It works on the back of a Conditional Random Fields based\nsequential labeling algorithm and a bootstrapping approach. Bootstrapping\nenables the model to gradually become more aware of the idiosyncrasies of the\ntarget corpus. In this paper we describe the main components of the toolkit as\nwell as experimental results stemming from both automatic and manual\nevaluation. We release DefExt as open source along with the necessary files to\nrun it in any Unix machine. We also provide access to training and test data\nfor immediate use.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.02514v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.02514v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"defext-a-semi-supervised-definition","repo_url":"https://bitbucket.org/luisespinosa/defext","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"definition-extraction","task_name":"Definition Extraction"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1606.02514","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
