Vector-offset analogy test

Techniqueintermediate

Mikolov-style analogy arithmetic (d̂ = b − a + c) applied to already-trained embeddings, scored by how well the predicted point's nearest neighbor recovers the true fourth term, against a random-chance baseline — a direct empirical readout of concept-crystal structure rather than a theoretical derivation of it.
