Forum on News Analytics, London

This week, Semlab attended the ‘Forum on News Analytics applied to Trading, Fund Management and Risk Control’, at Canary Wharf in London.

Our director of research, Dr. Mark Vreijling, gave a lecture on Semlab’s cutting edge news analytics platform ViewerPro, and the prospects of using semantic news analysis for Trading and Risk Control.

Financial news contains market information that is potentially useful for trading and risk assessment. Most financial companies still have no way of automatically analysing news and information is either missed or takes long to process. With semantic analysis platforms like ViewerPro, no news is missed and desisions can be made much quicker.

Semlab in Machine Translation project: Let’sMT!

Letsmt
Semlab had joined an international consortium of researchers, linguistic experts and software developers to create a system that automatically translates relatively small languages.

The focus in the project lies with small languages such as Latvian, Lithuanian, Croatian, etc. and one of the main methods that will be used is Statistical Machine Translation (SMT). SMT systems are built by analyzing huge volumes of parallel corpus and learning translation models from these data. This is particularly tricky with smaller languages since the available corpus data is much smaller.

The project aims at a.o. developing a widget or browser add-on that translates such small languages and is currently under evaluation at the European union.

The Solim project’s spatial reasoning system has been in development for one year and Semlab, Picsearch and AGMlab will meet their partner Tilde at their office in Riga this week to discuss the project’s future.

Last year, the project members have determined the application’s requirements and designed the language, reasoner, translation and image search functionality of the proof of concept (PoC) application. In the coming year, these separate elements will be implemented in order to build the final application.
