Discover 4 games based on word proximity.

Classic Mode:

You are given the 1000th closest word and work your way to the hidden word.

Clap mode:

You are given the summary of a film with the important words hidden. Suggest words, nearby words in the summary are displayed. The goal is to find the exact French title of the film.

Flash Mode:

This time you are given the word, you have to find words in the top 1000 of the closest words and total the most points in 2 minutes.

Link mode:

You are given the first and last word of a sequence of 4 words. Find the two missing words so that there is a strong connection between each pair of neighboring words. There are several solutions ! Find the strongest link.

Explanations:

In the discipline of NLP (natural language programming in English, or natural language processing), a sub-discipline of machine learning that deals with language, it is practical to represent words by high-dimensional vectors. These vectors do not represent much, but the distance between these vectors provides information on the proximity between the words. We then train a deep learning algorithm on a very large database, made up of a collection of texts in the same language (thanks to the internet). The model thus trained makes it possible to associate a vector with a word. Words that often appear close to each other in a text will be represented by vectors having a close distance. This does not mean that the words have a similar meaning or even that they are part of the same lexical field!
