Lesson 3.25mAdvanced5.8k students
Reranking retrieved candidates
Retrieve broadly, then rerank precisely. A reranker reads query and passage together, which is why it beats vector distance on ordering.
This lesson sits in Retrieval Quality, part of Retrieval-Augmented Generation from Scratch. It assumes what came before it and leads directly into the next lesson in the module.
In this lesson you will
- Retrieve a wide candidate set, then narrow it
- Score query and passage jointly with a reranker
- Balance the latency cost against the accuracy gain
