Definition

The re-ranking cookbook builds 30-passage BM25 shortlists for 40 CLERC legal queries, then asks one question per query-candidate pair. Top-1 accuracy rises from 5% to 18% and top-10 from 38% to 62%.

Pairwise questions give the model a narrow comparison instead of a whole-document judgment, and the resulting probabilities can be sorted directly: a natural fit for search and retrieval pipelines.
