Dictionary antonyms measured

ignore is the dictionary opposite of notice, yet this model puts it closer than 5 of the 15 synonyms it can score. Opposites share the sentences a word lives in, so cosine alone cannot tell them apart - which is why the dictionary seeds this list rather than the geometry.

Shade shows how close the model puts each word to notice, 2 of 8 also appear in the dictionary. 15 of 18 dictionary synonyms are in this build; the rest have no vector to compare yet.

Model neighbours are distributional, not dictionary synonyms. Two words can be close because they appear in similar sentences, which is why an antonym can outscore a synonym here.
