cohere-embed-english-v3.0 as reranker

Hi, I noticed that this model is listed on the MTEB Reranker leaderboard. Does this mean that this embedding model can also be repurposed as a reranking model? And if so, are there any examples of how to do this?

My assumption is that you would:

  1. embed the query
  2. embed each retrieved document
  3. calculate the cosine similarity between the embedded query and each embedded document
  4. sort the retrieved documents according to these similarity scores

Or am I misunderstanding something? Thanks!

Your understanding is correct, this is how MTEB measures the reranking task
