pretty_name: Effective Performance Measurement (ECB & SECB)
Effective Performance Measurement: KPI Extraction Datasets
This dataset repository accompanies the ACL 2026 (Industry Track) paper: "Effective Performance Measurement: Challenges and Opportunities in KPI Extraction from Earnings Calls".
It contains three novel benchmarks and a prediction set designed to evaluate the extraction of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) from unstructured financial texts, specifically comparing highly regulated SEC filings to conversational earnings calls.

📊 Dataset Overview
This repository includes four data files, covering data from 20 S&P 500 companies between 2023 and 2024.
1. SEC Filings Benchmark (SECB.json)
- Description: Context-rich text chunks extracted from SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q). This dataset serves as a baseline to test models trained on highly structured, templated financial data.
- Size: 40,661 chunks.
- Annotations: 77,677 regex-labeled entities.
2. Earnings Call Benchmark (ECB.json)
- Description: Raw, unannotated conversational text chunks extracted from corporate earnings calls. This represents the challenging, unstructured domain shift.
- Size: 10,477 chunks.
3. Annotated Earnings Call Benchmark (ECB-A.json)
- Description: An expert-annotated subset of the ECB dataset used for evaluating Large Language Model (LLM) extraction and in-context learning techniques.
- Size: 587 chunks.
- Annotations: 2,460 entities and 934 relational groups.
4. Longitudinal KPI Tracking (gold_standard_traceable.jsonl)
- Description: A dataset containing post-hoc semantic clusterings of KPIs to track emergent metrics across multiple quarters.
- Size: 1,323 traced entity/KPI rows.
