MonoPTT5 models are T5 rerankers for the Portuguese language. Starting from ptt5-v2 checkpoints, they were trained for 100k steps on a mixture of Portuguese and English data from the mMARCO dataset. For further information on the training and evaluation of these models, please refer to our paper, ptt5-v2: A Closer Look at Continued Pretraining of T5 Models for the Portuguese Language.

Usage

The easiest way to use our models is through the rerankers package. After installing the package using pip install rerankers[transformers], the following code can be used as a minimal working example:

python

from rerankers import Reranker
import torch

query = "O futebol é uma paixão nacional"
docs = [
    "O futebol é superestimado e não deveria receber tanta atenção.",
    "O futebol é uma parte essencial da cultura brasileira e une as pessoas.",
]

ranker = Reranker(
    "unicamp-dl/monoptt5-base",
    inputs_template="Pergunta: {query} Documento: {text} Relevante:",
    dtype=torch.float32  # or bfloat16 if supported by your GPU
)

results = ranker.rank(query, docs)

print("Classification results:")
for result in results:
    print(result)
