I.; Cardeira, E.; Baptista, J.; Batista, F. Editor: Pablo Gamallo; Daniela Claro; António Teixeira; Livy Real; Marcos Garcia; Hugo Gonçalo Oliveira; Raquel Amaro Resumo: This paper conducts a systematic survey of Support Verb Constructions (SVC) in Medieval Portuguese using the Corpus de Textos Antigos (CTA) corpus. SVC involves verb-noun combinations, where the noun serves as the main predicative element, and the verb conveys grammatical values. Limited historical evidence exists for SVC in earlier stages of Portuguese, with previous studies lacking digital access and Natural Language Processing tools. This study utilizes a subset of the CTA, comprising around 0.5 million tokens, annotated for part-of-speech and lemmata. Out of 175 candidate support verbs in Modern Portuguese, 81 were identified in the corpus, totaling 27,645 occurrences. Manual analysis of concordances revealed a little more than 3,000 SVC instances and more than 900 predicative nouns (types), uncovering several linguistic phenomena. The paper delineates the adopted procedure and explores essential linguistic properties of identified SVC in the CTA corpus, emphasizing the significance of leveraging NLP tools for a comprehensive linguistic description of Old Portuguese.

Editor: Mário Rodrigues; José Paulo Leal; Filipe Portela Resumo: Legal documents are commonly known for being lengthy and having a specific vocabulary. For professionals and non-jurists, having a summary of each document is crucial so they can use it as a reference for other cases without spending too much time reading the entire document. In the Portuguese Supreme Court of Justice, summaries are done manually, by its Judges which is very time-consuming because of the length of the legal documents. Aiming to support the Judges in this task, the goal of this work is to investigate how different techniques and methods of automated text summarization can achieve good performance on Portuguese legal documents.

Editor: António Teixeira; Carlos Martinez-Hinarejos; Eduardo Lleida; Dayana Ribas Resumo: The iRead4Skills project aims to enhance adult literacy and essential skills by merging technology and culture. It addresses the needs of adult learners, particularly those with low literacy skills, by providing an intelligent system that evaluates text complexity and suggests readings suited to individual levels. This open-access system supports multilingual environments, offering resources in languages like Portuguese, Spanish, and French. The project innovates by using end-user input to develop new text complexity measures, thus aligning learning tools more closely with real-world literacy needs. It also emphasizes the role of technology, especially in the area of NLP, in tailoring educational materials for trainers and learners. Through collaboration with various stakeholders — including universities, government bodies, and research institutions — the project aims to inform policymakers and educators about ways to improve workforce skills and foster lifelong learning across Europe.

L.; Ventura, R. Resumo: Human space exploration typically requires considerable teamwork involving multiple disciplines in science and engineering. Effective and efficient field systems and information flow with the support teams are paramount for mission success, particularly in crewed missions such as the upcoming Artemis (Moon) and planned Mars missions. Moreover, human-robotic teams will be crucial in such scenarios to allow humans to extend their capabilities to previously unreachable or unsafe regions through teleoperation. In this paper, we make a technological description of a new teleoperation interface for such planetary exploration, addressing the challenges of field rover teleoperation and ensuring a streamlined information flow between the field and support teams within the AMADEE-24 Mars analog mission (March 2024). In particular, astronauts inside the habitat will use our interface (MEROP), which features (1) visually augmented mission goals (regions of interest and safe paths) provided by the Mission Support Center (MSC) before each task, (2) live geo-referenced annotation and automated output for the MSC (3) situational awareness displays and widgets, and (4) direct and semi-autonomous robot control methods. Furthermore, we describe the system architecture that allowed the integration of our interface with the mission rover (Mercator), whose development is entirely independent of our team. Finally, we present the user feedback from the analog astronauts acquired during preparations for the AMADEE mission.
