| Challenge: | Lemmatization holds significance in both natural language processing (NLP) and linguistics due to the highly inflected nature and morphological richness of Bangla text. |
| Approach: | They propose linguistic rules for lemmatization and utilize a dictionary along with the rules to design a lemma specifically for Bangla. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system achieves 96.36% accuracy when tested against a manually annotated test dataset. |

| Challenge: | In a cross-dataset evaluation, models trained on BanNERD consistently outperformed those trained on four existing Bangla NER datasets. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Bangla as a language to create the most extensive human-annotated and validated Bangla NLP dataset. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms existing methods on Bangla NER datasets and performs competitively on English datasets. |
