Noise-Robust Financial Numerical Entity Attribute Tagging

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces NORA, a noise‑robust tagging system for Financial Numerical Entity (FNE) attributes, addressing errors in XBRL‑derived labels and under‑emphasized attributes such as reporting‑time relation, measurement scale, and accounting sign. NORA employs task‑aware instance‑specific weighting to reduce the impact of noisy labels during training and proposes an evaluation protocol that filters noisy labels in real‑world test sets. A large benchmark of 11.4 million FNEs across 6.3 million sentences is constructed, and experiments show NORA outperforms prior models in mean Accuracy and Macro F1, especially for time‑relation prediction.

Reliable Financial Named Entity Recognition under Domain Shift

arXiv:2608. 19558v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Financial AI systems often train information extractors on one textual register and deploy them across filings, news, and user-generated content, while standard F1 scores do not indicate which predictions remain safe to automate when the input distribution changes.

Reliable Financial Named Entity Recognition Under Domain Shift: Confidence Estimation and Selective Prediction

The paper investigates confidence estimation and selective prediction for financial named entity recognition (NER) under domain shift, using a stress test across SEC filings, financial news, and social media. It evaluates BERT and LoRA‑tuned Qwen2.5 models with five inference‑time confidence signals, finding that whole‑output probability is a strong in‑domain error detector but weak out‑of‑domain, while entity‑span probability and self‑consistency remain robust. Abstention can dramatically reduce sentence error on high‑confidence in‑domain data, but offers limited benefit under extreme social‑media shift, suggesting a staged deployment that first detects severe distribution shift before applying confidence gating.
