led by Transformers and Large Language Models (LLMs), have been made in understanding natural language text. However, the ability to capture, represent, and analyze contextual nuances in longer texts is still an elusive goal, let alone the understanding of
consistent fine-grained narrative structures in text. In the seventh edition of the Text2Story workshop, we aim to bring to the forefront the challenges involved in understanding the structure of narratives and in incorporating their representation in well-established
frameworks, as well as in modern architectures (e.g., transformers) and AI-powered language models (</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW122168103" lang="EN-US" style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; line-height:19px"><span class="SpellingError SCXW122168103" style="margin:0px; padding:0px; border-bottom-width:1px; border-bottom-style:solid; border-bottom-color:transparent">e.g</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW122168103" lang="EN-US" style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; line-height:19px"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW122168103" style="margin:0px; padding:0px">, </span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW122168103" lang="EN-US" style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; line-height:19px"><span class="SpellingError SCXW122168103" style="margin:0px; padding:0px; border-bottom-width:1px; border-bottom-style:solid; border-bottom-color:transparent">chatGPT</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW122168103" lang="EN-US" style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; line-height:19px"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW122168103" style="margin:0px; padding:0px">)

are curious creatures, equipped with a sense of (and desire for) finding meaning in their environment. They are predisposed to identify patterns, real and spurious, in the world they live in, and above anything else, they understand the world in terms of narratives.
In this talk, we will explore a set of questions about narratives: what is a narrative made up of? What signals from textual prose tell us what the narrative is? What about signals from structured data that imply a particular narrative? What is the essence
of a story? How can narrative information be extracted and presented? Open source intelligence analysts and investigative reporters alike are hunting for the story, the narrative, behind the petabyte intercepts or terabyte leaks. The more data we gather or
have available, the stronger will be our thirst to </span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW122168103" lang="EN-GB" style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; line-height:19px"><span class="SpellingError SCXW122168103" style="margin:0px; padding:0px; border-bottom-width:1px; border-bottom-style:solid; border-bottom-color:transparent">distill</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW122168103" lang="EN-GB" style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:11pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; line-height:19px"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW122168103" style="margin:0px; padding:0px"> meaningful

storytelling aims to generate compelling narratives from image sequences. Existing models often focus on enhancing the representation of the image sequence, e.g., with external knowledge sources or advanced graph structures. Despite recent progress, the stories
are often repetitive, illogical, and lacking in detail. To mitigate these issues, we present a novel framework which integrates visual representations with pretrained language models and planning. Our model translates the image sequence into a visual prefix,
a sequence of continuous embeddings which language models can interpret. It also leverages a sequence of question-answer pairs as a blueprint plan for selecting salient visual concepts and determining how they should be assembled into a narrative. Automatic
and human evaluation on the VIST benchmark (Huang et al., 2016) demonstrates that blueprint-based models generate stories that are more coherent, interesting, and natural compared to competitive baselines and state-of-the-art systems.</span></span><span class="EOP SCXW122168103" style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:11pt; line-height:19px; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </span></p>
