Should you rely on this paper?

This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.

Use this as background context only. Do not make protocol decisions from this page alone.

Best use

Use if you need

A secondary eval reference to pair with stronger protocol papers.

What to verify

Validate the evaluation procedure and quality controls in the full paper before operational use.

Main weakness

This paper looks adjacent to evaluation work, but not like a strong protocol reference.

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 8K paragraph 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 https://github.com/aaunlp/HiFi-KPI.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
