Automated prediction of valence, one key feature of a person's emotional state, from individuals' personal narratives may provide crucial information for mental healthcare (e.g. early diagnosis of mental diseases, supervision of disease course, etc.). In the Interspeech 2018 ComParE Self-Assessed Affect challenge, the …

result 97.13% accuracy in identifying SLI from transcripts.

Narrative disclosures in 10-K filings improve bankruptcy prediction beyond accounting ratios.

problem Traditional bankruptcy prediction models rely on accounting ratios, which may not capture early warning signals.
method Developed a PB Stress Score based on distress-specific language in 10-K narratives, evaluated against accounting and dictionary benchmarks.
result Adding the PB Stress Score increases AUC from 0.8323 to 0.9019 and improves top-decile bankruptcy capture from 44.12% to 64.71%.

LLMs can help explain credit risk models but not autonomously.

problem Leveraging LLMs for post-hoc explainability in credit risk models.
method Comparison of LLM outputs with SHAP and coefficient-based attributions on three LMs.
result LLMs reliably preserve feature-importance rankings but poorly align with autonomous explanations.

Attention mechanisms in deep neural networks have achieved excellent performance on sequence-prediction tasks. Here, we show that these recently-proposed attention-based mechanisms---in particular, the Transformer with its parallelizable self-attention layers, and the Memory Fusion Network with attention across modalit…

Paper develops a method for valid inference using language model predictions from verbal autopsy narratives.

problem Valid inference from verbal autopsy narratives for public health decision-making.
method Develops multiPPI++ method for valid inference using NLP techniques for COD prediction.
result Demonstrates the effectiveness of multiPPI++ in handling transportability issues and recovering ground truth estimates.

We present a new recurrent neural network topology to enhance state-of-the-art machine learning systems by incorporating a broader context. Our approach overcomes recent limitations with extended narratives through a multi-layered computational approach to generate an abstract context representation. Therefore, the dev…

LLMs outperform human analysts in predicting earnings direction.

problem Evaluating financial statements without narrative or industry-specific information.
method Trained GPT4 on standardized, anonymous financial statements and instructed to predict earnings direction.
result LLMs predict earnings directionally with accuracy comparable to narrowly trained ML models.

Unified model integrates text and time series for financial forecasting.

problem Challenges in integrating complementary modalities for improved forecasting.
method Modality-specific experts and cross-modal alignment framework.
result State-of-the-art performance on financial forecasting task.

The goal of this document is to provide a pedagogical introduction to the main concepts underpinning the training of deep neural networks using gradient descent; a process known as backpropagation. Although we focus on a very influential class of architectures called "convolutional neural networks" (CNNs) the approach …

Framework improves clinical timeline reconstruction from text and tables.

problem Temporal precision and event timing in clinical narratives and EHRs.
method Retrieval-augmented multimodal alignment framework.
result Consistently improves absolute timestamp accuracy and temporal concordance.

We model anomaly and change in data by embedding the data in an ultrametric space. Taking our initial data as cross-tabulation counts (or other input data formats), Correspondence Analysis allows us to endow the information space with a Euclidean metric. We then model anomaly or change by an induced ultrametric. The in…
