MoCA-Agent: A Market-of-Claims Code Agent for Financial and Numerical Reasoning
Researchers introduced MoCA-Agent, a novel AI system that improves financial and numerical reasoning by decomposing questions into atomic claims verified through a market-based mechanism rather than free-form debate. The system achieved strong performance across ten benchmarks, including 78.3% on FinQA and 86.9% on ESGenius, demonstrating that claim-level verification enhances accuracy in high-stakes numerical reasoning tasks.
