Term-Driven Forward-Looking Claim Synthesis in Earnings Calls

Abstract

Argument synthesis aims to generate rational claims, representing a fundamental objective in this field. While existing models excel in summarizing arguments and engaging in debates, we observe a critical gap in their ability to generate accurate arguments that incorporate forward-looking perspectives. In light of this observation, this paper introduces a novel task called “forward-looking claim planning.” We delve into this task by exploring the efficacy of well-performing classification and generation models. Furthermore, we propose several customized preprocessing methods that yield substantial performance improvements. Through comprehensive discussion and analysis, we also outline a future research agenda for the forward-looking claim planning task.
