Abstract
The capabilities of the most recent language models have increased the interest in integrating them into real-world applications. However, the fact that these models generate plausible, yet incorrect text poses a constraint when considering their use in several domains. Healthcare is a prime example of a domain where text-generative trustworthiness is a hard requirement to safeguard patient well-being. In this paper, we present Physio, a chat-based application for physical rehabilitation. Physio is capable of making an initial diagnosis while citing reliable health sources to support the information provided. Furthermore, drawing upon external knowledge databases, Physio can recommend rehabilitation exercises and over-the-counter medication for symptom relief. By combining these features, Physio can leverage the power of generative models for language processing while also conditioning its response on dependable and verifiable sources. A live demo of Physio is available at https://physio.inesctec.pt.

Abstract
The Text2Story Workshop series, dedicated to Narrative Extraction from Texts, has been running successfully since 2018. Over the past six years, significant progress, largely propelled by Transformers and Large Language Models, has advanced our understanding of natural language text. Nevertheless, the representation, analysis, generation, and comprehensive identification of the different elements that compose a narrative structure remains a challenging objective. In its seventh edition, the workshop strives to consolidate a common platform and a multidisciplinary community for discussing and addressing various issues related to narrative extraction tasks. In particular, we aim to bring to the forefront the challenges involved in understanding narrative structures and integrating their representation into established frameworks, as well as in modern architectures (e.g., transformers) and AI-powered language models (e.g., chatGPT) which are now common and form the backbone of almost every IR and NLP application. Text2Story encompasses sessions covering full research papers, work-in-progress, demos, resources, position and dissemination papers, along with keynote talks. Moreover, there is dedicated space for informal discussions on methods, challenges, and the future of research in this dynamic field.

Abstract
Fake news detection (FND) tools are essential to increase the reliability of information in social media. FND can be approached as a machine learning classification problem so that discriminative features can be automatically extracted. However, this requires a large news set, which in turn implies a considerable amount of human experts' effort for labeling. In this paper, we explore Positive and Unlabeled Learning (PUL) to reduce the labeling cost. In particular, we improve PUL with the network-based Label Propagation (PU-LP) algorithm. PU-LP achieved competitive results in FND exploiting relations between news and terms and using few labeled fake news. We propose integrating an attention mechanism in PU-LP that can define which terms in the network are more relevant for detecting fake news. We use GNEE, a state-of-the-art algorithm based on graph attention networks. Our proposal outperforms state-of-the-art methods, improving F-1 in 2% to 10%, especially when only 10% labeled fake news are available. It is competitive with the binary baseline, even when nearly half of the data is labeled. Discrimination ability is also visualized through t-SNE. We also present an analysis of the limitations of our approach according to the type of text found in each dataset.

Abstract
Transthyretin-associated Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) is a chronic fatal disease with a high incidence in Portugal. It is therefore relevant to provide professionals and citizens with a tool that enables a detailed geographical and territorial study. For this reason, we have developed an web based application that brings together techniques applied to spatial data that allow the study of the historical progression and growth of cases in patients' residential areas and areas of origin as well as an epidemic forecast. The tool enables the exploration of geographical longitudinal data at national, district and county levels. High density regions and periods can be visually identified according to parameters selected by the user. The visual evaluation of the data and its comparison across different time spans of the disease era can have an impact on more informed decision making by those working with patients to improve their quality of life, treatment or follow-up. The tool is available online for data exploration and its code is available on GitHub for adaptation to other geospatial scenarios.
