The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource. In case you didn't notice, you can click on words in the search results and you'll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren't included in thesauri. The provably most robust methods to identify these conic basis columns are based on nonnegative sparse regression and self-dictionaries, and require the. where y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable. For example, a regression could take the form: y a + bx. Regression analysis often uses regression equations, which show the value of a dependent variable as a function of an independent variable. I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. In statistics, the analysis of variables that are dependent on other variables.

So in a sense, this tool is a 'search engine for words', or a sentence to word converter. It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. regress (n.) late 14c., regresse, 'a return, passage back, act of going back,' from Latin regressus 'a return, retreat, a going back,' noun use of past participle of regredi 'to go back,' from re- 'back' (see re-) + gradi 'to step, walk' (from PIE root ghredh- 'to walk, go'). The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it's starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). For example, if you type something like 'longing for a time in the past', then the engine will return 'nostalgia'. It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. The old man suffered brain damage and regressed to the mental age of a five-year-old.
