Domain-Specific Language Model Post-Training for Indonesian Financial NLP (2310.09736v1)

Abstract: BERT and IndoBERT have achieved impressive performance in several NLP tasks. There has been several investigation on its adaption in specialized domains especially for English language. We focus on financial domain and Indonesian language, where we perform post-training on pre-trained IndoBERT for financial domain using a small scale of Indonesian financial corpus. In this paper, we construct an Indonesian self-supervised financial corpus, Indonesian financial sentiment analysis dataset, Indonesian financial topic classification dataset, and release a family of BERT models for financial NLP. We also evaluate the effectiveness of domain-specific post-training on sentiment analysis and topic classification tasks. Our findings indicate that the post-training increases the effectiveness of a LLM when it is fine-tuned to domain-specific downstream tasks.
