We explore financial opinion analysis from the perspectives of understanding, generating, and evaluating forward-looking statements. In addition to presenting our work at international conferences such as ACL, LREC-COLING, and CIKM, we also delivered a tutorial at ECAI and contributed a chapter to a forthcoming book published by Springer Nature, titled Agent AI for Finance. Building on the outcomes of this research, we further pursued explorations through a series of shared tasks at NTCIR, held across three consecutive editions, inviting international research teams to engage with this topic. Moreover, we organized a workshop at IJCAI focused on the subfield of scenario planning, fostering broader discussion and collaboration with global research communities.
