# coderankembed-apps-ft

`nomic-ai/CodeRankEmbed` fine-tuned on the **train** split of CoIR-Retrieval/apps (natural-language
problem statement → Python solution) for the MTEB `AppsRetrieval` task. No test
queries or qrels were used.

**AppsRetrieval test (MTEB, CPU):** NDCG@10 0.4709, MRR@10 0.4303 (queries cleaned with `desc-io`).

## Usage

Queries need the base model's prefix; documents (code) have none. Load with
`trust_remote_code=True` (NomicBert).

```python
from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer
m = SentenceTransformer("madhurr382/coderankembed-apps-ft", trust_remote_code=True)
q = m.encode(["Represent this query for searching relevant code: " + "Given an array, return the length of its longest increasing subsequence."],
             normalize_embeddings=True)
d = m.encode(["def lis(a): ..."], normalize_embeddings=True)
print(q @ d.T)
```

For the best scores, clean APPS-style statements first: keep the description and the
Input/Output sections, drop samples, notes and constraints (`retrieval/query_clean.py`,
mode `desc-io`).

**transformers v5:** its loader leaves NomicBert's non-persistent buffers (rotary
`inv_freq`, attention `norm_factor`) uninitialised. The repo's
`retrieval/eval_baseline.py::load_st_model` rebuilds them after loading.
