HyDE (Hypothetical Document Embeddings)

HyDE (Hypothetical Document Embeddings): A technique that generates a hypothetical answer and uses its embedding to retrieve real documents. The hypothetical text moves the query toward document style without serving as factual evidence. Plausible errors can nevertheless steer retrieval in the wrong direction.
