Research - Financial Services Innovation Lab @ Georgia Tech

  • Co-authoring the paper Zero is Not Hero Yet: Benchmarking Zero-Shot Performance of LLMs for Financial Tasks as an undergraduate research intern under the mentorship of Ph.D. candidate Agam Shah and Dr. Sudheer Chava.

  • Building SuperFLUE: the financial equivalent of SuperGLUE. SuperFLUE is an amalgamation of 13 datasets in the financial domain. It includes various tasks such as Multi-Label Classification, Named Entity Recognition, Summarization, and Question Answering.

  • Utilizing zero-shot prompting and few-shot learning to compare the performance of LLMs like GPT-4, Gemma Instruct 7B, Llama-2-70B and fine-tuned Pre-trained Language models like T5, RoBERTa, and Longformer Encoder Decoder.

  • Leveraging Retrieval Augmented Generation and frameworks such as LangChain for summarizing financial documents.

  • Employing remote development servers, virtual machines, and cloud-based infrastructure to efficiently execute data cleaning, preprocessing, and fine-tuning tasks on substantial datasets comprising approximately 300,000 data points.

SubjECTive-QA | August 2023 - Present

  • Leading a comprehensive project involving the creation of a novel Dataset in the financial domain using 150+ Earnings Call Transcripts and approximately 20,000 data points extracted from the Q&A sessions during Earnings Calls of firms.

  • Using Python libraries like Selenium, Beautiful Soup, and SpaCy for data scraping, cleaning, and pre-processing.

  • Utilizing Krippendorff’s Alpha and Fleiss’ Kappa to measure Inter-Annotator Agreement. Benchmarking baseline models BERT, FinBERT, RoBERTa, FLANG-BERT on our dataset and creating our model for tone analysis.
