Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface castorini/rank_llm, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
2 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Strengthen the README's H1 to emphasize LLM-based listwise reranking
Why:
CURRENT# RankLLM
COPY-PASTE FIXChange the H1 to: `# RankLLM: A Python Toolkit for Listwise Reranking with Large Language Models`
- mediumreadme#2Explicitly list key features and differentiators in the README's 'Overview'
Why:
CURRENTSome of the code in this repository is borrowed from RankGPT, PyGaggle, and LiT5!
COPY-PASTE FIXExpand the 'Overview' section to include a bulleted list of key features, such as: * Comprehensive suite of rerankers: pointwise (MonoT5), pairwise (DuoT5), and listwise models. * Strong focus on open-source LLMs compatible with vLLM, SGLang. * Support for proprietary listwise rerankers like RankGPT and RankGemini. * Efficiency improvements: reranking with first-token logits only. * Custom prompt template integration via YAML files. * New command-line interface (CLI) for ease of use.
