| Challenge: | Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a fundamental task to extract key information from texts, but annotated resources are scarce for dialects. |
| Approach: | They present the first dialectal NER dataset for German, BarNER, with 161K tokens annotated on Bavarian Wikipedia articles and tweets. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset improves on bar-wiki and moderately on bartweet with training first on Bavarian . |

| Challenge: | Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly permeating daily lives and require real-time interactions that mirror human conversations. |
| Approach: | They propose to use time-division-multiplexing to process queries and responses pseudo-simultaneously. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can listen to users while generating output and adjust to provide instant feedback. |
