Abstract

We participate in the FNS-2021 Shared Task: “Financial Narrative Summarisation” organized by at 3rd Financial Narrative Processing Workshop (FNP-2021). We build an unsupervised extractive automatic financial summarisation system for the specific task. In our approach to the FNS-2021 shared task, the documents are first analyzed and an intermediate bespoke document set created containing the most salient sections of the reports. Next, vector representations are created for the intermediate document set based on SentenceBERT. Finally, the vectors are then clustered and sentences from each cluster are chosen for the final generated report summaries. The achieved results support the proposed method’s effectiveness.
