In conjunction with LREC 2026, Palma de Mallorca, Spain
One-day hybrid event
We are delighted to announce the 7th Financial Narrative Processing
Workshop (FNP 2026), an international event dedicated to the
intersection of Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning
(ML), and Financial/Accounting data.
This year, FNP 2026 will be held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, within
the framework of LREC 2026. The workshop will run as a one-day hybrid
event, allowing for both on-site interaction and online presentation
options for authors unable to travel. FNP 2026 marks our 11th
international event in Financial NLP and the 7th dedicated FNP
workshop. Our community has consistently bridged the gap between
computational linguists, data scientists, economists, and accounting
scholars. Previous editions have demonstrated strong scholarly impact,
with proceedings indexed in the ACL Anthology and IEEE Xplore, and
over 100 shared task papers published.
Invited speaker: Dr Pablo Haya
Head of Business and Language Analytics (BLA)
IIC – Universidad Autónoma de Madrid
Call for Papers (main track):
We invite submissions of original, unpublished research in Financial
NLP and Financial Text Analysis. We welcome work covering theoretical
insights, methodological innovations, datasets, resources, applied
systems, and reflections on practical challenges. Negative results are
also welcome.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Core technologies for financial narratives: morphological analysis,
tokenisation, disambiguation, part-of-speech tagging, named entity
recognition, chunking, parsing, semantic role labelling, sentiment
analysis, document quality, and advanced readability metrics.
- Ethics, diversity, and wellbeing: using NLP to detect misreporting
and biases in financial narratives relating to gender, ethnicity,
representation of women at work, employee wellbeing, mental health,
and organisational stability.
- Resources and tools: financial dictionaries, annotated corpora,
benchmarks, software, and novel methodologies.
- Summarisation in financial contexts: single- and multi-document
summarisation, headline generation, evaluation of summaries, and
cross-domain or cross-lingual summarisation (e.g., company blogs,
market briefs, product reviews).
- Social media and financial discourse: analysing online platforms to
capture public opinion and sentiment around financial events.
- Multilingual and cross-regulatory perspectives: exploring financial
narratives across languages, dialects, and varying international
regulatory regimes.
- Ongoing and preliminary research: work-in-progress studies with
promising early findings.
- Negative results: experiments showing where methods (including
state-of-the-art models such as BERT and its variants) succeed or fail
across languages, domains, or tasks.
(Note: In addition to the Main Track, FNP 2026 will also host the
FinCausal 2026 shared task. A separate call will be issued for this
competition.)
Submission Types:
Formatting will follow the LREC 2026 guidelines.
Long Papers: Up to 8 pages. Should present substantial, original,
completed, and unpublished work.
Short Papers: Up to 4 pages. Suitable for describing small focused
