my current guess about how to think about what word2vec similarity is measuring (it really isn't semantic distance per se)
Quote Tweet
Replying to @QiaochuYuan and @polyaletheia
so you want to think about something like, given a word, the following 2-step inference:
1) which sentences in which kinds of newspaper articles is this word likely to appear in
2) which other words are likely to appear in similar sentences in similar articles

game state at the end. "leg" on guess #7 was nice, did body parts for awhile, then bone words because of "spinal," then "marrow," then "transplant"
was thinking about sentences involving injuries, e.g. "the football player injured his ____" but had to abandon that at the end

Damn this was my first one and I got it in 13 tries. I must have been *very* lucky.

Holy shit… this one was way harder for me! Took me like 130😬 and had to take a break in between.

completely different path from me, took me about 100 guesses but I (roughly) went murder-police-policeman-detective-lawyer-investigator-every person in the legal system- oh yeah doctors exist- surgeon.

it’s cool getting to see all the different paths when there are several!
