Abstract
As the amount of generated information grows, reading and summarizing texts of large collections turns into a challenging task. Many documents do not come with descriptive terms, thus requiring humans to generate keywords on-the-fly. The need to automate this kind of task demands the development of keyword extraction systems with the ability to automatically identify keywords within the text. One approach is to resort to machine-learning algorithms. These, however, depend on large annotated text corpora, which are not always available. An alternative solution is to consider an unsupervised approach. In this article, we describe YAKE!, a light-weight unsupervised automatic keyword extraction method which rests on statistical text features extracted from single documents to select the most relevant keywords of a text. Our system does not need to be trained on a particular set of documents, nor does it depend on dictionaries, external corpora, text size, language, or domain. To demonstrate the merits and significance of YAKE!, we compare it against ten state-of-the-art unsupervised approaches and one supervised method. Experimental results carried out on top of twenty datasets show that YAKE! significantly outperforms other unsupervised methods on texts of different sizes, languages, and domains. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract
In this demo, we present a tool that allows to automatically generate temporal summarization of news collections. Conta-me Histórias (Tell me stories) is a friendly user interface that enables users to explore and revisit events in the past. To select relevant stories and temporal periods, we rely on a key-phrase extraction algorithm developed by our research team, and event detection methods made available by the research community. Additionally, we offer the engine as an open source package that can be extended to support different datasets or languages. The work described here stems from our participation at the Arquivo.pt 2018 competition, where we have been awarded the first prize. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.
