The primary objective of this task is to determine whether the meaning of a particular word usage is documented in a dictionary or not. For this purpose, sense entries are compared with word usages from modern and historical corpora using a pre-trained Word-in-Context embedder that allows us to model this task in a few-shot scenario. Additionally, we use human annotations on the target corpora to adapt hyperparameters and evaluate our models using 5-fold cross-validation. Compared to a random sample from a corpus, our model is able to considerably increase the detected number of word usages with non-recorded senses.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.02285v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2403.02285v2.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":"detection-of-non-recorded-word-senses-in","repo_url":"https://github.com/changeiskey/so-extract-db","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
