+# Finance Fundamentals: Quantity Extraction
+
+## About
+This dataset contains evaluations for extracting numbers from financial text. The datasets are sourced from:
+- [TatQA](https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.07624)
+- [ConvFinQA](https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.03849)
+
+Each question in this set went through additional manual review to ensure both correctness and clarity. 
+
+## Example
+Each question will contain a document context:
+```
+The Company’s top ten clients accounted for 42.2%, 44.2% and 46.9% of its consolidated revenues during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
+The following table represents a disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers by delivery location (in thousands):
+|  |  | Years Ended December 31, |  |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+|  | 2019 | 2018 | 2017 |

+    abstract = "Answering questions within business and finance requires reasoning, precision, and a wide-breadth of technical knowledge. Together, these requirements make this domain difficult for large language models (LLMs). We introduce BizBench, a benchmark for evaluating models' ability to reason about realistic financial problems. BizBench comprises eight quantitative reasoning tasks, focusing on question-answering (QA) over financial data via program synthesis. We include three financially-themed code-generation tasks from newly collected and augmented QA data. Additionally, we isolate the reasoning capabilities required for financial QA: reading comprehension of financial text and tables for extracting intermediate values, and understanding financial concepts and formulas needed to calculate complex solutions. Collectively, these tasks evaluate a model{'}s financial background knowledge, ability to parse financial documents, and capacity to solve problems with code. We conduct an in-depth evaluation of open-source and commercial LLMs, comparing and contrasting the behavior of code-focused and language-focused models. We demonstrate that the current bottleneck in performance is due to LLMs' limited business and financial understanding, highlighting the value of a challenging benchmark for quantitative reasoning within this domain."
