Semedori is an advanced endgame technique. Invasion stones are played in the opponent's territory, causing a capturing race which is lost. In the course of winning it, though, the opponent must play more stones inside her territory than made up the invasion force. Therefore in net terms the invasion gains points, through apparent failure.

The Dochi yose tesuji is a high-level example, not exactly fitting that pattern.

Semedori example.
