What Is a Reranker and Why You Might Need One?
A reranker is a cross-encoder neural network that rescores and reorders an initial set of candidate documents based on query–document relevance. By processing each query–document pair together, it picks up subtle semantic signals that keyword or bi-encoder methods miss. Rerankers slot in after your first-stage search, whether BM25, vector search, or hybrid, to maximize precision in your top k results.
