Overview
FinProp 1.0 was developed by researchers at IBM Almaden Research Center, San Jose, CA, USA. FinProp consists of proposition bank-style annotations from approximately 1000 English compliance sentences obtained from IBM’s publicly available annual financial reports. These sentences were extracted from report sections such as “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”. Each of the sentences are annotated with a layer of “universal” semantic role labels covering parts of speech, argument labeling, and predicate labeling. This dataset makes for great training data to train a deep neural network to perform Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) on unlabeled finance domain language. Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) is a process in natural language processing that deals with structurally representing the meaning of a sentence.
