检索先取回候选,重排再调整顺序。它能否改善最终结果,要看候选是否包含答案、排序质量和延迟预算。Retrieval returns candidates; reranking changes their order. Benefits depend on answer coverage, ranking quality and latency budget.

怎么做How to

粗筛多取:向量检索先取回几十条候选,别只取前三。

精筛换模型:重排模型逐条比对查询与候选,比向量距离更细。

重排有成本:候选越多越慢越贵,按延迟预算定候选数。

看重排模型的语种支持:不是所有重排模型都支持中文。

调 top-k:最终喂给模型的条数宁少勿滥,无关块会带偏回答。

评测两阶段分别量:粗筛召回率和精筛排序分开看,才知道哪阶段拖后腿。

Coarse pass retrieves wide: pull dozens of candidates, not just the top three.

Fine pass switches models: a reranker compares query and candidate item by item, finer than vector distance.

Reranking has a cost: more candidates means slower and pricier; set the candidate count by your latency budget.

Check language support of the reranker: not every reranking model handles Chinese.

Tune top-k: fewer final items beats more — irrelevant chunks drag the answer off course.

Measure the two stages separately: coarse recall and fine ranking are scored apart, so you know which stage drags.

问题是“2025 版报销上限”。候选里同时有 2023、2025 版和讨论帖。先确认正确版本已被召回,再看重排是否把它放到前面;正确文档根本没进候选时,换重排器不能补回它。For “2025 reimbursement limit,” candidates include 2023 and 2025 policies plus discussion posts. Confirm that the correct version was retrieved before assessing its rank. A reranker cannot restore an absent candidate.
