JPMorgan Chase Researchers Propose JPEC: A Novel Graph Neural Network that Outperforms Expert’s Predictions on Tasks of Competitor Retrieval

Understanding Knowledge Graphs in Finance Knowledge graphs are changing how finance works, especially in analyzing competitors. They organize complex data to reveal insights and connections between companies, making the process more efficient and scalable. Improving Performance with Graph Neural Networks Current methods for finding competitors in finance struggle with complex relationships and limited data. A new solution, called JPMorgan Proximity Embedding for Competitor Detection (JPEC), uses a graph neural network to enhance competitor analysis. How JPEC Works JPEC uses first and second-order node proximity to identify competitor patterns. It looks at local connections (first-order) to improve similarity between competitors and uses the overall graph structure (second-order) with GCN Autoencoders. This makes JPEC adaptable to different graph settings. Overcoming Data Limitations The model includes a decoder to address sparse competitor connections, improving information extraction from the supply chain graph. It aims to reduce differences in node feature vectors for better accuracy. Results and Evaluation JPEC was tested on a large financial dataset and outperformed most manual competitor detection methods. Machine learning approaches showed clear advantages over human queries, especially in challenging scenarios. Key Takeaways JPEC effectively enhances competitor retrieval by utilizing node proximity. This innovation highlights the potential of knowledge graphs to provide valuable insights in complex networks and practical business applications.
