Dictionary antonyms measured

clean is the dictionary opposite of dirty, yet this model puts it closer than 4 of the 5 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 dirty, 1 of 8 also appear in the dictionary. 5 of 21 dictionary synonyms are in this build; the rest have no vector to compare yet.
