The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) has significantly influenced lexicographic research worldwide. However, low-resource languages such as Uzbek still lack digital corpora and computational tools for dictionary creation. This paper presents a conceptual framework for developing an AI-enhanced Uzbek-English thematic learner’s dictionary focused on education-related vocabulary. The research emphasizes the integration of AI technologies – such as semantic clustering, machine learning, and bilingual embeddings – to automate corpus analysis and thematic grouping. This model aims to improve vocabulary acquisition, translation accuracy, and pedagogical usability while contributing to the digital development of the Uzbek language.
