FINESSE: An Agent-Based Simulator and Benchmark Dataset for Multimodal Financial Event Sequences

FINESSE is an agent‑based simulation framework that generates synthetic, structured datasets of multiple interdependent financial event streams, such as transactions, payments, account status changes, and policy interventions. Each stream has its own action space, schema, and variable types, and the streams are coupled through agents’ evolving latent states, allowing temporally rich interactions. The accompanying FINESSE‑Bench dataset supports four tasks—balance forecasting, transaction fraud detection, missed payment prediction, and next event prediction—and baseline results are provided using various time‑series and event‑sequence methods.

Design of a Deep Learning Credit Risk Early Warning System Integrating Multi-source Heterogeneous Data

The paper presents a deep learning credit risk early warning system that fuses heterogeneous data sources, such as transaction behaviors and social networks, using deep neural networks and attention mechanisms. By extracting multidimensional features, the system establishes an early identification mechanism for corporate and individual credit risks. Testing shows that this approach improves the accuracy and timeliness of risk warnings compared to traditional rule‑based engines.

Herculean: An Agentic Benchmark for Financial Intelligence

arXiv:2605. 14355v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As AI agents improve, the central question is no longer whether they can solve isolated well-defined financial tasks, but whether they can reliably carry out financial professional work.

FinRED: An Expert-Guided Benchmark Generation and Evaluation Framework for Financial LLM Red-Teaming

FinRED is an expert‑guided framework for generating and evaluating financial LLM red‑teaming tests. It maps global financial standards to specific threats, converts real documents into context‑rich prompts, and offers a validated rubric that reduces false negatives. The framework is deployed in South Korea’s Financial Security Institute sandbox and is gated for qualified researchers.
