Indian Financial News NER GLiNER v1

indian-financial-news-ner-gliner-v1 is a GLiNER-based named entity recognition model fine-tuned for Indian financial news, market updates, company news, and stock-market-related text.

The model is designed as a lightweight candidate extraction layer for financial intelligence pipelines. It can be used to extract companies, indices, organizations, amounts, percentages, dates, sectors, financial terms, and event-related phrases from short financial-news text.

This is a v1 release. It should be treated as a domain-specialized candidate extractor, not as a final truth engine.

Usage

from gliner import GLiNER

model = GLiNER.from_pretrained("techkiyan/indian-financial-news-ner-gliner-v1")

labels = [
    "company",
    "index",
    "organization",
    "person",
    "amount",
    "percentage",
    "date",
    "financial_term",
    "event_signal",
    "sector",
]

text = "HDFC Bank shares rose 3% after the company reported strong Q1 profit growth."

entities = model.predict_entities(text, labels, threshold=0.5)

for entity in entities:
    print(entity)

Recommended Use

This model is best used as the first layer in a financial information extraction pipeline:

1. Extract entity candidates.
2. Resolve company names to NSE/BSE symbols.
3. Normalize amounts, percentages, and dates using deterministic rules.
4. Link organizations and sectors to internal dictionaries.
5. Use a separate event classifier for event type and market-intelligence workflows.

Recommended Labels for Production Pipelines

For stricter production use, start with:

• company
• index
• organization
• amount
• percentage
• financial_term
• sector

The following labels should be treated as experimental or review-only in v1:

• event_signal
• person
• date

Evaluation

Internal corrected merged-label test benchmark:

Important: this is an internal benchmark on corrected merged-label test data. It should not be interpreted as a public SOTA claim.

Dataset

The model was trained on a corrected silver + seed-gold Indian financial-news corpus.

Summary:

• Total exported rows: 92,485
• Annotation-corrected rows: 43,584
• Reviewed rows: 100
• Seed-gold rows: 95
• Training rows: 73,864
• Validation rows: 9,055

The training data is not included in this model release. Some source text may come from third-party financial-news sources, so users should verify licensing before redistributing datasets.

Limitations

• This is a v1 model.
• It is intended for candidate extraction, not final financial reasoning.
• Entity linking to NSE/BSE symbols is not included.
• event_signal is experimental and may be better handled by a separate event classification model.
• The model does not provide investment advice, trading signals, buy/sell calls, or price predictions.

Disclaimer

This model is for financial text understanding and market-intelligence research. It does not provide investment advice, buy/sell recommendations, target prices, or trading decisions.
