) -> list[ScoringRequestOutput]

Generate similarity scores for all pairs <text,text_pair> or <multi-modal data, multi-modal data pair>.

The inputs can be 1 -> 1, 1 -> N or N -> N. In the 1 - N case the data_1 input will be replicated N times to pair with the data_2 inputs. The input pairs are used to build a list of prompts for the cross encoder model. This class automatically batches the prompts, considering the memory constraint. For the best performance, put all of your inputs into a single list and pass it to this method.

Supports both text and multi-modal data (images, etc.) when used with appropriate multi-modal models. For multi-modal inputs, ensure the prompt structure matches the model's expected input format.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
data_1 ScoreInput | list[ScoreInput]

Can be a single prompt, a list of prompts or ScoreMultiModalParam, which can contain either text or multi-modal data. When a list, it must have the same length as the data_2 list.

required
data_2 ScoreInput | list[ScoreInput]

The data to pair with the query to form the input to the LLM. Can be text or multi-modal data. See PromptType for more details about the format of each prompt.

required
pooling_params PoolingParams | None

The pooling parameters for pooling. If None, we use the default pooling parameters.

None
use_tqdm bool | Callable[..., tqdm]

If True, shows a tqdm progress bar. If a callable (e.g., functools.partial(tqdm, leave=False)), it is used to create the progress bar. If False, no progress bar is created.

True
lora_request list[LoRARequest] | LoRARequest | None

LoRA request to use for generation, if any.

None
chat_template str | None

The chat template to use for the scoring. If None, we use the model's default chat template.

None
tokenization_kwargs dict[str, Any] | None

Overrides for tokenizer.encode.

None

Returns: A list of ScoringRequestOutput objects containing the generated scores in the same order as the input prompts.
