Reranking is a common stage in the RAG retrieval pipeline: first use lightweight, high-speed ANN retrieval to recall a larger candidate set (e.g., top-100), then use a more precise but more expensive cross-encoder to score and rerank the candidates pairwise.

VerifiedReranking models such as Cohere Rerank and BGE-Reranker use a Cross-Encoder architecture to perform fine-grained relevance scoring between queries and documents, and are a key component in optimizing RAG precision.77% similarUnverifiedReranking typically uses a CrossEncoder architecture that concatenates the query with candidate chunks for relevance scoring, and has become a standard coarse-ranking + fine-ranking two-stage architecture in industrial-grade RAG systems.76% similarUnverifiedSemantic retrieval and keyword retrieval are often used together in mature RAG systems (hybrid retrieval), then results are optimized through a reranking model, to balance recall and precision.74% similarUnverifiedThe standard approach is to use the cross-encoder only to rerank the dozens of candidates returned by retrieval, forming a two-stage pipeline of "coarse recall + fine ranking".72% similar
