PIXIE-Spell-Reranker-Preview-0.6B

PIXIE-Spell-Reranker-Preview-0.6B is a decoder-based reranker trained on Korean and English information retrieval dataset, developed by TelePIX Co., Ltd. PIXIE stands for TelePIX Intelligent Embedding, representing TelePIX’s high-performance embedding technology. This model is specifically optimized for semantic reranking tasks in Korean and English, and demonstrates strong performance in aerospace domain applications. Through extensive fine-tuning and domain-specific evaluation, PIXIE shows robust reranking quality for real-world use cases such as document understanding, technical QA, and semantic search in aerospace and related high-precision fields. It also performs competitively across a wide range of open-domain Korean and English retrieval benchmarks, making it a versatile foundation for multilingual reranking systems.

Quality Benchmarks

PIXIE-Spell-Reranker-Preview-0.6B is a multilingual reranker specialized for Korean and English reranking tasks. It delivers consistently strong performance across a diverse set of domain-specific and open-domain benchmarks in both languages, demonstrating its effectiveness in real-world reranking applications. The table below presents the reranking performance of several rerankers evaluated on a variety of Korean and English benchmarks. We report Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain (NDCG) scores, which measure how well a ranked list of documents aligns with ground truth relevance. Higher values indicate better reranking quality.

Avg. NDCG: Average of NDCG@1, @3, @5, and @10 across all benchmark datasets.
NDCG@k: Relevance quality of the top-k retrieved results.

All evaluations were conducted using the open-source Korean-MTEB-Retrieval-Evaluators codebase to ensure consistent dataset handling, indexing, retrieval, and NDCG@k computation across models.

6 Datasets of MTEB (Korean)

Our model, telepix/PIXIE-Spell-Reranker-Preview-0.6B, achieves strong performance across most metrics and benchmarks, demonstrating strong generalization across domains such as multi-hop QA, long-document retrieval, public health, and e-commerce.

Note: SPLADE shortlist size fixed at candidate_k = 100 for all experiments.

Descriptions of the benchmark datasets used for evaluation are as follows:

Ko-StrategyQA
A Korean multi-hop open-domain question answering dataset designed for complex reasoning over multiple documents.
AutoRAGRetrieval
A domain-diverse retrieval dataset covering finance, government, healthcare, legal, and e-commerce sectors.
MIRACLRetrieval
A document retrieval benchmark built on Korean Wikipedia articles.
PublicHealthQA
A retrieval dataset focused on medical and public health topics.
BelebeleRetrieval
A dataset for retrieving relevant content from web and news articles in Korean.
MultiLongDocRetrieval
A long-document retrieval benchmark based on Korean Wikipedia and mC4 corpus.

Note: While many benchmark datasets are available for evaluation, in this project we chose to use only those that contain clean positive documents for each query. Keep in mind that a benchmark dataset is just that a benchmark. For real-world applications, it is best to construct an evaluation dataset tailored to your specific domain and evaluate embedding models, such as PIXIE, in that environment to determine the most suitable one.
