Dear colleagues,
We want to share one piece of news (ERAI shared task' English dataset is released) and remind the deadline of FinNLP-2022@EMNLP: https://sites.google.com/nlg.csie.ntu.edu.tw/finnlp-2022-emnlp/home
*(1) Evaluating the Rationales of Amateur Investors (ERAI) Shared Task*The goal of ERAI is to sort out the opinions that would lead to higher maximal potential profit (MPP) and lower maximal loss (ML). We focus on amateur investors' opinions, and pay attention to two settings: (1) Pairwise Comparison and (2) Unsupervised Ranking. The posts are written in Chinese, and *we also provide the translated version in English*. Thus, even if you are not familiar with Chinese, you can also join us. Registration Form: https://forms.gle/noHYdwxr1ymh36S58
*(2) FinNLP-2022 Main Track* We invite submissions of research papers on all topics related to NLP for Financial Technology (FinTech) applications. Besides, one of our goals of this workshop is to foster collaboration between researchers and developers from computational linguistics and finance and economic areas. Original studies reporting joint work are therefore especially encouraged. We offer USD$500 to the *Best Paper Award *winner. Submission *Deadline: Sep 7*, 2022 (https://softconf.com/emnlp2022/FinNLP/)
Looking forward to meeting you soon at FinNLP@EMNLP-2022.
Best Regards, FinNLP Organizers
FinNLP-2022: The 4th Workshop on Financial Technology and Natural Language Processing EMNLP @ Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre Abu Dhabi, UAE, December 8, 2022 Conference website https://sites.google.com/nlg.csie.ntu.edu.tw/finnlp-2022-emnlp/home Submission deadline September 7, 2022
*FinNLP has become a twice-a-year workshop since 2022.* In H1, it keeps in conjunction with IJCAI; in H2, it starts to colocated with EMNLP. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum where international participants share knowledge on applying NLP to the FinTech domain. Recently, analyzing documents related to finance and economics has attracted much attention in the AI community. In the financial field, FinTech is a new industry that focuses on improving financial activity with technology. Thus, in order to bridge the gap between the NLP research and the financial applications, we organize FinNLP workshop series. One of the expected accomplishments of FinNLP is to introduce insights from the financial domain to the NLP community. With the sharing of the researchers in FinNLP, the challenging problems of blending FinTech and NLP will be identified, and the future research direction will be shaped. That can broaden the scope of this interdisciplinary research area. Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
-
*Long Paper:* May consist of up to 8 pages of content, plus unlimited pages for references and appendix. -
*Short Paper and Demo Paper: *May consist of up to 4 pages of content, plus unlimited references and appendix.
