Financial PhraseBank - Sentiment Classification

# Financial PhraseBank - Sentiment Classification
# Based on Malo et al., JASIST 2014
# Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1307.5336
# Dataset: https://huggingface.co/datasets/financial_phrasebank
#
# This task classifies the sentiment of financial news sentences.
# Annotators assign both a fine-grained sentiment level (5-point scale)
# and a coarse-grained sentiment label (positive, negative, neutral)
# to each sentence from financial news articles.
#
# Fine-Grained Sentiment:
# - Strong Positive: Clear positive impact on company/market
# - Moderate Positive: Mild positive implications
# - Neutral: No sentiment or balanced positive/negative
# - Moderate Negative: Mild negative implications
# - Strong Negative: Clear negative impact on company/market
#
# Annotation Guidelines:
# 1. Read the sentence carefully in its financial context
# 2. Select the fine-grained sentiment level
# 3. Select the coarse-grained overall sentiment
# 4. Focus on investor/market perspective, not general sentiment

annotation_instructions: |
  You will be shown a sentence from a financial news article. Your task is to:
  1. Determine the fine-grained sentiment (Strong Positive to Strong Negative).
  2. Assign the overall sentiment label (Positive, Negative, or Neutral).

  Important: Judge sentiment from an investor or market perspective, not general sentiment.
  For example, "layoffs" might be negative generally but could be positive for investors
  if it signals cost-cutting measures.
