用细粒度分类法从8-K文件中精准提取事件,提升市场信息可读性。
Grounded Event Extraction from SEC 8-K Filings with a Fine-Grained Taxonomy
- 两阶段系统:先匹配标签,再用原文验证并评分。
- 产出60万条带原文锚点的事件标签,精度随评分从12%升至96%。
- 适合金融数据分析、合规监控与事件研究者使用。
8-K文件是美国上市公司披露重要事件的主要渠道,但其附带的证监会项目代码过于粗略:一个项目涵盖从日常行政变更到高管离职等不同事件,许多影响市场的披露被归入通用类别。大语言模型使大规模细粒度标注成为可能,但前提是标签必须可追溯至原文且可靠。我们提出一个两阶段系统,将8-K披露标注为包含119种事件类型的三层分类体系。第一阶段将输出限制在有效分类项内,并通过模糊n-gram验证将每个标签锚定到原文引用;第二阶段根据类别定义重新评估每条引用,生成质量评分。该系统应用于2022至2026年共292,984份文件,产生601,088条有依据的事件标签,已公开发布。基于5,125个分层标签的评估显示,随着质量评分提升,LLM裁判判断的精确率从12%单调上升至96%,无依据标签比例从8%降至接近零。消融实验表明,仅在第二阶段单独评分时,分数才具有校准性。对未标记异常收益的事后事件研究证实,该分类体系能在不依赖语言模型的情况下,区分共享同一项目代码却经济含义不同的事件。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Form 8-K filings are the primary channel through which U.S. public companies disclose material events, but the SEC item codes attached to them are coarse: a single item spans routine administrative changes and chief executive departures, and many of the most market-moving disclosures fall into a catch-all item. Large language models make fine-grained labelling feasible at corpus scale, but only if the labels can be traced to the source text and shown to be reliable. We present a two-stage system that tags 8-K disclosures against a three-tier taxonomy of 119 event types. The first stage constrains output to valid taxonomy entries and anchors every tag to a verbatim quote via fuzzy n-gram validation; the second re-grades each cited quote against the category definition to produce a quality score. Applying the system to 292,984 filings from 2022 to 2026 yields 601,088 grounded event tags, which we release. Over 5,125 stratified tags, an LLM judge finds precision rises monotonically with the quality score, from 12% to 96%, while unsupported tags fall from 8% to near zero. Ablation shows the score is calibrated only when assigned in a dedicated second pass. An event study on unsigned abnormal returns confirms, without any language model, that the taxonomy separates economically distinct events sharing an item code.
