Hi @tomaarsen, I've added RankNetLoss. |

It's a bit confusing to include the weighting scheme in the config if the RankNet loss doesn't have a notion of that

RankNetLoss Implementation for Cross Encoder Trainer
This PR adds RankNetLoss functionality to the Cross Encoder Trainer feature.
Changes
Implementation Details
RankNetLoss is a pairwise loss function which learns a ranking function by optimizing pairwise document comparisons using a neural network.
The implementation inherits from the LambdaLoss base class and uses a NoWeightingScheme, focusing solely on the pairwise comparison of documents.
The loss function implements the core RankNet algorithm from the Burges et al. paper (2005), which uses gradient descent to learn a ranking function by optimizing a probabilistic cost function based on pairwise document comparisons.
