Event Details

Much like Star Wars, we are working our way backward. At last month's Big Data and Analytics Round Table we heard from Narrative Science, who utilizes Natural Language Generation to create narratives out of data. But without good data, you can't believe the story. Sagence NLP enables large, complex organizations facing countless regulatory demands extract only the data that matters most to them

By 2015 the digital universe of data will be equivalent to 18 million Libraries of Congress. Big Data promises organizations can make data-driven decisions faster than before, take advantage of business opportunities, or simply course-correct rapidly. But the three characteristics of Big Data—often referred to as the three Vs—present unique challenges. Data now comes in larger volumes, is comprised of greater variety, and is generated at a higher velocity. The variety of data sources, particularly in the financial services industry, will be the focus of Alex Wu's presentation. Alex and his team at Sagence has developed a tool that extracts intelligence from PDF documents, newsfeeds, 10Ks, ISDA documents, and other unstructured data sources. Alex will share the importance of using Natural Language Processing (NLP) for data collection and processing and will demonstrate how NLP increases analytical processing speed and quality while decreasing the cost of operations.
