We do this by making use of recent advances in statistical word similarity generation methods, in particular the word2vec embedding technology. Mikolov vector space, actualized in the word2vec technology, identifies semantic relationships between words using word vector algebra. These word vectors perform remarkably well at identifying semantic analogy relationships, e.g., capital city to country, currency to country, city to state, and man to woman (Mikolov et al., 2013a; Mikolov et al., 2013b; Mikolov et al., 2013c) .

| "text": "\"Figurative language,\" in particular metaphor, plays a crucial role in poetry. Lakoff and Turner (1989) explicate in great detail how metaphors are combined in everyday language, and how poets extend and elaborate on conventional metaphors in new ways. A metaphor can be thought of as a linguistic structure that creates a \"mapping\" of two conceptual spaces or frames (Lakoff and Turner, 1989) or the \"blending\" of two input spaces (Fauconnier and Turner, 2008) . Veale et al. (2000) point to this as an important theoretical model for computational work on metaphor, and emphasize the highly structured relationships that metaphors create between two terms. In one of their examples, to see Scientists as Priests metaphorically could mean to see their lab-benches as altars. In this case, the general terms are metaphorically connected based on some more specific attribute that is common to each. This commonality, however, is not immediately obvious, so a good metaphor reveals something surprising about a conceptual space by combining it with another conceptual space. Veale et al. (2000) offer examples of systems that create such relationships between two input terms to form metaphors. More recently, researchers have generated poetic metaphorical relationships between two terms by leveraging large corpora. Veale and Hao (2007) found metaphorical relationships between two terms by mining Google search results for adjectives used to describe both terms. Veale and Hao (2008) applied a similar approach to mine more complex metaphors from WordNet. Such techniques have been deployed in \"computer poetry\" applications that automatically generate verse (Veale, 2013; Harmon, 2015) .", |

| "text": "Literary theorist William Empson (2004) argued for the importance of reading the \"ambiguities\" present in verse. The most basic type of ambiguity occurs when a metaphor simultaneously draws on different qualities of the items brought into metaphorical relation, and so it is \"effective in several ways at once.\" For instance, eyes are like sun for multiple reasons (e.g., both are literally round, and both may be \"bright\"). More complicated ambiguities may be generated through puns, in which a word simultaneously carries two distinct and ironically opposite meanings, each relevant to the context. To use Empson's example: in Pope's Dunciad, a character sleeping \"in port\" may be both safe at harbor and drunk (on port wine). In this case, two distinct conceptual spaces are activated by one word. Furthermore, as Empson argues, poets themselves are not always fully in control of the meanings of their words and, \"discovering his idea in the act of writing\" may create \"a simile which applies to nothing exactly, but lies half-way between two things,\" a subtly mixed metaphor. He gives the example of a passage from a verse-play by John Ford in which the term \"gall\" at first seems to mean \"boldness\"-but, when the author later mentions a \"well-grown oak,\" comes to retroactively signal \"oak-galls,\" a horticultural disease. \"Figurative language\" is not merely the sort of ordered and symmetrical matching of cognitive structures evinced by clear metaphors; it is also what happens when poets get caught up in loose and chaotic association between words, the way jazz musicians zig and zag between notes.", |

| "text": "Distributional approaches to representing word meaning have a long history in computational linguistics, and are motivated by the notion that \"You shall know a word by the company it keeps!\" (Firth, 1957) and the Wittgenstein-inspired notion that a concept is not an isolated thing but really a constellation of concepts linked by family resemblances (Rosch and Mervis, 1975) . Sch\u00fctze (1993) made early attempts to represent the meaning of concepts by creating n-dimensional word spaces. More recent attempts which use larger collections and innovations in algorithms have yielded more accurate representations of semantic relatedness. These include Mikolov et al.'s work on word embeddings learned using a Continuous Skipgram Model. It extends beyond bag-of-words models by accounting for the context a word appears in. This model is implemented in Google's word2vec tool 1 which has shown significant success in finding both syntactic and semantic relationships between words (Mikolov et al., 2013b; Mikolov et al., 2013a; Mikolov et al., 2013c) .", |
