Abstract
Over the past fewdecades, the amount of information generated turned the Web into the largest knowledge infrastructure existing to date. Web archives have been at the forefront of data preservation, preventing the losses of significant data to humankind. Different snapshots of the web are saved everyday enabling users to surf the past web and to travel through this overtime. Despite these efforts, many people are not aware that the web is being preserved, often finding these infrastructures to be unattractive or difficult to use, when compared to common search engines. In this paper, we give a step towards making use of this preserved information to develop Public Archive an intuitive interface that enables end-users to search and analyze a large-scale of 67,242 past preserved news articles belonging to a Portuguese reference newspaper (Jornal Publico). The referred collection was obtained by scraping 10,976 versions of the homepage of the Jornal Publico preserved by the Portuguese web archive infrastructure (Arquivo.pt) during the time-period of 2010 to 2021. By doing this, we aim, not only to mark a stand in what respects to make use of this preserved information, but also to come up with an easy-to-follow solution, the Public Archive python package, which creates the roots to be used (with minor adaptations) by other news source providers interested in offering their readers access to past news articles.

Abstract
In recent years, the amount of information generated, consumed and stored has grown at an astonishing rate, making it difficult for those seeking information to extract knowledge in good time. This has become even more important, as the average reader is not as willing to spare more time out of their already busy schedule as in the past, thus prioritizing news in a summarized format, which are faster to digest. On top of that, people tend to increasingly rely on strong visual components to help them understand the focal point of news articles in a less tiresome manner. This growing demand, focused on exploring information through visual aspects, urges the need for the emergence of alternative approaches concerned with text understanding and narrative exploration. This motivated us to propose Text2Storyline, a platform for generating and exploring enriched storylines from an input text, a URL or a user query. The latter is to be issued on the PortugueseWebArchive (Arquivo.pt), therefore giving users the chance to expand their knowledge and build up on information collected from web sources of the past. To fulfill this objective, we propose a system that makes use of the TimeMatters algorithm to filter out non-relevant dates and organize relevant content by means of different displays: `Annotated Text', `Entities', `Storyline', `Temporal Clustering' and `Word Cloud'. To extend the users' knowledge, we rely on entity linking to connect persons, events, locations and concepts found in the text to Wikipedia pages, a process also known as Wikification. Each of the entities is then illustrated by means of an image collected from the Arquivo.pt.

Abstract
Extracting keywords from textual data is a crucial step for text analysis. One such process may involve a considerable amount of time when done manually. In this paper, we show how keyword extraction techniques can be used to untap texts of political nature. To accomplish this objective, we conduct a case-study on top of 16 Portuguese (PT) political party programs made available in the context of the legislative elections that took place in 30th of January 2022. Our contributions are two-fold. At the level of resources, we make available a curated dataset and a python notebook that systematizes the process of transforming text into quantitative data and into visual aspects. At the methodological level, we propose to extend the keyword extraction algorithm used in this study to extract the most relevant keywords, not only from individual political party programs, but also across the entire collection of documents. A further contribution is the case-study itself, which calls attention to the fact that such solutions may be of interest not only to common people, but also to journalists or politicians alike. Broadly, we demonstrate how the discussion and the analysis that stems from the results obtained may foster the political science research by making available large-scale processing of documents with marginal costs. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

The 6th International Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Texts: Text2Story 2023

Abstract
Over these past five years, significant breakthroughs, led by Transformers and large language models, have been made in understanding natural language text. However, the ability to capture contextual nuances in longer texts is still an elusive goal, let alone the understanding of consistent fine-grained narrative structures in text. These unsolved challenges and the interest in the community are at the basis of the sixth edition of Text2Story workshop to be held in Dublin on April 2nd, 2023 in conjunction with the 45th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR'23). In its sixth edition, we aim to bring to the forefront the challenges involved in understanding the structure of narratives and in incorporating their representation in well-established models, as well as in modern architectures (e.g., transformers) which are now common and form the backbone of almost every IR and NLP application. It is hoped that the workshop will provide a common forum to consolidate the multi-disciplinary efforts and foster discussions to identify the wide-ranging issues related to the narrative extraction and generation task. Text2Story includes sessions devoted to full research papers, work-in-progress, demos and dissemination papers, keynote talks and space for an informal discussion of the methods, of the challenges and of the future of this research area.
