CSMD: Curated Multimodal Dataset for Chinese Stock Analysis

The stock market is a complex and dynamic system, where it is non-trivial for researchers and practitioners to uncover underlying patterns and forecast stock movements. The existing studies for stock market analysis rely on leveraging various types of information to extract useful factors, which are highly conditional on the quality of the data used. However, the currently available resources are mainly based on the U.S. stock market in English, which is inapplicable to adapt to other countries. To address these issues, we propose CSMD, a multimodal dataset curated specifically for analyzing the Chinese stock market with meticulous processing for validated quality. In addition, we develop a lightweight and user-friendly framework LightQuant for researchers and practitioners with expertise in financial domains. Experimental results on top of our datasets and framework with various backbone models demonstrate their effectiveness compared with using existing datasets. The datasets and code are publicly available at the link: https://github.com/ECNU-CILAB/LightQuant.
