Definition Generation

Definition generation research focuses on automatically creating concise and contextually appropriate definitions for words, aiming to improve language learning and access to information. Current efforts leverage large language models (LLMs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and transformer architectures, often incorporating techniques like contrastive prompt learning and multi-tasking to enhance definition quality and control complexity. This work is significant for advancing natural language processing, particularly in creating accessible resources for language learners and improving the usability of digital dictionaries and information systems across multiple languages.
