Zero-Shot Text Matching for Automated Auditing using Sentence Transformers

Computation and Language 2022-11-16 v1 Machine Learning

Abstract

Natural language processing methods have several applications in automated auditing, including document or passage classification, information retrieval, and question answering. However, training such models requires a large amount of annotated data which is scarce in industrial settings. At the same time, techniques like zero-shot and unsupervised learning allow for application of models pre-trained using general domain data to unseen domains. In this work, we study the efficiency of unsupervised text matching using Sentence-Bert, a transformer-based model, by applying it to the semantic similarity of financial passages. Experimental results show that this model is robust to documents from in- and out-of-domain data.
