Tasks:
Task 1: Reverse Dictionary (RD)
RDs, identified by their sequence-to-vector format, characterized as sequence-to-vector, introduce a differentiated strategy in contrast to traditional dictionary lookup methods. The RD task concentrates on the conversion of human-readable glosses into word embedding vectors.
This process entails reconstructing the word embedding vector corresponding to the defined word, a methodology aligning with the approaches of (Mickus et al., 2022; Zanzotto et al., 2010; Hill et al., 2016).
The dataset includes, lemma, lemma vector representations, and their respective gloss.
The developed model is expected to generate novel lemma vector representations for the unseen human-readable definitions in the test set. Such a strategy allows users to search for words based on anticipated definitions or meanings.
Task 2: Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD)
WSD focuses on identifying the specific sense of a word in a given context. This technique involves determining a word's intended meaning by calculating the overlap between its contextual use and the provided gloss or definition.
The dataset consists of word, context, and context ID, and corresponding gloss ID. The developed model is expected to retrieve the suitable gloss ID for the word in the context from the WSD dictionary.
