# English Words Definitions

This dataset contains definitions and important facts about 467k words that appear in the context of English texts.

It has been used to train our high-performance, compact text embedding models [`mdbr-leaf-ir`](https://huggingface.co/MongoDB/mdbr-leaf-ir) and [`mdbr-leaf-mt`](https://huggingface.co/MongoDB/mdbr-leaf-mt).

The original list of words stems from [here](https://github.com/dwyl/english-words). We have extended it with definitions and important facts about each word using Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
