| Challenge: | Existing methods for detecting financial and economic events from text have relied on a knowledge-base of financial events, or corresponding financial figures. |
| Approach: | They propose to use Wikipedia sections to extract weak labels for sentences describing economic events from text. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can extract weak labels for sentences describing economic events from Wikipedia sentences. |
