# 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. 

|     Source        |  Amount  |
|-------------------|----------|
| Wiktionary  *( <https://pt.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wikcion%C3%A1rio:P%C3%A1gina_principal> )*       |  19,038   |
| Dicio  *( <https://www.dicio.com.br/> )*       |  83,981   |
| **Total**         | **103,019** |

One of the .json files is shown below. 

```json
[{"id": "pt.024", "lemma": "trouxa", "gloss": "pessoa que se deixa enganar com facilidade; quem é facilmente enganado ou iludido: o trouxa ainda acredita em tudo que ele fala."},
{"id": "pt.025", "lemma": "boxeador", "gloss": "pugilista; lutador de boxe; pessoa que, profissionalmente ou não, pratica boxe ou pugilismo."}]
```

## Data
**DORE** is available in [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/datasets/multidefmod/dore) and can be downloaded using the following code. 

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

dore = load_dataset('multidefmod/dore')
```
