  Implicit sentiment captures cases where factual business-news content changes a reader-investor's attitude toward a company, asset, person, product, or event because readers know what is desirable or undesirable in financial markets, even without words like `great` or `bad`.
544
  Implicit sentiment in financial news is challenging because articles are written objectively and the evidence is lexically diverse and requires common-sense world knowledge to resolve.

  - `sentivent_unified_document_continuous` is a derived evaluation variant that fills discontinuous spans to continuous ranges.
711
- - `task_sentivent_unified_document`, `task_sentivent_unified_sentence`, and `task_sentivent_unified_token` provide secondary task-row views with structured gold JSON.
712
- - `task_ere_document`, `task_ere_sentence`, and `task_ere_token` expose the event extraction labels.
713
- - `task_iabsa_document`, `task_iabsa_sentence`, and `task_iabsa_token` expose implicit aspect-based economic sentiment labels.
714
- - Canonical configs such as `documents`, `sentences`, `tokens`, `events`, `event_arguments`, `sentiment`, `sentiment_targets`, and `event_sentiment` expose the annotation layers as tables.

  # SENTiVENT v1.1 Economic Events and Implicit Sentiment
 
186
  - Human-annotated economic event, argument, sentiment-expression, sentiment-target, and event-sentiment labels.
187
  - A joint document-level target that links event triggers, participants, fillers, sentiment expressions, entity/aspect/event targets, and polarity.
188
  - Consistent train/dev/test splits across configs matching the pre-existing SENTiVENT papers for benchmark comparison.
189
+ - Research-standard document, sentence, and token-span interoperability views for baselines, prompting, and evaluation.
190
 
191
  Implicit sentiment captures cases where factual business-news content changes a reader-investor's attitude toward a company, asset, person, product, or event because readers know what is desirable or undesirable in financial markets, even without words like `great` or `bad`.
192
  Implicit sentiment in financial news is challenging because articles are written objectively and the evidence is lexically diverse and requires common-sense world knowledge to resolve.

212
  ## Main Task
213
 
214
  - The primary public config is `sentivent_unified_document`, the compact view for joint economic event extraction, implicit economic sentiment, and event-targeted sentiment in one structured target.
 
348
  | --- | --- | --- |
349
  | sentivent_unified_document | Canonical joint benchmark for ML and LLM evaluation | Full-article structured IE: extract economic event triggers, types/subtypes, participants, fillers, implicit sentiment expressions/targets, and event-sentiment links. See the [event extraction paper](https://doi.org/10.1007/s10579-021-09562-4), [implicit sentiment paper](https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/10/20/2554), and [SENTiVENT thesis](https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8728891). |
350
  | sentivent_unified_document_continuous | Systems that cannot represent discontinuous spans | Same joint document task for span-limited extractive tools; discontinuous spans are filled to one covering extent, so this is a lossy convenience view. See the [event extraction paper](https://doi.org/10.1007/s10579-021-09562-4) and [implicit sentiment paper](https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/10/20/2554). |
351
+ | sentivent_unified_document_with_canonical_referents | Auditing canonical-reference resolution | Same joint document task plus inline canonical-reference evidence for resolved arguments and targets. See the [event extraction paper](https://doi.org/10.1007/s10579-021-09562-4), [implicit sentiment paper](https://www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/10/20/2554), and [SENTiVENT thesis](https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8728891). |
 
 
 
352
 
353
  ## Dataset Configs
354
 
355
  - `sentivent_unified_document` is the default and recommended config for the full joint extraction task over article text.
356
  - `sentivent_unified_document_continuous` is a derived evaluation variant that fills discontinuous spans to continuous ranges.
357
+ - `sentivent_unified_document_with_canonical_referents` is an opt-in variant that keeps canonical-reference evidence inline.
358
+ - Interoperability configs expose complete task views for common event extraction, implicit ABSA, UIE, OneIE, OmniEvent, DyGIE++, TextEE, and BIO pipelines.

''\nThe quickest way from $ 1 trillion to $ 2 trillion is to get a higher stock multiple on top of earnings growth .\nThe longer they grow services at 20 % or better , the better .\nApple will get a better multiple as services become a bigger part of its pie . ''\nThe biggest differences between the prosaic case and the Buck Rogers case lie in how long it might take Apple to double in value .\nBut here 's what to think about when you ask , can Apple really get to $ 2 trillion ?\nFirst , watch services .\nIt 's the most boring part of the case , but the most predictable , Zino says .\nRight now , services are just 13 % of Apple 's revenue , Zino says .\nThis could be a $ 60 billion business within four years , even with some slowing in growth .\nServices could soon produce 20 % of Apple 's revenue and a third of its profit , Zino predicts .\nMorgan Stanley 's Katy Huberty adds that services could even grow 30 % annually if people demand virtual-reality games and other AR-based services .\nServices businesses also command higher multiples , as Zino points out .\nIf we assume a $ 60 billion services business with 33 % profit margins , services alone would generate as much as $ 20 billion in profit .\nApple made $ 64.1 billion before taxes in fiscal 2017 .\nThat could be worth an extra several-hundred billion right there .\nSecond , watch China and Asia .\nIt 's easy to get carried away by China 's potential , Zino cautions .\nApple 's sales to greater China dropped 17 % in fiscal 2016 and another 8 % in 2017 , thanks partly to the financial-market turmoil there .\nApple 's big issue in China is whether its consumers are rich enough to choose iPhones en masse .\nMorgan Stanley 's Huberty argues that Apple 's China recovery , which began earlier this year , will be accelerated by a shift to more-expensive phones like the iPhone X .\nShe says Apple 's strength selling products in China suggests the real problem has been a lack of a compelling new iPhone .\n`` The number of aged iPhones in China due for an upgrade grew 56 % this year , setting up for accelerating upgrades when a new iPhone form factor launches this fall , '' Huberty wrote in August .\n`` What 's more , the switching opportunity from rival phone makers is ripe in China ... .\nThe combination of these factors drives our 66 % bottom-up China iPhone unit growth forecast in FY18 . ''\nBoosting China unit sales by two-thirds would add $ 30 billion in revenue , even if it took longer than a year .\nApple trades at four times sales , so add about $ 120 billion to market cap for that alone .\nThird , watch the tax bill .\nWith $ 252.3 billion in cash held outside of the U.S. , Apple stands to be the biggest beneficiary of Republican proposals to let companies repatriate offshore funds while paying only 10 % as U.S. taxes , well below today 's rate of 35 % .\nThe other thing to watch is the proposal to cut the corporate tax rate to 20 % on U.S. profits .\nApple pays just 25 % now , so a rate cut is n't likely to be a bonanza for Apple , but it would help .\nFourth , watch the car revolution , but do n't count on it .\nNo one knows what Apple will do about cars , Zino says -- but it could be huge .\nNo surprise why : Loup Ventures , co-founded by longtime Apple analyst Gene Munster , says the car market will see more change in the next 20 years than in the last 50 .\nNearly all new cars and light trucks will be electric-powered and mostly or completely self-driving by 2040 , Loup predicts .\nApple probably wo n't make cars , but Zino and Morgan Stanley 's Huberty both see Apple trying to become a major player in the software and services that make autonomous vehicles and driverless-car services practical .\nWill Apple 's ideas outshine Alphabet 's or Uber 's ?\nNo one knows .\nAlso , Loup 's forecast suggests the shift toward autonomous cars will be fairly backloaded , hitting critical mass in the 2030s -- likely too late to drive the climb toward Apple 's $ 2 trillion valuation .\nThe best play is to hold Apple shares if you like the iPhone business , and be patient with the rest .\nThat services will grow steadily is close to a lock .\nIf a tax bill passes , it will help some .\nWith Bank of America Merrill Lynch saying Asian emerging markets face several years of growth before another recession , that rebound in Asia is another decent bet .\nThose positives outweigh the fact that the futuristic Buck Rogers stuff may take a while .\nIf AR and AI do become huge , they 'll push Apple toward $ 3 trillion or more -- even if that now sounds like to infinity and beyond .","token_count":1169}

This is what you need to know\nDrugstore chains and pharmacy-benefit managers are likely at risk , Wall Street analysts say\nAmazon.com : books , music , movies , apparel , food -- and prescription medicine ?\nA report earlier this year that the massive online retailer was mulling a pharmaceutical-industry entry has had observers all aflutter .\nAmazon 's nearly $ 14 billion acquisition of Whole Foods , announced in June and closed just over two months later , sparked speculation that the grocery chain might soon house pharmacy locations .\nThough Amazon itself has not confirmed a potential expansion into pharmaceuticals , the possibility has sent stocks of pharmaceutical middlemen south on more than one occasion .\n`` Amazon has shown that they have mastery of the technology and innovative approaches to really transform how the marketplace delivers product , '' said Linda Pissott Reig , who co-chairs the FDA section of the Pittsburgh-based law firm Buchanan , Ingersoll & Rooney PC .\nThe move could also have wider implications for consumers .\nAmazon could use de-identified big data to then see if , for example , `` a patient with depression is also seeking out self-help books , or particular products , '' she said .\n`` Amazon , with a giant marketplace , has a lot of ability to collect information . ''\nWhy the prospect of Amazon 's entry to this new market is important : After transforming such industries as publishing , consumer electronics and cloud services -- and decimating key players along the way -- Amazon has built a reputation for dominance .\nBut part of the wide interest in an Amazon pharmacy is that the highly regulated drug business has never been particularly transparent .\nAt best , U.S. drug pricing is complex ; at worst , it 's dysfunctional .\nThose who are skeptical of Amazon 's potential pharmacy entry have noted Amazon 's difficulty breaking into highly regulated markets , including alcohol distribution in the U.S. Industry leaders have brought up similar points .\nFor one , CVS Health Corp. Chief Executive Larry Merlo told Wall Street analysts in August that his industry was `` highly regulated , so the barriers to entry are high . ''\nCNBC , which first reported on Amazon 's pharmacy plans in May , reported Friday that Amazon would make a decision before Thanksgiving .\nGiven that time table , expect the question to crop up again this earnings season .\nWhat companies could be affected : Though Amazon 's involvement could presumably affect any and all parts of the pharmaceutical supply chain , including drug makers , it 's most threatening to retail pharmacy chains like Walgreens Boots Alliance and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. according to Leerink Partners analyst Ana Gupte .\nThat 's because Amazon is expected to begin getting cash-pay and mail-order customers , eventually moving into the pharmacy-benefits manager and retail pharmacy business , Gupte said .\nCVS , though , might be able to leverage its pharmacy-benefit manager unit to reduce its risk , said Leerink Partners analyst David Larsen .\nAnticipated competition from Amazon could also prompt pharmacies to diversify their offerings , Morgan Stanley analyst Ricky Goldwasser said this summer , including offering lab services like blood tests .\nMiddlemen called pharmacy-benefit managers ( PBMs ) , which work with drug makers to negotiate prices on behalf of health insurers and employers , are another player expected to be affected .\nThey are not a well-known part of the U.S. pharmaceutical system but have come under scrutiny in the last year amid public outrage over drug costs .\nBecause PBMs negotiate discounts from drugs ' total cost , critics charge that they also push prices higher to make their discounts appear more favorable .\nAmazon poses `` both an opportunity and a threat '' for Express Scripts Holding Company , the largest stand-alone PBM , Gupte said .\nExpress Scripts announced on Tuesday that it will buy privately-held medical benefit management company eviCore healthcare for $ 3.6 billion , a move that some saw as a response to the Amazon threat .\nMeanwhile , PBMs that are part of UnitedHealth Group and Humana Inc. will be more shielded , Gupte said .\nDrug distributors such as McKesson Corp. , AmerisourceBergen Corp. and Cardinal Health Inc. will likely have less exposure in the near term , according to Leerink 's Larsen .\nReasons for skepticism : A recent report that Amazon had obtained approval to become a wholesale distributors in several states sent pharmaceutical supply chain stocks down again in late October .\nBut scrutiny of those approvals by the investment firm Jefferies found something important : Correspondence between two state pharmacy boards and Amazon showed that those state licenses could only be used for medical device and supplies distribution .\nThat does n't rule out a pharmaceutical entry , but it does suggest that Amazon is starting with other , potentially easier medical products .\nMizuho analyst Ann Hynes is another skeptic .\nBefore acquiring Whole Foods this year , Amazon had talked about entering the grocery industry for more than a decade , Hynes noted .\nBy contrast , Amazon has n't mentioned pharmacy on its earnings call in the past decade , Hynes said .\nIn addition , even after CNBC reported on the online retailer 's purported plan , the company did not list any pharmacy-related jobs , Hynes said .\nAnd , if the company did decide to move into pharmacy , `` there is no obvious asset to buy , '' Hynes said .\nAmazon would need to either build or buy pharmacy capabilities , Gupte said , and could target a smaller player like specialty pharmacy Avella or acquire a larger entity .\nMany companies might also want to partner with Amazon , Leerink 's Gupte said , including the Blue Cross Blue Shield PBM unit Prime Therapeutics , `` to enhance its drug discounts and mail penetration . ''\nSo might Express Scripts and Walgreens , Larsen said .\nWalgreens shares fell 3.4 % in Oct. 9 trade after the CNBC report , CVS shares declined 3.5 % , Wal-Mart shares rose 2.7 % and shares of Express Scripts plummeted 4.9 % .\nShares of the companies have dropped 13.4 % , 11.7 % , risen 12.4 % and dropped 1.9 % over the last three months , respectively , compared with a 4.5 % rise in the S&P 500 .","token_count":1139}

Tax-Related Charge\nBank of America has made a concerted effort to cut costs and focus on safer businesses such as lending to consumers with good credit .\nAbove , customers use ATMs at a bank in New York .\nBank of America has made a concerted effort to cut costs and focus on safer businesses such as lending to consumers with good credit .\nBank of America Corp. said a charge from the new U.S. tax law caused quarterly profit to fall by 48 % , even as the bank ended 2017 with its crisis-era issues firmly in the past .\nThe Charlotte , N.C.-based bank on Wednesday reported fourth-quarter profit of $ 2.37 billion , or 20 cents a share .\nThat was down from $ 4.54 billion a year earlier .\nWithout the $ 2.9 billion tax charge , however , the bank 's profit would have risen to $ 5.3 billion , or 47 cents a share .\nAnalysts polled by Thomson Reuters had expected earnings of 44 cents a share on an adjusted basis .\nFor the year , the bank posted a $ 21.1 billion profit , excluding the tax adjustment .\nThat roughly matched the bank 's all-time profit record from 2006 , when it was a simpler consumer-focused firm that had n't yet bought ailing mortgage lender Countrywide Financial Corp. or investment bank Merrill Lynch & Co.\nThe bank 's executives said Wednesday that the 2018 outlook is bright .\nThat is because the one-time hit from the tax bill is expected to be outweighed by the law 's longer-term benefits .\nThe fourth-quarter charge was largely due to the bank writing down its deferred tax assets .\nThese credits to offset future tax bills were created by past losses , in many cases huge ones racked up during the financial crisis .\nThe assets generally lose value when tax rates fall .\nThe bank expects its effective tax rate for 2018 to be 20 % , down from an expected 29 % before the new tax law , Chief Financial Officer Paul Donofrio said on a call with reporters Wednesday morning .\nChief Executive Brian Moynihan said he expected most of the bank 's benefit from the tax cut would go to shareholders , who should expect higher capital returns in the form of dividends or share buybacks .\nSome of it will be spent on investments .\nMr. Moynihan also reiterated that he expected tax changes would eventually lead to more loan growth .\nThe benefits from the tax bill are expected to accelerate the progress Bank of America has made rebuilding its business after the financial crisis .\nAs recently as 2014 , the lender 's results were dogged by tens of billions of dollars in penalties over financial-crisis era issues .\nSince then , the company 's legal problems have eased , as Mr. Moynihan has made a concerted effort to cut costs and focus on safer businesses such as lending to consumers with good credit .\nThe boost from the tax bill will expedite the bank 's timeline for meeting long-held performance goals of a 1 % return on assets and a 12 % return on tangible common equity , Mr. Moynihan said .\nExcluding the effect of the tax bill , those metrics stood at 0.9 % and 10.9 % in the fourth quarter .\nThe bank has recently had the help of rising interest rates , which are boosting profits .\nBank of America 's net-interest income was $ 11.46 billion , up about 11 % from a year earlier .\nIt paid slightly higher rates to depositors in the quarter , though holders of regular savings accounts are still getting almost nothing in interest .\nThe rate the bank paid on U.S. interest-bearing deposits was 0.27 % , compared with 0.24 % in the prior quarter .\nIt also cut expenses to $ 54.74 billion on the year , coming closer to a $ 53 billion target the bank has set for 2018 .\nRevenue for the year rose 4 % to $ 87.4 billion .\nThere were still some hiccups in the quarter .\nOne was a $ 292 million charge related to `` a single-name non-U.S. commercial '' client in the fourth quarter .\nA person familiar with the matter said this came from the bank 's lending activity involving troubled firm Steinhoff International Holdings NV .\nJPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup Inc. both took similar charges for loans involving the retailer , which is battling burgeoning financial problems after disclosing possible accounting irregularities .\nTrading revenue was another weak spot , as it has been for other large U.S. banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. .\nExcluding an accounting adjustment , Bank of America 's trading revenue fell about 9 % to $ 2.66 billion from $ 2.91 billion in last year 's fourth quarter , though that was less than the bank initially predicted .\nThe lender 's improving fortunes recently helped lift its stock above $ 30 a share for the first time since 2008 .\nShares are up more than 80 % since the 2016 presidential election , when hopes for deregulation , tax cuts and rate increases sent stocks in the sector higher .\nShareholders greeted Bank of America 's latest results with caution , sending the bank 's shares 0.8 % lower in morning trading .\nThe bank had to issue so many new shares to deal with its crisis-era problems that per-share profits remain far below pre-2008 levels .\nAnd Bank of America still trades at a lower valuation than some competitors like JPMorgan Chase .","token_count":992}
