Abstract

Technical analysis in finance, which aims at forecasting price movements in the future by analyzing past market data, relies on the insights that can be gained from the interpretation of stock charts; therefore, non-expert investors could greatly benefit from AI tools that can assist with the captioning of such charts.
In our work, we introduce a new dataset StockGenChaR to evaluate large vision-language models in image captioning with stock charts. The purpose of the proposed task is to generate informative descriptions of the depicted charts and help to read the sentiment of the market regarding specific stocks, thus providing useful information for investors.
