| Challenge: | Dehumanisation involves the perception and/or treatment of a social group’s members as less than human. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a new sentiment resource to make it easier to transfer to other languages and to evaluate and use . they then apply the method to study attitudes to migration expressed in Slovene newspapers, and examine how this discourse changed between the 2015-16 migration crisis and the 2022-23 period following the war in Ukraine. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is easier to transfer to other languages and evaluates . it combines zero-shot cross-lingual valence and arousal detection with statistical significance testing to examine attitudes to migration expressed in Slovene newspapers . |

| Approach: | They propose a neural transfer learning method for detecting metaphorical sentences in Slovene . scheme can be used for future metaphor annotations of other socially relevant topics . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can be used for future metaphor annotations of other socially relevant topics. |
