• Language modeling on financial corpora including tabular and numerical data, and multi-modal modeling; large language models (LLMs) and applications for finance

• Graph representation learning, mining learning on graph structures from financial data

• Multi-source knowledge integration and fusion, and knowledge alignment and integration from heterogeneous data

• Synthetic or genuine financial datasets and benchmarks for baseline models

• Transfer learning applications for financial data, knowledge distillation as a method for compression of pre-trained models or adaptation to financial datasets

• Search and question answering systems designed for financial corpora

• Event discovery from alternative data and impact on organization equity price

• Environmental, social, governance (ESG) event discovery, evaluation, and impact assessment

• Historical and contemporary perspectives on scenario planning
