Introduction

The joint workshop of FinNLP, FNP, and LLMFinLegal aims to explore the intersection of Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and Large Language Models (LLMs) within the financial and legal domains. By merging the expertise and focus areas of these three workshops, we intend to foster interdisciplinary research and innovation, addressing the multifaceted challenges inherent in these fields.

Since its inception in 2019, FinNLP has been a pivotal workshop dedicated to applying NLP to financial technology. By collocating with major conferences like IJCAI, EMNLP, IJCNLP-AACL, and LREC-COLING, FinNLP has successfully bridged the AI and NLP communities, with proceedings accessible on the ACL Anthology. The workshop has expanded its reach through collaborations with representative teams from the University of Tokyo (2023) and J.P. Morgan AI Research (2024). Established in 2018, the Financial Narrative Processing (FNP) workshop has become the other cornerstone event in Financial NLP. FNP highlights the automatic extraction, summarization, and analysis of qualitative and quantitative financial data. Recent editions have been hosted at notable conferences like IEEE-BigData and LREC, with sponsorship from ELRA and industry partners like Yseop and Fortia. Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly advanced the fields of finance and law by enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of predictive models. The 1st LLMFinLegal workshop aims to leverage LLMs to address complex interdisciplinary challenges in financial regulation, auditing, compliance monitoring, fraud detection, and risk management. LLMFinLegal plans to focus on bridging these gaps by exploring cross-disciplinary methodologies, ethical implications, hallucination mitigation, privacy concerns, interpretability, and responsible AI practices in finance and law.

By bringing together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts from both finance and law, this joint workshop aims to facilitate discussions on the current state and future directions of NLP and LLM applications, driving the development of comprehensive frameworks that address the intricate challenges of these fields.
