| Challenge: | In the field of natural language processing, active learning is a technique that is used to decide which examples are worth annotating . a number of studies have focused on sequence classification, text classification, question answering, and question answering. |
| Approach: | They propose two different approaches to deal with partially-annotated sentences . they propose an annotation scheme that can be used to train with tokens . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approaches achieve comparable or better performance than sentence-level annotations with a smaller number of annotated tokens. |

| Challenge: | Vacareanu et al., 2021) proposes a system that helps users build transparent information extraction models . rule-based methods address the opacity of neural architectures by producing models that are transparent . |
| Approach: | They propose a system that assists a user in constructing transparent information extraction models . the system generates high-precision rules even in a 1-shot setting, they show . |
| Outcome: | The proposed system generates high-precision rules even in a 1-shot setting . it outperforms manually written patterns on a widely-used relation extraction dataset . |

| Challenge: | a relatively small fine-tuned encoder-decoder model performs better than out-of-the-box LLMs and semantic role labeling parsers to accurately predict the relevant scenario information. |
| Approach: | They propose a neural architecture finetuned for the task of scenario context generation . they use a curated dataset of time and location annotations to train an encoder-decoder architecture . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs better than out-of-the-box LLMs and semantic role labeling parsers to accurately predict the relevant scenario information of a particular entity or event. |
