IGT @ FinMMEval 2026 Task 2: Question-Type Prompting with Targeted Extraction for Multilingual Financial QA
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
We present the IGT system for PolyFiQA Task 2 of the FinMMEval Lab at CLEF 2026, a multilingual financial question answering task over English SEC filings and multilingual news articles (English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Greek) for four companies. Our central observation is that the 344 development questions divide into two families requiring fundamentally different approaches: structured numeric types (R&D ratio, cash flow, capital expenditure) are best answered by direct keyword extraction on filing text, while synthesis types (investment strategy, capital allocation, top-three revenue focuses) require rule-based multilingual news passage selection. A dataset analysis reveals that 17-18 of 19 ground-truth reference answers per synthesis type share an exact evidence label prefix, whose unigram tokens contribute directly to ROUGE-1 overlap. The final system achieves development ROUGE-1 approximately 0.395, a 60% relative improvement over a generic RAG baseline (approximately 0.247), and ranks 3rd of 12 teams on the official test set with ROUGE-1 = 0.3071, Precision = 0.2821, and Recall = 0.4044.
