• Abstract summary: We introduce CR-COPEC called Causal Rationale of Corporate Performance Changes from financial reports. This is a comprehensive large-scale domain-adaptation causal sentence dataset to detect financial performance changes of corporate. CR-COPEC contributes to two major achievements. First, it detects causal rationale from 10-K annual reports of the U.S. companies, which contain experts' causal analysis following accounting standards in a formal manner. Second, it carefully considers different characteristics which affect the financial performance of companies in twelve industries.

• Abstract: In this paper, we introduce CR-COPEC called Causal Rationale of Corporate Performance Changes from financial reports. This is a comprehensive large-scale domain-adaptation causal sentence dataset to detect financial performance changes of corporate. CR-COPEC contributes to two major achievements. First, it detects causal rationale from 10-K annual reports of the U.S. companies, which contain experts' causal analysis following accounting standards in a formal manner. This dataset can be widely used by both individual investors and analysts as material information resources for investing and decision making without tremendous effort to read through all the documents. Second, it carefully considers different characteristics which affect the financial performance of companies in twelve industries. As a result, CR-COPEC can distinguish causal sentences in various industries by taking unique narratives in each industry into consideration. We also provide an extensive analysis of how well CR-COPEC dataset is constructed and suited for classifying target sentences as causal ones with respect to industry characteristics. Our dataset and experimental codes are publicly available.

  We introduce a framework for understanding, modeling, and possibly solving issues of fairness in decision-making settings. The main insight of our approach will be to link the quantification of the disparities present on the observed data with the underlying, and often unobserved, collection of causal mechanisms. Our effort culminates in the Fairness Map, which is the first systematic attempt to organize and explain the relationship between different criteria found in the literature.

  Business sentiment has been measured by traditional surveys, which are costly and time-consuming to conduct. We take advantage of daily newspaper articles and adopt a self-attention-based model to define a business sentiment index, named S-APIR. To illustrate how S-APIR could benefit economists and policymakers, several events are analyzed with respect to their impacts on business sentiment over time.

  Causal inference is the process of capturing cause-effect relationship among variables. We propose a novel Graph-based Causal Inference framework, which builds causal graphs from fact descriptions without much human involvement. We observe that the causal knowledge contained in GCI can be effectively injected into powerful neural networks for better performance and interpretability.
