MetaGraph: A Large-Scale Meta-Analysis of GenAI in Financial NLP (2022-2025)

arXiv:2509.09544v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Financial NLP has evolved rapidly since late 2022, outpacing narrative surveys. We introduce MetaGraph, a methodology for extracting typed knowledge graphs from scientific corpora using ontology-guided LLM extraction to enable structured, large-scale trend analysis. Applied to 681 papers on GenAI in Finance (2022-2025), MetaGraph reveals three phases: early LLM-driven expansion of tasks and datasets, growing emphasis on limitations and risk, and a shift toward modular, system-oriented methods (e.g., retrieval-augmented designs). We release th

Why this matters
Why now

The rapid evolution of generative AI in financial NLP since late 2022 necessitates new methods for structured trend analysis.

Why it’s important

This meta-analysis provides a structured view of GenAI evolution in a critical sector, highlighting key phases and emerging design patterns like retrieval-augmented generation.

What changes

Understanding of GenAI's development in finance shifts from narrative surveys to data-driven trend analysis, revealing specific phases and architectural shifts.

Winners
  • · Financial institutions adopting modular AI systems
  • · Developers of RAG architectures
  • · Researchers focused on AI limitations and risk
Losers
  • · Companies relying on outdated GenAI models
  • · Traditional narrative-based analysis methods
  • · Financial data providers without GenAI integration
Second-order effects
Direct

Financial NLP development will increasingly emphasize modular, system-oriented approaches.

Second

Investment in AI governance and risk mitigation within financial applications will accelerate.

Third

The application of this meta-analysis methodology could extend to other rapidly evolving AI application domains.
