# Set-Encoder: Permutation-Invariant Inter-Passage Attention for Listwise Passage Re-Ranking with Cross-Encoders
This model is presented in the paper [Set-Encoder: Permutation-Invariant Inter-Passage Attention for Listwise Passage Re-Ranking with Cross-Encoders](https://huggingface.co/papers/2404.06912). It's a cross-encoder architecture designed for efficient and permutation-invariant passage re-ranking.
Code: https://github.com/webis-de/set-encoder
We provide the following pre-trained models for general-purpose re-ranking.
To reproduce the results, run the following command using the [Lightning IR](https://github.com/webis-de/lightning-ir) library and the configuration files from the repository repository linked above:
```bash
lightning-ir re_rank --config ./configs/re-rank.yaml --model.model_name_or_path <MODEL_NAME>
```
