Creating a Reverse Dictionary - DZone AI

In this article, we are going to see how to use Word2Vec to create a reverse dictionary. We are going to use Word2Vec, but the same results can be achieved using any word embeddings model. Don't worry if you do not know what any of this means, we are going to explain it. A reverse dictionary is simply a dictionary in which you input a definition and get back the word that matches that definition. You can find the code in the companion repository. Natural Language Processing is a great field: We found it very interesting and our clients need to use it in their applications. We wrote a great explanatory article about it: Analyze and Understand Text: Guide to Natural Language Processing. Now we want to write more practical ones to help you use it in your project.
