How HyDE Transforms RAG Retrieval from Keyword Matching to Intent Understanding

The article explains how Hypothetical Document Embeddings (HyDE) improve Retrieval‑Augmented Generation by generating a synthetic answer before vector search, allowing the system to embed richer semantic intent rather than relying on shallow keyword similarity, and provides a step‑by‑step implementation using LangChain.
