| Challenge: | a parallel "infodemic" has emerged with the COVID-19 pandemic . logical fallacies can be subtly encoded in the structure of a document across multiple sentences . |
| Approach: | They evaluate an annotation schema for labeling logical fallacy types using linguist annotations . they propose to use a machine learning algorithm to train annotators for fallacy detection . |
| Outcome: | The proposed annotation schema is clear and non-overlapping for manual and system assignment. |

| Challenge: | Existing NLP systems can only access the retrieved context to determine the answer, resulting in a knowledge gap between the information that is required to answer the question and the information available to assess the model’s correctness. |
| Approach: | They ask whether adding relevant background helps mitigate users’ over-reliance on predictions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach reduces over-reliance on model predictions even in the absence of sufficient information to assess their correctness. |

| Challenge: | Inuktitut language is a member of the Inuit-Yupik-Unangan family . it is spoken in two territories, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories . |
| Approach: | They describe a sentence-aligned Inuktitut–English corpus released in Nunavut . it is the largest parallel corpus of a polysynthetic language released to date . they also describe preliminary experiments on machine translation between the languages . |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus is the largest sentence-aligned corpus of a polysynthetic language or an Indigenous language of the Americas . the alignments were evaluated and the results were compared with other methods . |
