Uncertainty Quantification for Financial Foundation Models: A Survey

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The survey reviews uncertainty quantification in financial foundation models, noting that uncertainty arises at multiple stages of financial workflows—from evidence and context to model inference and outcome/action. It introduces a source‑aware framework that categorizes six uncertainty sources and a mechanism‑based taxonomy for how methods construct or verify uncertainty representations. The authors map existing finance‑specific studies onto this taxonomy, finding that most research focuses on isolated workflow components and that few studies link evidence reliability to downstream predictions and constrained actions.

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.

Beyond LLM Wrappers: Context Engineering and the Three-Engine Architecture for Reliable Financial AI

The paper proposes a three‑engine architecture for reliable financial AI, combining a financial knowledge graph, a deterministic optimization engine, and a multi‑agent LLM layer. A coordination layer called context engineering selects and validates query‑specific context from ERP systems and other tools. Observations from 15 deployments show that multi‑agent validation reduces hallucination rates to below 1%, while reusable mappings and templates cut deployment time from six to two weeks.

Beyond LLM Wrappers: Context Engineering and the Three-Engine Architecture for Reliable Financial AI

The paper proposes a three‑engine architecture for reliable financial AI, combining a financial knowledge graph, a deterministic optimization engine, and a multi‑agent LLM layer. A coordination layer called context engineering selects and validates context from ERP systems, tools, and tenants to ensure numerical accuracy, traceability, and auditability. Observations from 15 deployments show that graph‑backed multi‑agent validation can reduce hallucination rates from 7‑9% to below 1%, while reusable mappings and validation policies cut deployment time from six to two weeks.
