WordAlchemy: A transformer-based Reverse Dictionary

Abstract--A reverse dictionary takes a target word's description This difficulty is handled by the'reverse dictionary'. Currently, there does not exist any Reverse Dictionary provider with support for any Indian Language. Dictionaries have many practical usages e.g. This architecture uses the Translation Language Modeling (TLM) technique, rather than the conventional BERT's Masked Sometimes, new language learners can describe a word in a particular language but fail to retrieve the exact word I. Anomia patients, people who are able to recognize and describe an object but are not able to name it due to a neurological disorder, can also be assisted by using a reverse dictionary. To address all these issues more accurately, we propose and develop a novel open-source Reverse Dictionary named "WordAlchemy", mainly based on the proposed transformerbased mT5 [2] model. In this section, we will focus on the previous work in the domain of Reverse Dictionary.
