More about the tool:

  • Detects the structure of UK Annual Reports by detecting the key section, their start and end page and extracting the contents.

  • The tool provides A Section Classification mechanism to tell the type of the extracted section, each extracted section will be annotated with a number between 0 and 8 as follows:

    • 1: Indicates a Chairman Statement Section (this works with synonyms as well, e.g. Chairman Letter)
    • 2: CEO Review
    • 3: Corporate Government Report
    • 4: Directors Remuneration Report
    • 5: Business Review
    • 6: Financial Review
    • 7: Operating Review
    • 8: Highlights
    • 0: Indicates any other section that doesn't belong to the sections between 1 and 8

  • The analysis results of the uploaded files or reports can be found in a sub-directory that follow the patter of "FileName_Analysis"

    • For example if you are uploading a file called XYZCompany.pdf, the results will be in sub-directory called XYZCompany_Analysis

  • The tool provides more fields in the Sections_Frequencies.csv file which can be found in the Analysis sub-directory.
    The new fields are:

    • Start and End pages of each section
    • Report Year, this will only work if the year was part of the file name. E.g. "XYZCompany_2015.pdf"
    • Performance Flag: Shows 1 if a section is a performance section, 0 otherwise.
    • Strategy Flag: Shows 1 if a section is a strategic section, 0 otherwise.
    • Booklet Flag: Shows 1, 2 or 3 if a header is a booklet layout, 0 otherwise. Our tool is unable to process booklet annual reports (those reports where two pages are combined into one pdf page). Numbers 1-3 indicates how confident the system is. 1 suspects a booklet layout, 3 definitely a booklet layout
    • The keyword lists (Forward Looking, Uncertainty, Positivity and Negativity) have been updated to eliminate duplicates and encoding errors.
    • The matching process has been improved for a faster processing time.

Enjoy CFIE-FRSE,
