RGCL at SemEval-2020 Task 6: Neural Approaches to DefinitionExtraction

Tharindu Ranasinghe, Alistair Plum, Constantin Orasan, Ruslan Mitkov


Abstract
This paper presents the RGCL team submission to SemEval 2020 Task 6: DeftEval, subtasks 1 and 2. The system classifies definitions at the sentence and token levels. It utilises state-of-the-art neural network architectures, which have some task-specific adaptations, including an automatically extended training set. Overall, the approach achieves acceptable evaluation scores, while maintaining flexibility in architecture selection.
