The Meaning Explorer applies a new distributional semantic model to extract words’ significant co-occurrences from the Quran. This model is based on the Refined MI association measure applied to all words within a symmetric sliding window of five words surrounding the node word. The Refined MI association measure is chosen because of its remarkable ability ability to extract syntagmatic relations between the words of the Quran.
