Hello! Can I extract a similar word from the model? Also, is it possible to assess the similarity between two words, not sentences, but only words? I’ll hope you help.

Unless you want to compare words in a specific context, context-sensitive models are not the best way to do what you want. Better to look for [word2vec](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21979970/how-to-use-word2vec-to-calculate-the-similarity-distance-by-giving-2-words) or similar then.
