PROCEEDINGS OF THE 63RD ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS, VOL 1: LONG PAPERS
Abstract
We present PolyNarrative, a new multilingual dataset of news articles, annotated for narratives. Narratives are overt or implicit claims, recurring across articles and languages, promoting a specific interpretation or viewpoint on an ongoing topic, often propagating mis/disinformation. We developed two-level taxonomies with coarse- and fine-grained narrative labels for two domains: (i) climate change and (ii) the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia. We collected news articles in four languages (Bulgarian, English, Portuguese, and Russian) related to the two domains and manually annotated them at the paragraph level. We make the dataset publicly available, along with experimental results of several strong baselines that assign narrative labels to news articles at the paragraph or the document level. We believe that this dataset will foster research in narrative detection and enable new research directions towards more multi-domain and highly granular narrative related tasks.

Abstract
This work introduces a web application for extracting, processing, and visualizing data from sleep studies reports. Using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), the pipeline extracts over 75 key data points from four types of sleep reports. The web application offers an intuitive interface to view individual reports' details and aggregate data from multiple reports. The pipeline demonstrated 100% accuracy in extracting targeted information from a test set of 40 reports, even in cases with missing data or formatting inconsistencies. The developed tool streamlines the analysis of OSA reports, reducing the need for technical expertise and enabling healthcare providers and researchers to utilize sleep study data efficiently. Future work aims to expand the dataset for more complex analyses and imputation techniques.

Advances in Computational Intelligence and Robotics - Adapting Global Communication and Marketing Strategies to Generative AI
Abstract
This chapter examines how GenAI and predictive modelling strategies affect hyperpersonalised marketing. Through a comprehensive literature review and case studies, it examines hyper-p ersonalisation's theoretical frameworks, technical infrastructures, and ethical and governance issues. Large language models, generative adversarial networks, and diffusion models combined with advanced predictive analytics allow firms to scale real- time, highly individualised customer experiences. Effective implementation requires sophisticated data architectures, algorithmic transparency, and strong privacy protections. Integration complexity and ethical accountability are major barriers to consumer engagement and conversion, according to the research. Based on these findings, the chapter proposes an integrated framework that combines technological innovation with ethics and customer focus. This research advances marketing theory and provides practical advice for companies using AI- driven hyper-personalisation while maintaining consumer trust and regulatory compliance. © 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

Abstract
Manual selection of real estate properties can pose considerable challenges for agents since it needs a careful balance of various factors to satisfy client requirements while also manoeuvring through the complexities of the market. Although automated valuation models are widely used to estimate property market values, they are not designed to support property recommendation tasks. To address this gap, filtering-based recommendation methods have been explored, including collaborative and content-based approaches. However, these methods face several limitations in the real estate domain. This paper proposes a recommendation methodology designed to identify houses that closely resemble a given property, allowing agents to select the best matches based on geographical and physical characteristics. To assess the performance of the proposed methodology, we employ a range of evaluation metrics that measure different aspects of the model’s effectiveness in ranking and recommending relevant items. The findings suggest that, while geographic features may slightly influence ranking behaviour, the model is capable of producing diverse and relevant recommendations consistently.

Developing Teaching Competencies for Pedagogical and Curricular Innovation
Abstract
The Informatics Engineering degree at ISEP, aligned with international standards, was the first undergraduate degree in Portugal to be certified with EUR-ACE®. The programme emphasizes project-based learning, in which students, working in teams, develop interdisciplinary projects applying knowledge from all courses in each semester. A specific laboratory-project course coordinates an integrative project that aims to address complex problems. In the 2nd semester, two computer engineering courses (object-oriented programming and software engineering), and two mathematics courses (discrete mathematics and statistics) are involved, besides the laboratory/project course. This paper focuses on the integration of mathematics with informatics courses in this project, addressing real-world-like problems, bridging software engineering with mathematical topics. To assess the adopted PBL, enquiries were carried out among students. This approach fosters active learning and reinforces the relevance of mathematics within engineering, preparing students for job market demands. © 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
