• Abstract summary: Finance-related news such as Bloomberg News, CNN Business and Forbes are valuable sources of real data for market screening systems. We propose a novel system to detect the temporality of finance-related news at discourse level. We have tested our system on a labelled dataset of finance-related news annotated by researchers with knowledge in the field.

• Abstract: Finance-related news such as Bloomberg News, CNN Business and Forbes are valuable sources of real data for market screening systems. In news, an expert shares opinions beyond plain technical analyses that include context such as political, sociological and cultural factors. In the same text, the expert often discusses the performance of different assets. Some key statements are mere descriptions of past events while others are predictions. Therefore, understanding the temporality of the key statements in a text is essential to separate context information from valuable predictions. We propose a novel system to detect the temporality of finance-related news at discourse level that combines Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning techniques, and exploits sophisticated features such as syntactic and semantic dependencies. More specifically, we seek to extract the dominant tenses of the main statements, which may be either explicit or implicit. We have tested our system on a labelled dataset of finance-related news annotated by researchers with knowledge in the field. Experimental results reveal a high detection precision compared to an alternative rule-based baseline approach. Ultimately, this research contributes to the state-of-the-art of market screening by identifying predictive knowledge for financial decision making.

  "Context is Key" (CiK) is a time series forecasting benchmark that pairs numerical data with diverse types of carefully crafted textual context. We evaluate a range of approaches, including statistical models, time series foundation models, and LLM-based forecasters. Our experiments highlight the importance of incorporating contextual information, demonstrate surprising performance when using LLM-based forecasting models, and also reveal some of their critical shortcomings.

  We propose a novel Targeted Aspect-Based Emotion Analysis (TABEA) system that can individually discern the financial emotions (positive and negative forecasts) on the different stock market assets in the same tweet. It is based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques and Machine Learning streaming algorithms. It achieves over 90% precision for the target emotions, financial opportunity, and precaution on Twitter.

  A text entails a hypothesis if and only if the true value of the hypothesis follows the text. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to identifying the textual entailment relationship between text and hypothesis. We employ an element-wise Manhattan distance vector-based feature that can identify the semantic entailment relationship between the text-hypothesis pair.
