ECTSum targets extreme summarization of long, unstructured financial documents: its document-to-summary compression ratio of 103.67 is the highest among long-document summarization datasets of comparable length, forcing models to isolate only the most material facts — the same skill a research agent needs when reading an earnings call before a trading decision.

Published as a long paper at EMNLP 2022 (arXiv:2210.12467); the release includes baseline results and the authors’ ECT-BPS model.
