The Similarity Method

Let's see how we can use spaCy to calculate the semantic similairty.

In spaCy, every container type object has a similarity method that allows us to calculate the semantic similarity of other container objects by comparing their word vectors.

We can calculate the semantic similarity between two container objects, even though they are different types of containers. For instance, we can compare a Token object to a Doc object and a Doc object to a Span object. The following example computes how similar two Span objects are:
