Transfer Learning and Transformer Architecture for Financial Sentiment Analysis

Financial sentiment analysis allows financial institutions like Banks and Insurance Companies to better manage the credit scoring of their customers in a better way. Financial domain uses specialized mechanisms which makes sentiment analysis difficult. In this paper, we propose a pre-trained language model which can help to solve this problem with fewer labelled data. We extend on the principles of Transfer learning and Transformation architecture principles and also take into consideration recent outbreak of pandemics like COVID. We apply the sentiment analysis to two different sets of data. We also take smaller training set and fine tune the same as part of the model.

Analysis of Multidomain Abstractive Summarization Using Salience Allocation

This paper explores the realm of abstractive text summarization through the lens of the SEASON (Salience Allocation as Guidance for Abstractive SummarizatiON) technique, a model designed to enhance summarization by leveraging salience allocation techniques. The study evaluates SEASON's efficacy by comparing it with prominent models like BART, PEGASUS, and ProphetNet, all fine-tuned for various text summarization tasks. The assessment is conducted using diverse datasets including CNN/Dailymail, SAMSum, and Financial-news based Event-Driven Trading (EDT), with a specific focus on a financial dataset containing a substantial volume of news articles from 2020/03/01 to 2021/05/06. This paper employs various evaluation metrics such as ROUGE, METEOR, BERTScore, and MoverScore to evaluate the performance of these models fine-tuned for generating abstractive summaries. The analysis of these metrics offers a thorough insight into the strengths and weaknesses demonstrated by each model in summarizing news dataset, dialogue dataset and financial text dataset. The results presented in this paper not only contribute to the evaluation of the SEASON model's effectiveness but also illuminate the intricacies of salience allocation techniques across various types of datasets.
