FinArg-2:
Temporal Inference of Financial Arguments
NTCIR-18 FinArg-2
In FinArg-1, we explored three types of financial documents and proposed tasks that combine argument mining and sentiment analysis. In FinArg-2, we aim to introduce "Temporal Inference of Financial Arguments," focusing on the assessment of temporal information, which is a distinct phenomenon in financial opinions. In FinArg-2, we will continue utilizing the same resources as in FinArg-1, including analyst reports, earnings conference calls, and social media data. Furthermore, all annotations will be on the same documents, enabling participants to leverage features from FinArg-1 to enhance their performance.
In FinArg-2, we outline three tasks as follows:
Assessment of the Premise's Influence Period: Models are required to infer the duration of an event's impact on a company's operations.
Detection of Argument Temporal References: Models must identify the temporal tags associated with an argument.
Assessment of the Claim's Validity Period: Models should predict the validity period of a claim. For instance, the opinion "I think $AAPL will reach $200 today" should not be considered valid after three days from its publication time.
