WordNet has no entry for nuanced. That is exactly the gap the model
side fills: curated dictionaries lag behind how language is actually used,
while a model learns whatever its training data contained.
Definitions come from WordNet, a hand-curated dictionary.

Dictionary synonyms measured
WordNet lists none for this word.
Shade shows how close the model puts each word to nuanced.

This model splits nuanced into 2 pieces, so it has
no vector of its own here: this is the average of its fragments, and
the results below are correspondingly rough.

Shade shows how close the model puts each word to nuanced.
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.

These sit just outside the closest neighbours in panel 3, and no dictionary
lists any of them as related to nuanced. That gap is the
model’s own learned association.
