Lexiscope enables the visualization of relationships between words based on the concept of word embeddings. This allows the measurement of a semantic distance between words. We can find words that are usually associated with another word or form trails that connect one word to another with gradual transition of meaning and context. Lexiscope is built as a word-guessing mini game where you try to come as close as possible to a hidden word by discovering words that are usually associated with it. It also offers a free exploration mode where you can create diagrams of word associations and explore trails and neighborhoods of meaning. Your word diagrams can be exported and shared as PDF files.
