# Arabic Reverse Dictionary Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
## Overview |
|
|
|
|
|
We present a novel Arabic Reverse Dictionary (RD) dataset comprising over 58,000 definitions collected from trusted, open-source books and websites. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first open-source Arabic reverse dictionary dataset available to the research community. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Construction |
|
|
|
|
|
The dataset was developed through multiple extraction methods: |
|
|
- Direct extraction from PDF text for some sources |
|
|
- Optical Character Recognition (OCR) using advanced models (Gemini and Mistral) for other sources |
|
|
- All definitions were subsequently reconstructed using GPT-4o to ensure consistency and clarity in the final dataset |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
- **Total definitions**: ~58,000 |
|
|
- **Average definition length**: 13.64 words |
