Problem

Scenario

You are working on an NLP system that reads regulatory documents in a financial setting, such as supervisory guidance, rule updates, consultation papers, and enforcement notices. The goal is to turn long, technical text into structured signals that analysts can search, monitor, and act on. The documents contain legal language, section hierarchies, citations, entity references, and policy changes, so the solution needs to handle both document understanding and extraction.

Question

How would you apply machine learning to regulatory documents in a financial setting?

What the task tests

  • Section or paragraph-level text classification
  • Named entity recognition for regulators, obligations, dates, and articles
  • Transformer-based language models for domain text
  • Evaluation with F1 under class imbalance
