Figure 1

Representation of the USM of the two stanzas, respectively dark and light spheres connected by dashed lines, in a reduced 3-dimension space obtained using the first three principal components, PC1,2,3. In a) the units corresponding to the segment "very fond of" both stanzas are connected by solid lines. The procedure is repeated in b) for the segment "bananas". These figures illustrate the property that similar segments converge in the USM representation, which is reflected by the docking of homologous units. The factorization for dimensionality reduction serves visualization purposes only. The variance represented by each of the three principal components is 40%, 13% and 11%, respectively.
