一站式检索与重排序工具,统一RAG全流程
Rankify: A Comprehensive Python Toolkit for Retrieval, Re-Ranking, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation
- 模块化框架整合检索、重排序与RAG流程
- 支持稠密/稀疏检索器及主流重排序模型
- 提供预处理数据集与开箱即用的安装包
检索、重排序和检索增强生成(RAG)是现代信息检索、问答及基于知识的文本生成应用的核心组件。然而,现有方案通常分散零散,缺乏统一框架来集成这些关键流程。标准化实现的缺失与检索重排序工作流的复杂性,使研究者难以在一致环境中比较和评估不同方法。尽管已有工具如Rerankers和RankLLM提供通用重排序管道,但常缺乏细粒度实验与基准测试所需的灵活性。为此,我们推出Rankify——一个强大且模块化的开源工具包,旨在统一检索、重排序与RAG流程。Rankify支持多种检索技术,包括稠密与稀疏检索器,并集成先进重排序模型以提升检索质量。此外,还提供一组预处理数据集用于基准测试,可在Huggingface上获取(https://huggingface.co/datasets/abdoelsayed/reranking-datasets-light)。为促进采用与集成,我们提供了完整文档(http://rankify.readthedocs.io/)、GitHub开源实现(https://github.com/DataScienceUIBK/rankify)以及PyPI安装包(https://pypi.org/project/rankify/)。作为轻量级统一框架,Rankify助力研究者与从业者推进检索与重排序方法,同时确保一致性、可扩展性与易用性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Retrieval, re-ranking, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) are critical components of modern applications in information retrieval, question answering, or knowledge-based text generation. However, existing solutions are often fragmented, lacking a unified framework that easily integrates these essential processes. The absence of a standardized implementation, coupled with the complexity of retrieval and re-ranking workflows, makes it challenging for researchers to compare and evaluate different approaches in a consistent environment. While existing toolkits such as Rerankers and RankLLM provide general-purpose reranking pipelines, they often lack the flexibility required for fine-grained experimentation and benchmarking. In response to these challenges, we introduce Rankify, a powerful and modular open-source toolkit designed to unify retrieval, re-ranking, and RAG within a cohesive framework. Rankify supports a wide range of retrieval techniques, including dense and sparse retrievers, while incorporating state-of-the-art re-ranking models to enhance retrieval quality. Additionally, Rankify includes a collection of pre-retrieved datasets to facilitate benchmarking, available at Huggingface (https://huggingface.co/datasets/abdoelsayed/reranking-datasets-light). To encourage adoption and ease of integration, we provide comprehensive documentation (http://rankify.readthedocs.io/), an open-source implementation on GitHub (https://github.com/DataScienceUIBK/rankify), and a PyPI package for easy installation (https://pypi.org/project/rankify/). As a unified and lightweight framework, Rankify allows researchers and practitioners to advance retrieval and re-ranking methodologies while ensuring consistency, scalability, and ease of use.
