Dictionaries can help language learners to learn vocabulary by providing definitions of words. Since traditional dictionaries present word senses as discrete items in predefined inventories, they fall short of flexibility, which is required in providing specific meanings of words in particular contexts. In this paper, we introduce the LitMind Dictionary (https://dictionary.litmind.ink), an open-source online generative dictionary that takes a word and context containing the word as input and automatically generates a definition as output. Incorporating state-of-the-art definition generation models, it supports not only Chinese and English, but also Chinese-English cross-lingual queries. Moreover, it has a user-friendly front-end design that can help users understand the query words quickly and easily. All the code and data are available at https://github.com/blcuicall/litmind-dictionary.
翻译:词典可以提供词句定义,帮助语言学习者学习词汇。由于传统词典在预先定义的目录中将词感作为独立的项目,因此它们缺乏灵活性,而提供特定情况下具体词义的含义则需要这种灵活性。在本文中,我们介绍LitMind词典(https://terminary.limind.ink),这是一个公开的在线谱典,它用一个单词和上下文包含一个字词作为输入,自动生成一个定义作为输出。它不仅支持中英最先进的定义生成模型,而且支持中文和英文的跨语种查询。此外,它有一个方便用户的前端设计,可以帮助用户快速和方便地理解查询词句。所有代码和数据都可在https://github.com/blcuicall/litmind-字典上查阅。
