Abstract

We describe a visualization tool that can be used to view the change in meaning of words over time. The tool makes use of existing (static) word embedding datasets together with a timestamped nn-gram corpus to create {\em temporal} word embeddings.

Keywords

word meaning change temporal word embeddings visualization tool n-gram corpus static word embeddings semantic change
