Abstract
This paper introduces two machine learning optimization algorithms to significantly enhance position estimation in Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) aided localization for mobile user equipment in Non-Line-of-Sight conditions. Leveraging the strengths of these algorithms, we present two methods capable of achieving extremely high accuracy, reaching sub-centimeter or even sub-millimeter levels at 3.5 GHz. The simulation results highlight the potential of these approaches, showing significant improvements in indoor mobile localization. The demonstrated precision and reliability of the proposed methods offer new opportunities for practical applications in real-world scenarios, particularly in Non-Line-of-Sight indoor localization. By evaluating four optimization techniques, we determine that a combination of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) results in localization errors under 30 cm in 90 % of the cases, and under 5 mm for close to 85 % of cases when considering a simulated room of 10 m by 10m where two of the walls are equipped with RIS tiles.

Abstract
The Sixth International Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Texts (Text2Story'23) was held on April 2 nd , 2023, in conjunction with the 45 th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR 2023) in Dublin, Ireland. Continuing the tradition of past years, the workshop was held as a hybrid event. Online participation was allowed using the Zoom platform. During the course of the day, more than 50 attendees had the opportunity to follow up and discuss the recent advances in topics related to representation, extraction, and generation of narratives. The workshop program included two invited keynotes and nineteen paper presentations. The proceedings of the workshop are available online 1 . Date: 2 April 2023.

Abstract
Digital transformation is a phenomenon arising from social, behavioral and habitual changes due to global economic and technological development. Its main characteristic is adopting disruptive digital technologies by organizations to transform their capabilities, structures, processes and business model components. One of the disruptive digital technologies used in organizations' digital transformation process is Robotic Process Automation. However, the use of Robotic Process Automation is limited by several constraints that affect its reliability and increase the cost. Artificial Intelligence techniques can improve some of these constraints. The use of Robotic Process Automation combined with Artificial Intelligence capabilities is called Hyperautomation. However, there is a lack of solutions that successfully integrate both technologies in the context of digital transformation. This work proposes an integrated approach using Robotic Process Automation and Artificial Intelligence as disruptive Hyperautomation technology for digital transformation.
