| Challenge: | a recent study focused on the use of self-supervised learning to learn speech representations for indigenous languages . aaron e. scott: the vast linguistic diversity represented by indigenous languages remains unexplored . by expanding the scope of language processing to include indigenous languages, we can foster linguistic inclusivity, he says . |
| Approach: | They benchmark the efficacy of large-scale self-supervised learning models on indigenous American languages. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can generalize to real-world data, showing strong performance . evaluators found that the model performed better than monolingual models on indigenous languages . |

| Challenge: | a corpus of 400k annotations of related work is used to generate a "related work" section . authors and researchers often turn to tools like Google Scholar to find related research for their papers . |
| Approach: | They propose to use a corpus with 400k annotations to generate a "related work" section . they propose to automate the process by using a newly-released corpus that contains human annotations . |
| Outcome: | The proposed technique can be automated by using human annotations of related work sections. |
