Similarity or Difference of Meaning Between Words
3 points by bluesquare9 1597 days ago
Say you have two random words ('yellow' and 'ambient' or 'goose' and 'kettle'). What tech could be used to rate how similar or different they are in meaning as informed by popular usage? For example, from 0 to 1 where antonyms are 0 and synonyms are 1, 'yellow' and 'ambient' might be 0.65 similar.
