### Dataset Description
**NumClaim** is a sentence‑level corpus for detecting **numerical claims** in financial text.
A sentence is labelled as **`INCLAIM`** if it expresses a forward‑looking or speculative financial forecast, and **`OUTOFCLAIM`** if it states factual past or present information.:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} The dataset combines analyst reports and earnings‑call transcripts, enabling research on the influence of numerical forecasts on market reactions.:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

### Supported Tasks
| Task | Objective | Typical Metrics |
|------|-----------|-----------------|
| **Numerical Claim Classification** | Classify a sentence as `INCLAIM` or `OUTOFCLAIM`. | Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1 |
| **Optimism Scoring** | Produce a continuous optimism score derived from claim likelihood (research use‑case in paper). | Spearman / Pearson correlation with returns |

### Dataset Creation
- **Source Collection** – Analyst reports (Thomson Reuters) and quarterly earnings‑call transcripts for U.S. public firms (2010 – 2023).
- **Sentence Filtering** – Retained only sentences containing a financial term, numeric value, and currency/percentage symbol.
- **Annotation** – Weak‑supervision rules augmented with subject‑matter‑expert knowledge produced initial labels; a subset was manually validated.
- **Quality Control** – Manual spot‑checks achieved > 0.9 label accuracy, and noisy sentences were removed.

### Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
numclaim = load_dataset("gtfintechlab/Numclaim")
sample = numclaim["train"][0]
print(sample["context"])
print(sample["response"])
