We present a systematic methodology for transforming structured linguistic resources into specialized AI systems, demonstrating that expert-curated lexical databases can serve as effective foundations for conversational AI development. Our approach converts Hindi WordNet into 1.25 million diverse instruction-response pairs, fine-tunes a 12B-parameter language model using resource-efficient LoRA with 4-bit quantization. Evaluation through a Hindi language learning chatbot demonstrates that structured-knowledge-based systems achieve superior pedagogical effectiveness (91.0 vs. 79.4-83.6 for general-purpose models) while maintaining competitive semantic performance and exceptional consistency. The complete pipeline demonstrates a proof-of-concept methodology using Hindi for developing specialized AI systems for any languages with WordNet resources. This work addresses the critical gap in AI accessibility for low-resource languages, offering a practical alternative to corpus-intensive approaches and potentially enabling specialized AI development for the hundreds of languages with existing WordNet resources.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-lexicon-to-ai-a-structured-data-pipeline-for-specialized-conversational-in", "canonical_source": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.26112", "published_at": "2026-06-26 04:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-26 04:05:01.182453+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["large-language-models", "natural-language-processing", "ai-research", "ai-products", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Hindi WordNet", "LoRA", "WordNet"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-lexicon-to-ai-a-structured-data-pipeline-for-specialized-conversational-in", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-lexicon-to-ai-a-structured-data-pipeline-for-specialized-conversational-in.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-lexicon-to-ai-a-structured-data-pipeline-for-specialized-conversational-in.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-lexicon-to-ai-a-structured-data-pipeline-for-specialized-conversational-in.jsonld"}}
