Show HN: Semantic Calculator (king-man+woman=?)

(calc.datova.ai)

I've been playing with embeddings and wanted to try out what results the embedding layer will produce based on just word-by-word input and addition / subtraction, beyond what many videos / papers mention (like the obvious king-man+woman=queen). So I built something that doesn't just give the first answer, but ranks the matches based on distance / cosine symmetry. I polished it a bit so that others can try it out, too.

For now, I only have nouns (and some proper nouns) in the dataset, and pick the most common interpretation among the homographs. Also, it's case sensitive.

Here's a challenge: find something to subtract from "hammer" which does not result in a word that has "gun" as a substring. I've been unsuccessful so far.

if I'm allowed only 1 something, I can't find anything either, if I'm allowed a few somethings, "hammer - wine - beer - red - child" will get you there. Guessing given that a gun has a hammer and is also a tool, it's too heavily linked in the small dataset.

hammer + man = adult male body (75%)

Well that's easy, subtract "gun" :P

The word "gun" itself seems to work. Package this as a game and you've got a pretty fun game on your hands :)
