Uses
The model is intended for research purposes, as a source of contextualized dictionary-like lexical definitions.
The fine-tuning datasets were limited to Finnish. Although the original model is multilingual, we did not evaluate its ability to generate definitions in other languages.
Generated definitions can contain all sorts of biases and stereotypes, stemming from the underlying language model and raw dictionary data.
