Retrieval algorithms that provide greater precision and results

Self Query Retriever
This retriever inspects the natural language query and writes a structured query to run on the underlying VectorStore.
Contextual Compression
Compress the retrieved document using the context of the query, so that only the relevant information 
in the source is returned.
Multi Vector Retriever
This retriever lets you query across multiple stored vectors per document, including ones on smaller chunks, summaries, and hypothetical questions.

Time-Weighted Vector Store
Combine semantic similarity with 
a time decay to factor in recency 
in your retrieval.

Parent Document Retriever
Embed small chunks, which are better for similarity search, but retrieve larger chunks, which help with generation.

Minimize writing duplicated content
Avoid re-writing unchanged content
Never recompute embeddings over unchanged content

Ingestion done right

The LangChain Indexing API syncs your data from 
any source into a vector store, helping you save money and time.
