Adapting Definition Modeling for New Languages: A Case Study on Belarusian
Definition modeling, the task of generating new definitions for words in context, holds great prospect as a means to assist the work of lexicographers in documenting a broader variety of lects and languages, yet much remains to be done in order to assess how we can leverage pre-existing models for as-of-yet unsupported languages. In this work, we focus on adapting existing models to Belarusian, for which we propose a novel dataset of 43,150 definitions. Our experiments demonstrate that adapting a definition modeling systems requires minimal amounts of data, but that there currently are gaps in what automatic metrics do capture.

Evaluating a Multi-sense Definition Generation Model for Multiple Languages
Most prior work on definition modeling has not accounted for polysemy, or has done so by considering definition modeling for a target word in a given context. In contrast, in this study, we propose a context-agnostic app…
