We are in Sorrento for the 5th Financial Narrative Processing Workshop (FNP 2023) at the IEEE BigData 2023 conference 🇮🇹 @CfieProject

10 years ago I joined @LancasterUni as an RA on the @CfieProject. Today I’m thrilled to announce my promotion to Senior Lecturer in NLP. I’m also honored to take on the role of Co-Director of the @UCREL_NLP Group and the Strategic Lead of Arabic & Financial NLP at @SCC_Lancaster

So our FNP 2023 proposal got rejected by ACL @aclmeeting where we got 2 for organisers’ experience claiming we are not diverse geographically! We proposed a committee that is very ethnically diverse, has a female majority and comes from 11 countries across 4 continents! 🤷🏻‍♂️

We're hiring! Come and work with us at Lancaster University’s UCREL NLP group. The RA, supervised by myself and Kim Trottier, will be working as part of a multidisciplinary team from Lancaster and HEC Montreal Universities, working on our CARE project bit.ly/3QNpgac

Edited in Madrid & delivered in Marseille! Happy to receive a copy of our book on Financial Narrative Processing in Spanish. One of many @CfieProject’s cross countries-&-languages collaborations; spanning from the Middle East & as far as Vancouver, Canada dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/…

Paper 6: Financial Narrative Summarisation Using a Hybrid TF-IDF and Clustering Summariser: AO-Lancs System at FNS 2022 @CfieProject Authors: Andrew Ogden & @DocElhaj. Andrew's 1st paper where he participated with his UG project to compete against SOTA summarisation models 👏

Paper 9: "The Financial Causality Extraction Shared Task (FinCausal 2022)" @CfieProject . Teaming up with @yseopAI, @HEC_Montreal & @SCC_Lancaster to create series of shared tasks on causality detection in French & Canadian financial documents. More 👉wp.lancs.ac.uk/cfie/fincausa…

Paper 8: "The Financial Document Structure Extraction Shared Task (FinTOC 2022)" @CfieProject A collaborating with @Fortia_ai, @UAM_Madrid & @SCC_Lancaster to create the 1st English, French & Spanish document structure extraction shared task! More 👉wp.lancs.ac.uk/cfie/fintoc20…

👉@UCREL_NLP & @SCC_Lancaster are attending @lrec2022 with excess baggage of 9 papers as well as organising the 4th FNP workshop @CfieProject. If attending LREC in person, come & find us we’d love to chat & catch up, it’s been 4 years since the last f2f LREC – feeling old yet?😊

FNP 2021 proceedings are now on ACL Anthology aclanthology.org/volumes/202… you can also find our previous proceedings on our FNP Workshop Series page as well: aclanthology.org/venues/fnp/. A big thank you to all submitting authors & the reviewers for the valuable feedback @perayson

We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the success of our FNP2021 workshop. This year our speakers & attendees came from 87 cities from all around the world. Thanks & look forward to seeing you again in future events 😊 @dsilancaster @UCREL_NLP wp.lancs.ac.uk/cfie/fnp2021/ – at North West, England
