My interpretation of negative numbers is that no "synonym" was found (no vector pointing in the same direction), and that the closest expression on record is something with an opposite meaning (pointing in reverse direction), so I'd say that's an antonym.

Yes, that's pretty much what it is. Watch out for homographs.

This might be helpful: I haven't implemented it in the UI, but from the API response you can see what the word definitions are, both for the input and the output. If the output has homographs, likeliness is split per definition, but the UI only shows the best one.

Also, if it gets buried in comments, proper nouns need to be capitalized (Paris-France+Germany).

I am planning on patching up the UI based on your feedback.

Thank you! I actually had a hard time finding prior work on this, so I appreciate the references.

The dictionary is based on https://wordnet.princeton.edu/, no word2vec. It's just a plain lookup among precomputed embeddings (with mxbai-embed-large). And yes, I'm excluding words that are present in the query because.

It would be interesting to see how other models perform. I tried one (forgot the name) that was focused on coding, and it didn't perform nearly as well (in terms of human joy from the results).

I probably should have prefaced this with "try at your own risk, results don't reflect the author's opinions"

when I first tried it, king was referring to the instrument and I was getting a result king-man+woman=flute ... :-D

Yes, word in red = word not found mostly the case when you try plurals or non-nouns (for now)

> FFT of a full 2GHz bandwidth RF signal at 60 frames per second

Is this useful for anything else than visualization of the spectrum in a waterfall diagram?
