# FinDialogLens: Event Extraction over Multi-Party Dialogue for Missed-Trade Identification in Financial Chatrooms > Source: > Published: 2026-10-05 04:00:00+00:00 arXiv:2610.02455v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-party financial chatrooms are vital for sales-and-trading professionals, but their complexity makes manual recovery of missed trades infeasible: each Request for Quote (RFQ) is an event whose final price and trade outcome appear many messages after the RFQ-trigger message (the inquiry message), interleaved with concurrent RFQs from other participants. We cast this as event extraction (EE) over multi-party dialogue and present FinDialogLens, a hybrid LLM pipeline in which compact fine-tuned classifiers act as inference-time scaffolds: they detect RFQ-triggers and price/trade outcome metadata, an RFQ-Level Module segments per-event RFQ windows, and a Trade Engine fills argument roles. With GPT-4o, FinDialogLens reaches 92.1% and 94.3% accuracy on final price and trade outcome, respectively, outperforming full-chatroom CoT prompting methods; fine-tuned open-source LLMs with as few as 3B parameters achieve comparable performance with modest in-domain data. To make the LLM-based solution practical at scale, a difficulty-aware router balances cost and accuracy by allocating RFQs between a low-cost rule-based engine and the higher-performing LLM-powered Trade Engine, cutting LLM calls by 85% on final price while recovering half of the accuracy gap to FinDialogLens (GPT-4o), saving over $300/day at our 70,000-RFQ/day scale.
