arXiv:2606. 18192v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As high-quality public web corpora become increasingly exhausted, clean long-context documents have become a scarce and expensive source of training data for large language models (LLMs).

FinRAG-QA is a new benchmark dataset for financial question answering, featuring 999 practitioner-curated questions on 10 standardised indicators drawn from 209 annual and Pillar 3 reports of 24 major European and U.S. banks between 2019 and 2023. The dataset focuses on cross‑institutional retrieval over documents averaging 198k words, making it longer than any existing financial QA resource. Experiments on a multi‑stage Retrieval‑Augmented Generation pipeline show that contextual chunk enrichment and a retrieval‑optimised embedding model significantly improve NDCG@10, while a reasoning‑optimised generator boosts answer accuracy from 44.6% to 79.0% when the correct document is retrieved.

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.
