We're excited to announce that LinqAlpha will be presenting two major contributions at SIGIR 2025, the leading international conference on information retrieval, held this year in Padova, Italy.

Structuring the Unstructured: A Multi-agent System for Financial Information Extraction

Our research paper, “Structuring the Unstructured: A Multi-agent System for Extracting and Querying Financial KPIs and Guidance,” was accepted to FinIR ’25, the 2nd Workshop on Financial Information Retrieval in the Era of Generative AI, co-located with SIGIR.

The paper introduces a multi-agent architecture purpose-built for institutional workflows—capable of extracting forward-looking KPIs and qualitative guidance from SEC filings, earnings calls, and other unstructured disclosures.

Key components of the system include:

• An extraction agent trained to identify spans of KPI-relevant text across financial documents

• A text-to-SQL agent that transforms qualitative guidance into structured, queryable form

• An orchestration layer to support downstream analytics and reasoning agents

This system allows investment analysts to query and reason over disclosures directly—eliminating the need for manual parsing, templating, or pre-labeled datasets.

The research was co-authored by:

• Prof. Alejandro Lopez-Lira (University of Florida)

• Prof. Yongjae Lee (KAIST)

• And LinqAlpha engineers: Jihoon, Minjae, Juneha, Minsoo, Chaewoon, Jaeseon, Suyeol, and Jin

Bridging Research and Practice: SIGIR Tutorial Session

In addition to the FinIR workshop, Jacob Choi, CEO of LinqAlpha, will co-present a tutorial at SIGIR 2025 titled:
“Information Retrieval in Finance: Industry and Academic Perspectives on Innovation”

This tutorial will explore:

• Real-world deployment of multi-agent IR systems in finance

• RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) systems tailored to institutional research

• Architecture decisions and tradeoffs in live production environments

Jacob will present alongside Prof. Lopez-Lira, drawing on joint research and field experience from live deployments across hedge funds, asset managers, and banks.

Event Details

• FinIR Workshop presentation: July 17, 2025

• SIGIR Tutorial Session: July 17, 2025

• Location: University of Padova, Padova, Italy

We’re excited to share how our multi-agent research platform is enabling more transparent, queryable access to the language of markets—and look forward to engaging with the SIGIR and FinIR communities this July.
