Distributional semantics

How words are related in a given language is demonstrated in the "semantic space", which mathematically corresponds to the vector space.

Distributional semantics is a research area that develops and studies theories and methods for quantifying and categorizing semantic similarities between linguistic items based on their distributional properties in large samples of language data. The basic idea of distributional semantics can be summed up in the distributional hypothesis: linguistic items with similar distributions have similar meanings.
