This model splits multivalent 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.

Dictionary antonyms measured

univalent is the dictionary opposite of multivalent, yet this model puts it closer than every one of the 1 synonym 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 multivalent. 1 of 2 dictionary synonyms are in this build; the rest have no vector to compare yet.

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.

Scores are projections onto axes we defined from anchor words, not labels the model assigns.

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