Brendan Clement 198812fd53 docs: clean up prose flagged by the shared Vale rules (#4596)
The existing docs have 254 findings from our shared Vale rules.
Contributors would otherwise inherit these when editing the same lines.

Clean up the prose across 80 pages: correct product names and a repeated
word, simplify a few phrases, and replace dashes with punctuation that
fits each sentence. The pinned Vale scan now reports zero findings, with
no suppressions.

title: "HyDE: hypothetical document embeddings"
sidebarTitle: "HyDE"
description: "Generate a hypothetical answer, then retrieve documents similar to it."
---
An LLM writes a hypothetical document answering the query, and that document,
not the query, is embedded and used for retrieval. It works because a
plausible answer sits nearer the real answers in embedding space than a question
does.
<Note>
This example is a runnable notebook in the
