Dataset Card for FinCorpus-DE10k
Dataset Details
Dataset Description
FinCorpus-DE10k is a corpus containing 12,235 PDF files of financial documents, mostly security prospectuses, along with plaintext files for approximately 10,500 of these documents. The documents are primarily in German (71%), with the rest being bilingual (German and English). This dataset aims to facilitate tasks like text analysis, language modeling, and document understanding in the financial domain.
This dataset is a subset of the above dataset, with the collections we felt comfortable releasing under permissive CC licenses. It omits the IFRS (containing 7 documents) and Informational_materials (127/129 txt/pdf files) collections. To get access to the full corpus, get in touch with us.
- Curated by: Nata Kozaeva, Serhii Hamotskyi, Christian Hänig
- Language(s) (NLP): German (DE), Bilingual (German and English)
- License: CC BY-NC 4.0 except the monthly and annual reports, which are CC BY-NC-ND 4.0.
It's composed of multiple collections, with the text content available as dataset configs as:
- Annual_reports
- BBK_monthly
- Base_prospectuses
- Final_terms
- Law

Uses
Direct Use
By providing a rich collection of financial documents in PDF format, the dataset facilitates the development of algorithms that can navigate the complex layouts typically found in financial documents. FinCorpus-DE10k is also suited for developing and testing NLP models specialized in the financial domain, including but not limited to information extraction, named entity recognition, and specialized language models.
Dataset Structure
When used through
load_dataset()
, the dataset has two features:filename
andtext
, one instance per .txt document.The complete dataset, pdf and txt, can be found in corpus.zip. In the archive,
metadata.csv
contains the path for the PDF and its extracted .txt (if available), as well as collection name, presence of extracted text, paths to PDF and .txt files, document language(s), and financial identifiers like ISIN and country for relevant documents.The pdf and txt subfolders contain the same mirrored directory structure, sorted by collection.
Dataset Creation
Source Data
Data Collection and Processing
Extensive preprocessing was applied to ensure the quality and uniformity of the dataset. It's described in our paper: TODO
Who are the source data producers?
The documents were produced by various financial institutions, regulatory bodies, companies, and the Deutsche Bundesbank.
Personal and Sensitive Information
The dataset contains financial documents that are publicly available.
Licensing
We diligently adhered to the licensing guidelines to the best of our understanding. However, the responsibility for the use of the documents and compliance with applicable laws rests with you.
Get in touch with us if any of the documents need to be removed from the collection.

- Bundesbank monthly+annual allows using its documents if they are unchanged, hence the CC BY-NC-ND license: Nutzungsbedingungen - Für den allgemeinen Gebrauch der Website | Deutsche Bundesbank
- German laws are public domain: Act on Copyright and Related Rights (Urheberrechtsgesetz – UrhG)
- Final terms documents (and their Basisprospekte) can be considered public domain (at least their textual content), since the relevant EU regulation mandates they are published and freely accessible: L_2017168EN.01001201.xml
