Researchers have introduced FinRAG-QA, a new benchmark dataset designed to improve question-answering systems for complex financial documents. This dataset includes 999 questions based on annual reports from 24 major European and U.S. banks between 2019 and 2023, focusing on standardized indicators. FinRAG-QA is notable for its scale, with documents averaging 198,000 words, making it larger than existing financial QA resources. Evaluations on this benchmark demonstrated that a multi-stage retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline significantly enhanced both retrieval and answer accuracy, with specific components like optimized embedding models and generators showing substantial improvements.
