FinLLM-KG: Knowledge Graph-Enhanced LLMs for Financial Sentiment Analysis in Algorithmic Trading

FinLLM-KG is a model‑agnostic framework that enhances financial sentiment analysis by integrating causal large language models with a financial knowledge graph derived from SEC 10‑K filings. It injects temporally grounded, company‑level context at inference time without updating model weights, allowing sentiment predictions to consider broader firm‑level information. The framework also attributes sentiment scores to individual sentences and retrieved knowledge‑graph facts, improving explainability and supporting human‑in‑the‑loop review, and simulations show it consistently outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines in portfolio performance.

Evaluating Financial Sentiment in the Age of AI

The paper evaluates twelve financial sentiment models—including dictionary-based methods, finance-specific transformers, and open-source large language models—using linguistic and economic validity criteria. General-purpose LLMs match finance-specific transformers in classification performance but do not yield stronger economic relationships. While several models correlate with earnings surprises, none shows a significant link to next‑day stock returns, and performance is strongest for large earnings beats or misses.

Converting Expert Deliberation into Financial Signals Through A Context-Aware NLP Pipeline

The paper presents the CDSP (context-conditional deliberation signal pipeline), which transforms investment committee meeting transcripts into structured predictive features. CDSP segments transcripts into topical chunks, assigns asset‑class context labels via a large language model, maps financial keywords to a taxonomy, and adds sentiment polarity and mention frequency features. Using these engineered features on 48 monthly meetings, the best model—combining sentence embeddings with CDSP features—achieves 73% accuracy and a 0.73 F1 score, outperforming a simple stock‑choice baseline, though the improvement is not statistically significant.
