setfit for ranking problems?

[turian]

I'd like to finetune setfit for ranking. Where, for each instance, there are possible text anwers in a ranked order.

I'd then like to finetune to maintain the ranking. Would this be possible?

fast-soft-sort can be used for differentiable ranking.

The idea might be that I am not fine-tuning the sentence-transformer of the input (or I can, optionally), but the output similarity transformer would be fine-tuned to optimize the rank score.
