DORE: Definition MOdelling in PoRtuguEse

This repository introduces DORE, a comprehensive corpus of over 100,000 definitions from Portuguese dictionaries. Alongside DORE, we also introduce the models used to perform Portuguese DM. The release of DORE aims to fill in the gap of resources for Automatic Definition Generation, or Definition Modelling (DM), in Portuguese. DORE is the first dataset released for Portuguese DM.

Data Collection

For version 1.0, we collected pairs of lemma, definition from two e-dictionaries in Portuguese. See the following table for more details.
