The main intuition is that when w 1 and w 2 are similar, they should also be related to similar words.
we first determine the closest match between the neighbors of w 1 and the neighbors of w 2 , as follows: Note that to identify these neighbors, we compare both their word vectors v n 1 and v n 2 , and their relationships to the target words, r w 1 n 1 and r w 2 n 2 .
