• Title: DSC-IITISM at FinCausal 2021: Combining POS tagging with Attention-based Contextual Representations for Identifying Causal Relationships in Financial Documents
• Authors: Gunjan Haldar, Aman Mittal and Pradyumna Gupta
• Abstract summary: Causality detection has applications in information retrieval, event prediction, question answering, financial analysis, and market research. In this study, we explore several methods to identify and extract cause-effect pairs in financial documents using transformers. Our best methodology achieves an F1-Score of 0.9551, and an Exact Match Score of 0.8777 on the blind test.

• Abstract: Causality detection draws plenty of attention in the field of Natural Language Processing and linguistics research. It has essential applications in information retrieval, event prediction, question answering, financial analysis, and market research. In this study, we explore several methods to identify and extract cause-effect pairs in financial documents using transformers. For this purpose, we propose an approach that combines POS tagging with the BIO scheme, which can be integrated with modern transformer models to address this challenge of identifying causality in a given text. Our best methodology achieves an F1-Score of 0.9551, and an Exact Match Score of 0.8777 on the blind test in the FinCausal-2021 Shared Task at the FinCausal 2021 Workshop.

  The competition opened on 30th December, 2022 and closed on 24th March, 2023. There are 35 participants and 91 valid submissions received for Track 1, and 15 participants and 26 valid submissions received for Track 2. According to the performance of the submissions, we believe there is still a large gap on the expected information extraction performance for complex and zero-shot scenarios.

  We formulate the FinNER task as a machine reading comprehension (MRC) problem and propose a new model termed FinBERT-MRC. This formulation introduces significant prior information by utilizing well-designed queries, and extracts start index and end index of target entities. We conduct experiments on a publicly available Chinese financial dataset ChFinAnn and a real-word dataset AdminPunish.

  We present models for effective Ambiguity Detection and Coreference Resolution in Conversational AI. Specifically, we use TOD-BERT and LXMERT based models, compare them to a number of baselines and provide ablation experiments. Our results show that (1) language models are able to exploit correlations in the data to detect ambiguity; and (2) unimodal coreference resolution models can avoid the need for a vision component.
