RankLLM
RankLLM is a Python toolkit for reproducible information retrieval research using rerankers, with a focus on listwise reranking. It offers a suite of rerankers, pointwise models like MonoT5, pairwise models like DuoT5, and listwise models compatible with vLLM, SGLang, or TensorRT-LLM. Additionally, it supports RankGPT and RankGemini variants, which are proprietary listwise rerankers. It includes modules for retrieval, reranking, evaluation, and response analysis, facilitating end-to-end workflows. RankLLM integrates with Pyserini for retrieval and provides integrated evaluation for multi-stage pipelines. It also includes a module for detailed analysis of input prompts and LLM responses, addressing reliability concerns with LLM APIs and non-deterministic behavior in Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models. The toolkit supports various backends, including SGLang and TensorRT-LLM, and is compatible with a wide range of LLMs.

TILDE
TILDE (Term Independent Likelihood moDEl) is a passage re-ranking and expansion framework built on BERT, designed to enhance retrieval performance by combining sparse term matching with deep contextual representations. The original TILDE model pre-computes term weights across the entire BERT vocabulary, which can lead to large index sizes. To address this, TILDEv2 introduces a more efficient approach by computing term weights only for terms present in expanded passages, resulting in indexes that are 99% smaller than those of the original TILDE. This efficiency is achieved by leveraging TILDE as a passage expansion model, where passages are expanded using top-k terms (e.g., top 200) to enrich their content. It provides scripts for indexing collections, re-ranking BM25 results, and training models using datasets like MS MARCO.
