Conjuring Semantic Similarity

arXiv:2410.16431v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The semantic similarity between sample expressions measures the distance between their latent 'meaning'. These meanings are themselves typically represented by textual expressions. We propose a novel approach whereby the semantic similarity among textual expressions is based not on other expressions they can be rephrased as, but rather based on the imagery they evoke. While this is not possible with humans, generative models allow us to easily
