Very exciting stuff. I love how you can take simple building blocks and create something elegant and fun with them.
However, why are there words more similar to "vacation" than "vacation"?
Thanks! The word 'vacation' is just removed from the list since it's exactly what we're looking for.
It's not removed from the list -- it is second from the bottom. madsravn's question is a good one.
The one in the list includes a period after it, so I believe it is just a case of slightly dirty data.
Good observation -- I missed that (obviously). They seem to be using data from the word2vec project, so I would guess that it is intentional rather than a lack of cleaning.
But how come it is less similar to itself than other words?
