Model Description
Cal-BERT-SL1000 is a BERT-based sequence labeling model fine-tuned on the [HiFi-KPI dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AAU-NLP/HiFi-KPI) for extracting financial key performance indicators (KPIs) from SEC earnings filings (10-K & 10-Q). It specializes in identifying entities that are one level up the calculation taxonomy ($n=1$), such as revenueAbstract, earnings, and financial ratios, using token classification.
This model was introduced in the paper HiFi-KPI: A Dataset for Hierarchical KPI Extraction from Earnings Filings by Rasmus Aavang, Giovanni Rizzi, Rasmus Bøggild, Alexandre Iolov, Mike Zhang (@jjzha), and Johannes Bjerva.
Use Cases
- Extracting financial KPIs using iXBRL calculation taxonomy
- Financial document parsing with entity recognition
Performance
- Trained on 1,000 most frequent labels from the [HiFi-KPI dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/AAU-NLP/HiFi-KPI) with $n=1$ in the calculation taxonomy.
Dataset & Code
- Dataset: HiFi-KPI on Hugging Face
- Official Code: HiFi-KPI GitHub Repository

abstract = "Accurate tagging of earnings reports can yield significant short-term returns for stakeholders. The machine-readable inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language (iXBRL) is mandated for public financial filings. Yet, its complex, fine-grained taxonomy limits the cross-company transferability of tagged Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). To address this, we introduce the Hierarchical Financial Key Performance Indicator (HiFi-KPI) dataset, a large-scale corpus of 1.65M paragraphs and 198k unique, hierarchically organized labels linked to iXBRL taxonomies. HiFi-KPI supports multiple tasks and we evaluate three: KPI classification, KPI extraction, and structured KPI extraction. For rapid evaluation, we also release HiFi-KPI-Lite, a manually curated 2.5K-instance subset. Baselines on HiFi-KPI-Lite show that encoder-based models achieve over 0.906 macro-F1 on classification, while Large Language Models (LLMs) reach 0.440 F1 on structured extraction. Finally, a qualitative analysis reveals that extraction errors primarily relate to dates. We open-source all code and data at Anonymous."
