The game 'Semantris' reviewing Tetris like AI and erasing the block while playing words

AI who learned the words from the billions of conversations of the Internet and Tetris-like game " Semantris " which erases the block while playing words is appearing from Google. There are two kinds of Semantris, "ARCADE" and "BLOCK", so I tried playing what it feels like to communicate in different ways while using the same AI.

The state of playing the game is as follows.

I tried playing at Semantris's "Arcade" - YouTube


First, click "PLAY ARCADE".

Then you will see a screen with 10 words vertically aligned, such as "Garden", "Turtle", "Summer" and "Thunder".

The character of the top Garden is glowing blue, and the word associated with this blue-emitting word is entered in the bottom text field. If it is "Garden", is it "flower"? I thought that it is ... ...

The sequence of 10 words changed, Garden moved to the bottom. The more you judge that AI is "the degree of relevance between the typed word and the word displayed in blue" is high, the sorted words are sorted downwards.

And the 4 words from the bottom placed in the blue part disappear.

With the same feeling as Tetris, when a word disappears, the word that has been piled up falls downward accordingly.

Then it is displayed as "Plant" ... ...

Let's type "vegetable".

Because this was also highly relevant, Plant is sorted in the form that it is at the bottom ... ...

The last four words disappear.

As words gradually fall down from the top and accumulate, it is necessary to work quickly.

I missed typing "queen" (Queen) as "qween", but typing errors seem to be allowed.

I tried typing "song" as a word related to "Opera", and as a result, "Flute" had a higher degree of relevance, words were placed fourth from the bottom.

At this time, a mysterious bonus occurs ... ...

He erased the stacked words at once.

However, as typing is slow or it is too late to think, words are accumulating steadily. In the theme of "FireFighter (Firefighter)", if the related word is not understood and confused, it looks like this quickly. I tried typing "water" ....

Because the degree of relevance was not very high, I could not erase the word.

Input "fire".

... ... but at the moment you type "fire" the word "Firefighter" turns red ... ...

"Words starting from fire are not good". It was OK to enter "Pen" as a subject "Pencil".

And the word reached the top and the game over.

In addition, there is a more "Tetris-like" looking "BLOCK".

I tried playing with Tetris-like Semantris's "BLOCK" - YouTube


First, click "PLAY BLOCKS" on the top page.

BLOCKS starts from a state that has already been accumulated.

First I thought "I want to delete the word Weather", so enter "sky" in the text field at the bottom of the page.

Then, consider the word with high relevance to the word entered by AI, "Ship" and "Weather" remain ... ...

In the end only "Weather" remained.

The Weather block disappeared and the block that had been stacked on top dropped.

Every time you erase a block, another block will come down from the top.

Furthermore, thinking to erase the word "Pirate", enter "sea".

Then, not only "Pirate" but also "Ship" remain ...

Eventually "Ship" will be erased.

Blocks of the same color in contact are also erased together.

Although "house" was entered to erase "neighbor", it sometimes happens that "Hospital" is erased.

The place where the target block and another block are erased is different from Tetris. The difficulty level will be high because you can not target the block you want.

If you cross the line at the top of the screen, the game is over.
