"This notebook shows how to use [Cohere's rerank endpoint](https://docs.cohere.com/docs/reranking) in a retriever. This builds on top of ideas in the [ContextualCompressionRetriever](/docs/modules/data_connection/retrievers/contextual_compression/)."
"Let's start by initializing a simple vector store retriever and storing the 2023 State of the Union speech (in chunks). We can set up the retriever to retrieve a high number (20) of docs."

"One of the most serious constitutional responsibilities a President has is nominating someone to serve on the United States Supreme Court. \n",
"\n",
"And I did that 4 days ago, when I nominated Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. One of our nation’s top legal minds, who will continue Justice Breyer’s legacy of excellence.\n",
"As I said last year, especially to our younger transgender Americans, I will always have your back as your President, so you can be yourself and reach your God-given potential. \n",
"\n",
"While it often appears that we never agree, that isn’t true. I signed 80 bipartisan bills into law last year. From preventing government shutdowns to protecting Asian-Americans from still-too-common hate crimes to reforming military justice.\n",
"A former top litigator in private practice. A former federal public defender. And from a family of public school educators and police officers. A consensus builder. Since she’s been nominated, she’s received a broad range of support—from the Fraternal Order of Police to former judges appointed by Democrats and Republicans. \n",
"\n",
"And if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the Border and fix the immigration system.\n",
"From President Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination, inspires the world. \n",
"\n",
"Groups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. Everyone from students to retirees teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland. \n",
"\n",
"In this struggle as President Zelenskyy said in his speech to the European Parliament “Light will win over darkness.” The Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States is here tonight.\n",
"I spoke with their families and told them that we are forever in debt for their sacrifice, and we will carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety every community deserves. \n",
"\n",
"I’ve worked on these issues a long time. \n",
"\n",
"I know what works: Investing in crime preventionand community police officers who’ll walk the beat, who’ll know the neighborhood, and who can restore trust and safety. \n",
"\n",
"So let’s not abandon our streets. Or choose between safety and equal justice.\n",
"For the past 40 years we were told that if we gave tax breaks to those at the very top, the benefits would trickle down to everyone else. \n",
"\n",
"But that trickle-down theory led to weaker economic growth, lower wages, bigger deficits, and the widest gap between those at the top and everyone else in nearly a century. \n",
"\n",
"Vice President Harris and I ran for office with a new economic vision for America.\n",
"I’m also calling on Congress: pass a law to make sure veterans devastated by toxic exposures in Iraq and Afghanistan finally get the benefits and comprehensive health care they deserve. \n",
"\n",
"And fourth, let’s end cancer as we know it. \n",
"\n",
"This is personal to me and Jill, to Kamala, and to so many of you. \n",
"\n",
"Cancer is the #2 cause of death in America–second only to heart disease.\n",
"Madam Speaker, Madam Vice President, our First Lady and Second Gentleman. Members of Congress and the Cabinet. Justices of the Supreme Court. My fellow Americans. \n",
"\n",
"Last year COVID-19 kept us apart. This year we are finally together again. \n",
"\n",
"Tonight, we meet as Democrats Republicans and Independents. But most importantly as Americans. \n",
"\n",
"With a duty to one another to the American people to the Constitution. \n",
"\n",
"And with an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny.\n",
"And soon, we’ll strengthen the Violence Against Women Act that I first wrote three decades ago. It is important for us to show the nation that we can come together and do big things. \n",
"\n",
"So tonight I’m offering a Unity Agenda for the Nation. Four big things we can do together. \n",
"\n",
"First, beat the opioid epidemic. \n",
"\n",
"There is so much we can do. Increase funding for prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery.\n",
"I’ve always believed that we have a sacred obligation to equip all those we send to war and care for them and their families when they come home. \n",
"\n",
"My administration is providing assistance with job training and housing, and now helping lower-income veterans get VA care debt-free. \n",
"\n",
"Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan faced many dangers.\n",
"When we invest in our workers, when we build the economy from the bottom up and the middle out together, we can do something we haven’t done in a long time: build a better America. \n",
"\n",
"For more than two years, COVID-19 has impacted every decision in our lives and the life of the nation. \n",
"\n",
"And I know you’re tired, frustrated, and exhausted. \n",
"I remember when my Dad had to leave our home in Scranton, Pennsylvania to find work. I grew up in a family where if the price of food went up, you felt it. \n",
"\n",
"That’s why one of the first things I did as President was fight to pass the American Rescue Plan. \n",
"\n",
"Because people were hurting. We needed to act, and we did. \n",
"\n",
"Few pieces of legislation have done more in a critical moment in our history to lift us out of crisis.\n",
"Now let's wrap our base retriever with a `ContextualCompressionRetriever`. We'll add an `CohereRerank`, uses the Cohere rerank endpoint to rerank the returned results."
