FinRiskAtlas: Decision-Aligned Evaluation of Large Language Models for Financial Risk Review

FinRiskAtlas is a Chinese-language benchmark designed to evaluate large language models (LLMs) for financial risk review by focusing on decision‑aligned tasks rather than generic financial knowledge. It contains 9,742 instances across 53 task families, including 42 domain‑knowledge families and 11 downstream review operations defined by explicit evaluation contracts. The extended FinRisk‑Ask framework replays 680 pre‑action states from 104 professional trajectories, withholding future evidence during inference to assess evidence‑state control and request targeting. Results across 33 model configurations show that operation‑level evaluation yields distinct rankings and that knowledge‑based shortlisting can incur significant regret, while frequent use of the Ask branch does not necessarily improve evidence acquisition, highlighting gaps in broad financial capability scores.

FinVector-Market-4B: A Controlled Study of LoRA Adaptation for Structured Financial Tasks

FinVector-Market-4B adapts the Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B language model using rank‑16 LoRA on a 22,000‑example financial corpus. On a 600‑example benchmark with implicit and explicit JSON‑schema contracts, the adapted model improves JSON validity from 0% to 91.3% and boosts task‑specific metrics—FinQA exact match from 14.7% to 40.0%, calculator‑expression correctness from 48.0% to 82.7%, scenario branch‑label agreement from 20.1% to 89.5%, and implication‑direction agreement from 52.4% to 87.2%. A post‑hoc audit shows that macro‑F1 differences stem from changing label sets, and the benchmark’s generalization claims are limited by filing overlap and calculator‑target inconsistencies.

FinRCA-Bench: Benchmarking Evidence Retrieval and Reasoning for Financial AI Systems

FinRCA-Bench is a synthetic benchmark designed to evaluate evidence retrieval and reasoning in financial AI systems, specifically for accounts‑payable‑to‑bank reconciliation. It contains 2,250 cases across 14 operational tables, with 1,500 injected failures in 15 causal categories and 750 hard‑negative cases, and hides root‑cause labels and evidence contracts to isolate retrieval performance. Experiments show that retrieval architecture dramatically affects accuracy, with structured retrieval methods like Typed Provenance Graph Retrieval vastly improving macro‑recall and exact‑class accuracy compared to dense semantic retrieval or classical ML.

FinRCA-Bench: Benchmarking Evidence Retrieval and Reasoning for Financial AI Systems

FinRCA-Bench is a deterministic synthetic benchmark comprising 2,250 accounts‑payable‑to‑bank reconciliation cases that span 14 operational tables and include 1,500 injected failures across 15 causal categories. The benchmark hides root‑cause labels and record‑level evidence contracts from models, enabling independent evaluation of evidence retrieval versus reasoning accuracy. Experiments show that retrieval architecture dramatically influences performance, with retrieval improvements raising macro‑required‑record recall from 0.83% to 77.70% and exact 16‑class accuracy from 2.05% to 72.44%.

MEDIC: Comprehensive Evaluation of Leading Indicators for LLM Safety and Utility in Clinical Applications

arXiv:2409. 07314v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve superhuman performance on standardized medical licensing exams, these static benchmarks have become saturated and increasingly disconnected from the functional requirements of clinical workflows.

Knowledge or Calculator? Decomposing the Skill Premium in Verifiable Financial Agent Workflows

The paper introduces FinSkillBench, a benchmark of 2,603 financial AI agent episodes across portfolio construction, risk management, and fundamental analysis, evaluated with deterministic verifiers. Experiments on 9 models and 3 resource settings show that curated skill packages improve performance by +16.2 points, while in‑episode skill generation adds only +0.5 points. Decomposing the premium reveals that executable tools contribute +19.5 points, documentation +5.6 points, and their combination is subadditive, with the effect varying by workflow type.
