:01]\', \'Disconnect Network Drive by this way. [01:28]\']'],
['what xbox 360 games are compatible with xbox 1?', "['0 day Attack on Earth.', '3D Ultra Minigolf.', 'A Kingdom for Keflings.', 'A World of Keflings.', 'Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation.', 'Aegis Wing.', 'Age of Booty.', 'Alan Wake (Tested by Digital Foundry)']"],

['what does it mean when a guy asks for a picture of you?', 'He wants to confirm if he is talking to Priya or Angel Priya (I.e., if he is really talking to a girl or just a guy with fake profile) They are talking to you and want to see how you look. I found it normal but would say, be careful about whom do you share your picture with as they might misuse it. I hate this one.'],
]
scores = model.predict(pairs)
print(scores.shape)
# (5,)
# Or rank different texts based on similarity to a single text
ranks = model.rank(
