The ArGiMI Ardian datasets : Text-only version

The ArGiMi project is committed to open-source principles and data sharing. Thanks to our generous partners, we are releasing several valuable datasets to the public.

Dataset description

This text-only dataset comprises 34,000 financial annual reports, written in English, meticulously extracted from their original PDF format to provide a valuable resource for researchers and developers in financial analysis and natural language processing (NLP). These reports were published from the late 90s to 2023.

This is the lightweight version without page images. For the full version with page screenshots, see artefactory/Argimi-Ardian-Finance-10k-text-image.

You can load the dataset with:

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("artefactory/Argimi-Ardian-Finance-10k-text", split="train")
# Or you can stream the dataset to save memory space :
ds = load_dataset("artefactory/Argimi-Ardian-Finance-10k-text", split="train", streaming=True)

Dataset composition:

• Each PDF was divided into individual pages to facilitate granular analysis.
• For each page, the following data points were extracted:
  • Raw Text: The complete textual content of the page, capturing all textual information present.
  • Cells: Each cell within tables was identified and represented as a Cell object within the docling framework. Each Cell object encapsulates:
    • id: A unique identifier assigned to each cell, ensuring unambiguous referencing.
    • text: The textual content contained within the cell.
    • bbox: The precise bounding box coordinates of the cell, defining its location and dimensions on the page.
    • When OCR is employed, cells are further represented as OcrCell objects, which include an additional confidence attribute. This attribute quantifies the confidence level of the OCR process in accurately recognizing the cell's textual content.
  • Segments: Beyond individual cells, docling segments each page into distinct content units, each represented as a Segment object. These segments provide a structured representation of the document's layout and content, encompassing elements such as tables, headers, paragraphs, and other structural components. Each Segment object contains:
    • text: The textual content of the segment.
    • bbox: The bounding box coordinates, specifying the segment's position and size on the page.
    • label: A categorical label indicating the type of content the segment represents (e.g., "table," "header," "paragraph").
• To guarantee unique identification, each document is assigned a distinct identifier derived from the hash of its content.

Parsing description:

The dataset creation involved a systematic process using the docling library (Documentation).

• PDFs were processed using the DocumentConverter class, employing the PyPdfiumDocumentBackend for handling of the PDF format.
• To ensure high-quality extraction, the following PdfPipelineOptions were configured:

pipeline_options = PdfPipelineOptions(ocr_options=EasyOcrOptions(use_gpu=True))
pipeline_options.images_scale = 2.0  # Scale image resolution by a factor of 2
pipeline_options.generate_page_images = False  # No page images for text-only version
pipeline_options.do_ocr = True  # Perform OCR
pipeline_options.do_table_structure = True  # Extract table structure
pipeline_options.table_structure_options.do_cell_matching = True  # Perform cell matching in tables
pipeline_options.table_structure_options.mode = TableFormerMode.ACCURATE  # Use accurate mode for table structure extraction

• These options collectively enable:
  • GPU-accelerated Optical Character Recognition (OCR) via EasyOcr.
  • Upscaling of image resolution by a factor of 2 for processing, enhancing extraction quality.
  • Comprehensive table structure extraction, including cell matching, to accurately capture tabular data within the reports.
  • The "accurate" mode for table structure extraction, prioritizing precision in identifying and delineating tables.
