WeaverBird: Empowering Financial Decision-Making with Large Language Model, Knowledge Base, and Search Engine
This system addresses the need for credible financial decision-making tools for users, but it is incremental as it applies existing methods to a specific domain.
The authors tackled the problem of providing informed financial advice by developing WeaverBird, a dialogue system that combines a large language model with a knowledge base and search engine, demonstrating superior performance on finance-related questions compared to other models.
We present WeaverBird, an intelligent dialogue system designed specifically for the finance domain. Our system harnesses a large language model of GPT architecture that has been tuned using extensive corpora of finance-related text. As a result, our system possesses the capability to understand complex financial queries, such as "How should I manage my investments during inflation?", and provide informed responses. Furthermore, our system incorporates a local knowledge base and a search engine to retrieve relevant information. The final responses are conditioned on the search results and include proper citations to the sources, thus enjoying an enhanced credibility. Through a range of finance-related questions, we have demonstrated the superior performance of our system compared to other models. To experience our system firsthand, users can interact with our live demo at https://weaverbird.ttic.edu, as well as watch our 2-min video illustration at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yofgeqnlrMc.
