Abstract (EN): 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. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
