| Challenge: | Lack of wide-coverage and high-quality LRs is a longstanding issue in natural language processing (NLP) however, there are no large initiatives of similar scale for creating new LR or improving existing ones. |
| Approach: | They propose a generic approach to combine implicit crowdsourcing and language learning to mass-produce language resources (LRs) they describe its core paradigm that consists in pairing specific types of LRs with specific exercises . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach can be used in several learning scenarios to produce a multitude of NLP resources and alleviate the long-standing issue of the lack of LRs. |

| Challenge: | Prior work has focused on analysing lexical semantic relations in word embeddings or probing pretrained language models (PLMs) with some exceptions. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a multilingual parallel dataset of lexical semantic relations adapted from BATS in 15 languages including low-resource languages such as Bambara, Lithuanian, and Albanian as an experiment on cross-lingual transfer of relational knowledge. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset is adapted from a BATS-based dataset in 15 languages including low-resource languages such as Bambara, Lithuanian, and Albanian. |
