FiNCAT-2: An enhanced Financial Numeral Claim Analysis Tool
Sohom Ghosh, Sudip Kumar Naskar · Software Impacts · 2022
In recent times, investors tend to use digital financial content available online while making investment-related decisions. Numerals presented in such content may be claims of executives for alluring them. Numerals that represent claims i.e. ‘in-claim' numerals may not necessarily be real facts. Investors should not get swayed by the information presented using ‘in-claim' numerals. We developed an open-source tool, FiNCAT-2 that distinguishes ‘in-claim' numerals from those which are not (i.e. ‘out-of-claim' numerals). It consists of a logistic regression model trained using contextual BERT embeddings (768-dimensions) of the target numeral. It can be accessed from GitHub, Google Colab and HuggingFace Spaces.
