EasyChair Preprint 8840

Abstract

In this fast-moving world, it is difficult for investors to read lengthy annual reports of organizations. However, they need to make investment-related decisions relying on facts present in these documents. We participated in the third edition of the Financial Narrative Summarization (2020) shared task. It consisted of summarizing financial documents in three languages: English, Spanish, and Greek. In this paper, we describe the approaches followed by our team, LIPI. Among all the participants, we performed the best for the English sub-task in terms of ROUGE scores.

Keyphrases: Financial texts, Natural Language Processing, Text Summarization
