This paper proposed an algorithm for part-of-speech (POS) tagging senses of a bilingual dictionary. The algorithm is applied on the Al-Mawrid Arabic-English dictionary.
The paper investigates why Word-in-Context (WiC) remains difficult for language models, suggesting that the lack of an explicit sense inventory contributes to the challenge. By evaluating open LLMs on both WiC and traditional Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) tasks, the authors find that providing candidate senses—akin to WSD—consistently improves WiC performance. Human evaluation indicates that many WiC errors stem from label ambiguity or mismatched sense boundaries, with models often over‑discriminating senses and making overly fine‑grained distinctions.

MUDIDI is a two-stage framework designed to digitize multilingual dictionaries that are currently only available as scanned images. The first stage assesses character recognition and markup preservation, while the second stage segments dictionary entries and maps them into the SIL Multi-Dictionary Formatter schema. The authors also release a dataset of 30 annotated dictionaries and benchmark OCR, LLM, and VLM systems, finding that LLMs generally outperform others and that providing additional context improves digitization quality.

KoNeoBench is a curated dataset designed to evaluate large language models’ understanding of Korean neologisms. It contains 1,785 recently attested Korean words from online news since 2020, each accompanied by usage examples, word‑formation analyses, and dictionary‑style definitions. The authors define four evaluation tasks, report results from recent models and a human baseline, and find that current LLMs struggle with recovering source components, distinguishing semantic categories, and generating accurate definitions.
