    I made a 3D visual "thesaurus" for English▲19

    Just a fun toy I wanted to make. I've been studying and playing around with language models lately and have always been intrigued by how words are processed by these models. Since the vectors generated by embedding models is in very high dimensional space, I thought it would be cool to reduce them to 3D vectors and visualise them myself. This is what I have so far!
