Augmenting Fundamental Analysis with Large Language Models: A RAG-Based System for Generating Investor Briefs

Bartosz Ziółko, Kacper Dobrzeniewski

In this study, we examine the opportunities brought by Large Language Models (LLMs) to various aspects of fundamental analysis of companies based on their reports as well as data and documents describing macroeconomic situation like GDP and inflation changes as well as documents filled to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which can be found in EDGAR. We were preprocessing those data and than sending via API to gpt-4o model in a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) like regime. We prepared as well a document describing an exemplar investor knowledge based on Kitchin cycles. We were scanning data important for analysis of 9 companies for 4 weeks. Using LLM we were producing automatic briefs about them. They were sent to nine participants who are individual investors to evaluate usefulness of such approach to data analysis.

From Isolated Tasks to Structured Capabilities: A Multilayer Taxonomy for Large Language Models

Shixin Fang, Jiachen Wo, Wenjuan Qin, Sihang Jiang, Yanghua Xiao

Large language model (LLM) evaluation spans diverse tasks and benchmarks, yet evidence remains organized around tasks rather than the capabilities they probe. This fragmentation limits cross-study comparison, obscures capabilities tasks recruit, and makes coverage gaps difficult…

Agentic coding without the cloud: evaluating open-weight large language models on longitudinal data preparation tasks

Mack Nixon, Liam Wright, Yevgeniya Kovalchuk, Alison Fang-Wei Wu, Martin Danka, Andy Boyd, et al.

Large language models (LLMs) and agents are now widely used tools in code development, with data typically sent to third-party cloud-based models. Their adoption in research using personal data is constrained by governance requirements that typically prohibit data transmission to…

Artificial Epanorthosis: Why large language models overuse a classical rhetorical figure, and how to mitigate it

Federico Boggia

A rhetorical figure that Cicero and Quintilian catalogued two thousand years ago reappears, systematically, in the text of large language models: epanorthosis, the self-correction of the specimen «This is not a course. It is a journey of transformation». This essay argues that th…

Why Large Language Models and Humans Converge and Diverge in Evaluating Creativity

Pengzhao Lyu, Yeun Joon Kim, Hanlin Xiao, Yingyue Luna Luan

Despite the growing use of large language models (LLMs) as creativity evaluators, evidence of their alignment with human evaluations remains mixed, raising the question of when and why their judgments converge with or diverge from human judgments. Across three studies and six wid…

Training Large Language Models for Self-Explanation Faithfulness

Yeoktatt Cheah, María Pérez-Ortiz, Noah Y. Siegel, Oana-Maria Camburu

We propose a Reinforcement Learning (RL) method to directly optimize the faithfulness of self-explanations - the extent to which a model's generated reasoning accurately reflects its internal decision-making process. While existing work focuses on evaluating faithfulness or using…

FriendBench: Benchmarking Dyadic Familiarity Inference in Humans and Multimodal Large Language Models

Jeffrey M. Girard, Jason Z. Zheng, Jacqueline R. Vertino, Antony D'Avirro, Benjamin Peloquin

Reading a social situation often depends on behavior, not words alone. We introduce FriendBench, a benchmark for inferring whether two people are already familiar or are meeting as strangers, from a 20-second clip of a dyadic ice-breaker conversation. Every pair answers the same…
