| Challenge: | Existing work on monolingual or binary hate classification in Bangla has not addressed the challenge of multi-label hate speech classification in underrepresented languages. |
| Approach: | They propose a multi-label transliterated Bangla hate speech dataset that translates or transliterates under-resourced text to higher-resource text before classifying the hate group(s). |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms other methods in the zero-shot setting while achieving state-of-the-art performance. |

| Challenge: | Existing studies in Bangla focus on hate classification while overlooking interpretability. |
| Approach: | They propose to create a dataset with human-annotated labels for banla that contains 19,203 YouTube comments spanning April 2024–June 2025. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset outperforms existing datasets on open and closed-source LLMs on interpretability and better understanding of hate speech in linguistically rich yet under-resourced languages. |
