| Challenge: | Existing methods on robust neural machine translation (NMT) construct adversarial examples by injecting noise into authentic examples and indiscriminately exploit two types of examples. |
| Approach: | They propose an iterative scheduled data-switch training framework to mitigate this problem by injecting noise into authentic examples and indiscriminately exploiting two types of examples. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms several competitive benchmarks on four translation benchmarks. |

| Challenge: | Existing datasets focus on captions describing images or videos, which are not large and diverse enough. |
| Approach: | They propose a large-scale video subtitle translation dataset to facilitate multi-modality machine translation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset is 10 times larger than the widely used *How2* and *VaTeX* datasets. |

| Challenge: | Knowledge Editing (KE) has gained increasing attention, yet current evaluation frameworks do not integrate KE into real-world application scenarios. |
| Approach: | They propose a script-based benchmark which encompasses both counterfactual and temporal edits and integrates token-level and text-level evaluation methods. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method combines token-level and text-level evaluation methods with a new fact-based evaluation framework. |

| Challenge: | Deductive and inductive reasoning are fundamental components of human cognition . authors present a benchmark to assess their performance in procedural planning . |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark to assess the deductive and inductive reasoning abilities of LLMs . they propose IMSE to enable LLM to generate multiple similar procedural plans . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves inductive reasoning abilities of LLMs, the authors show . they show that LLM models show excellent deductive reasoning capabilities but suboptimal inductive performance. |
