Abstract
A reverse dictionary takes a descriptive phrase of a particular concept and returns words with definitions that align with that phrase. While many reverse dictionaries cater to languages such as English and are readily available online or have been developed by researchers, there is a notable lack of similar resources for the Arabic language. This paper describes our participation in the Arabic Reverse Dictionary shared task. Our proposed method consists of two main steps: First, we convert word definitions into multidimensional vectors. Then, we train these encoded vectors using the Semi-Decoder model for our target task. Our system secured 2nd place based on the Rank metric for both embeddings (Electra and Sgns).
