FinFlier is a system that automates the generation of graphical overlays for financial visualizations by employing a knowledge-grounding Large Language Model. The system improves the clarity and engagement of financial narratives, achieving F1 scores up to 0.9455 for text-data binding and receiving high user satisfaction for its enhanced readability and comprehensiveness.

Key insights

  • A systematic analysis of 1752 layered charts informed the identification of nine common graphical overlay categories and their effective correspondence with financial narrative structures.
  • Knowledge-grounding and advanced prompt engineering are crucial for LLMs to accurately interpret specialized financial vocabulary (e.g., 'bullish trend') and complex narrative structures for text-data binding.
  • Graphical overlays, when layered directly onto charts, significantly reduce cognitive load and enhance the understandability, engagement, and comprehensiveness of financial visualizations compared to side-by-side text-chart presentations.
