Towards a Knowledge Base of Financial Relations: Overview and Project Description

In this paper, we present an overview of the existing knowledge bases of financial relations and a description of our ongoing research towards building one based on unstructured data. First, we aim to create a specialized ontology of financial relations which will allow to model information related to regulatory compliance monitoring tasks. Next, we plan to harness Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods to extract financial relations from text sources such as news, press releases, etc. and to organize the derived information according to our crafted ontology. In addition to an overview of the literature in these areas, we describe our vision of an automated knowledge system for the experts of financial domains.
