| Challenge: | Existing methods to improve few-shot performance in aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) require complex interactions between the target and the polarity of the sentiment. |
| Approach: | They propose a pipeline approach to construct a noisy ABSA dataset and adapt it to the ABSA tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art on the aspect extraction sentiment classification task and is capable of performing the harder aspect sentiment triplet extraction task. |

| Challenge: | Training a Named Entity Recognition model involves fixing a taxonomy of entity types . however, requirements evolve and a model may need to recognize additional entity types. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that uses only partially annotated datasets to train a model to recognize additional entity types. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach performs better with partially annotated datasets than other approaches . the gap between the proposed approach and other approaches is large in additional datasets . |
