This is an incremental tool for linguists and researchers interested in semantic shifts.
The authors tackled the problem of visualizing how word meanings change over time by developing a tool that creates temporal word embeddings from static embeddings and timestamped n-gram data.
We describe a visualization tool that can be used to view the change in meaning of words over time. The tool makes use of existing (static) word embedding datasets together with a timestamped $n$-gram corpus to create {\em temporal} word embeddings.
