Introduction

📈 CFGPT: Chinese Financial Assistant with Large Language Model

Introduction

We introduce CFGPT, an open-source language model trained by firstly further pretraining general LLMs on collected and cleaned Chinese finance text data (CFData-pt), including financial domain-specific data (announcement, finance articles, finance exams, finance news, finance research papers) and general data (Wikipedia), and secondly fine-tuning with knowledge-intensive instruction tuning data (CFData-sft). As for preliminary evaluation, we use CFBenchmark-Basic. CFGPT outperforms the baselines on objective and subjective tasks compared to several baseline models with similar parameters.

We develop CFGPT2 (7B&20B) based on InternLM, which also integrates modules for retrieval enhancement, fact verification, compliance checking, and risk monitoring. While enhancing the real-time performance and accuracy of financial large model services, it effectively monitors and controls financial risks.
- CFGPT2-7B: Further pretraining and supervised fine-tuning InternLM2 on our dataset and outperforms the baselines on several financial task.
We release CFGPT1 (7B) in three parts:
- Pretrained Model: Full model weights after further pretraining with the chinese finance text corpus to comply with the InternLM model license.
- Supervised Finetuned Model (Lora): Adapter model weights trained by PEFT (LoRA).
- Supervised Finetuned Model (Full): Full model trained weights based on the pretrained model.
We release the CFBenchmark, a Chinese financial assistant benhmark for large language model. The basic version of CFBenchmark includes 3917 financial texts spanning three aspects and eight tasks, for the evaluation of the financial text processing capability of LLMs in Chinese financial market.
We release the code of further pretrain and instruction tuning of CFGPT.
We further provide several samples about our CFData-sft.

The following is the overview of training CFGPT:

Quick Start

1. Prepare the code and the environment

Clone our repository, create a Python environment, and activate it via the following command

git clone https://github.com/TongjiFinLab/CFGPT.git
cd CFGPT
conda create -n env_name python=3.10   
source activate env_name 
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Prepare the pretrained CFGPT1

The CFGPT1 consists of three parts: a pretrain model, continued pretraining InternLM-7B on our CFData-pt, an adapter model (trained via PEFT on our CFData-sft), and a Full-finetuned model trained base on the pretrain model.

Pretrain model	Adapter model	Full SFT Model
CFGPT1-pt-7B	CFGPT1-sft-7B-lora	CFGPT1-sft-7B-full

3. Use CFGPT1-sft-7B-LoRA

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel
base_model = 'TongjiFinLab/CFGPT1-pt-7B'
lora_weights = 'TongjiFinLab/CFGPT1-sft-7B-LoRA'
device_map = 'cuda:0'
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(base_model, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    base_model,
    trust_remote_code=True,
    device_map=device_map,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(
    model,
    lora_weights,
    device_map=device_map,
)
model = model.eval()
inputs = tokenizer("""你是一名金融从业者，请对这篇新闻进行情感分析。请从（中性、积极、消极）中选取答案。新闻内容：挖贝快讯：特步国际发布2023年第二季度中国内地业务营运状况，披露截至2023年6月30日止3个月零售销售实现高双位数同比增长(包括线上线下渠道)，零售折扣水平约七五折。同时，2022年7月MSCI首次予以特步ESG评级，一年后评级表现即迎来提升。明晟MSCI上调特步ESG评级，由“BB”升至“BBB”。\n回答：""", return_tensors='pt').to(device_map)
pred = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=64, do_sample=False, repetition_penalty=1.0)
print(tokenizer.decode(pred.cpu()[0], skip_special_tokens=True).split('回答：')[1])

4. Use CFGPT1-sft-7B-Full

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
base_model = 'TongjiFinLab/CFGPT1-sft-7B-Full'
device_map = 'cuda:0'
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(base_model, trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
    base_model,
    trust_remote_code=True,
    device_map=device_map,
    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)
model = model.eval()

User Cases

Data

In this repo, we share the samples of CFData:

CFData: ./data

The CFData comprising both a pre-training dataset and a supervised fine-tuning dataset, where the pre-training dataset collates Chinese financial data and analytics, alongside a smaller subset of general-purpose text with 584M documents and 141B tokens in total, and the supervised finetuning dataset is tailored for six distinct financial tasks, embodying various facets of financial analysis and decisionmaking with 1.5M instruction pairs and 1.5B tokens in total.

Further pretrain

The pre-training dataset consists of 591 million documents and 193 billion tokens, including six sub-datasets

CFData-CP (6.24%): 39 thousand corporate prospectus with 13 billion tokens;
CFData-CA (12.28%): 6 million corporate announcements with 17 billion tokens;
CFData-RR (2.51% ): 392 thousand research reports with 3 billion tokens;
CFData-FN (18.70%): 82 million financial news with 26 billion tokens;
CFData-SM (60.15%): 495 million social medias and 84 billion tokens;
CFData-Wiki (0.09%): 255 thousand Wikipedia content with 137 million tokens.

We sample a financial text sub-corpus from CFData-pt for further pretraining on InternLM-7B consists of 13.7 billion tokens from a large amount of Chinese financial data and analytics and a small amount of general-purpose text, such as announcements, research reports, social media content, financial news articles, and Wikipedia. And they were mainly collected by ourselves.

Supervised Finetuning

The supervised fine-tuning dataset consist 1.6 million instructions pairs and 1.5 billion tokens, including six financial tasks:

CFData-SA (5.69% ): 120 thousand instances with 86 million tokens for sentiment analysis;
CFData-RS (50.60%): 369 thousand instances and 765 million tokens for report summary;
CFData-ED (22.69% ): 490 thousand instances with 343 million tokens for event detection;
CFData-TD (12.37%): 369 thousand instances and 187 million tokens for topic decomposition;
CFData-QA (0.39%): 12 thousand instances and 6 million tokens for question-answering;
CFData-SP (8.27%): 212 thousand instances and 125 million tokens for stock moving prediction.

We employ high-quality domain specific data to achieve finance domain adaptation during supervised finetuing. The dataset includes six financial datasets to reflect different aspects of financial analysis and decision-making, which include sentiment analysis, event detection, report summarization, topic decomposition, question answering, and stock movement prediction. CFData-sft provides much text information in the financial domain, allowing a FinLLM to learn from different of sources. Considering requirement in reality, we reform these financial supervised finetuning dataset into ten tasks.

The details are as follows:

Task	Task Description	Dataset	Size
Sentiment	Identify the sentiment associated with financial document	CFData-SA	13K
Summary	Generate a content summary based on the provided financial document	CFData-RS	18K
Risk	Generate risk alerts based on the provided financial document	CFData-RS	20K
Suggestion	Generate investment recommendations based on the provided financial document	CFData-RS	18K
Event	Identify the event categories associated with financial document	CFData-ED	12K
Industry	Identify the industry categories associated with financial document	CFData-ED	14K
Company	Identify the company names associated with financial document	CFData-ED	12K
Product	Identify the product names associated with financial document	CFData-ED	21K
Exam	Answer true-false questions related to finance question	CFData-QA	16K
Stock	Predict stocks future movement	CFData-SP	15K
