Leveraging NLP in Asset Management

Session Summary: Managers look to provide a consistent edge above and beyond the broad markets by attempting to uncover differentiated insights around potential investments. They work to gain a deeper understanding of their investments, giving them more confidence in the companies or the securities they are interested in. To do this, portfolio managers are increasingly turning to new data sources and more sophisticated techniques to provide the edge they need to survive. This session will explore Natural Language Processing (NLP), a branch of artificial intelligence, that uses machine learning algorithms to analyze and understand human language, enabling asset managers to unlock insights and opportunities by analyzing large volumes of unstructured data.
