mT0-Definition-No XL

This model is a version of mT0 XL finetuned on Bokmålsordboka, a dataset of Norwegian definitions and usage examples.

It generates definitions of Norwegian words in context. Its input is the usage example and the instruction question "Hva betyr TARGET_WORD?"

Models for other languages:

• English: mT0-Definition-En XL
• Norwegian: mT0-Definition-No XL
• Russian: mT0-Definition-Ru XL

Model description

See details in the paper Enriching Word Usage Graphs with Cluster Definitions (LREC-COLING'2024) by Mariia Fedorova, Andrey Kutuzov, Nikolay Arefyev and Dominik Schlechtweg.

Intended uses & limitations

The model is intended for research purposes, as a source of contextualized dictionary-like lexical definitions. Generated definitions can contain all sorts of biases and stereotypes, stemming from the underlying language model.

Training and evaluation data

Bokmålsordboka by The Norwegian Language Council and the University of Bergen.

Training results

mT0-Definition-No XL achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

    abstract = "We present a dataset of word usage graphs (WUGs), where the existing WUGs for multiple languages are enriched with cluster labels functioning as sense definitions. They are generated from scratch by fine-tuned encoder-decoder language models. The conducted human evaluation has shown that these definitions match the existing clusters in WUGs better than the definitions chosen from WordNet by two baseline systems. At the same time, the method is straightforward to use and easy to extend to new languages. The resulting enriched datasets can be extremely helpful for moving on to explainable semantic change modeling.",
