![]() ![]() This is why "leather" is far from "patent." Sometimes one usage is simply more popular (among newspaper reporters, which is the corpus): "display" is more often a verb than a noun, and its vector reflects this. Your guess, or the target word, is polysemous, and the meaning that is similar is rarely used.I can think of at least four reasons for this. There's a new word every day, where a day starts at midnight UTC. You will probably need dozens of guesses. (By "normal" words", I mean non-capitalized words that appears in a very large English word list there are lots of capitalized, misspelled, or obscure words that might be close but that won't get a ranking. If your word is not one of the nearest 1000, you're "cold". The "Getting close" indicator tells you how close you are -if your word is one of the 1,000 nearest normal words to the target word, the rank will be given (1000 is the target word itself). So if you want to know if the word is more like nice or Nice, you can ask about both. But I removed all but lower-case words from the secret word set, and if your word matches the secret word but for case, you win anyway. ![]() Don't get caught in the trap! Since our Word2vec data set contains some proper nouns, guesses are case-sensitive. It's tempting to think only of nouns, since that is how normal semantic word-guessing games work. Secret words may be any part of speech, but will always be single words. By "semantically similar", I mean, roughly "used in the context of similar words, in a database of news articles." The lowest in theory is -100, but in practice it's around -34. The highest possible similarity is 100 (indicating that the words are identical and you have won). The similarity value comes from Word2vec. Unlike that other word game, it's not about the spelling it's about the meaning. ![]() Semantle will tell you how semantically similar it thinks your word is to the secret word. ![]()
