ViewerPro: Semantic processing of news


.ViewerPro is a software platform that automatically analyses news that is relevant for
your portfolio to determine the expected impacts of the information in the news on
multi-asset classes. ViewerPro automates the effective evaluation of textual news.
ViewerPro supports risk managers/(algo)traders’ services to assess whether emerging
news messages affect the value of a specific equity, bond, or other asset class, and it
provides an estimate of the magnitude and direction in which the value of a security
may be affected.
.ViewerPro gives traders a powerful tool to capture and edit news-based financial
information. Risk managers can express their business rules according to their own
market insights in an intuitive way, without interference from an external knowledge
engineer. This way, organizations are secure to express their own proprietary
knowledge and to create their own trading knowledge base.
.ViewerPro processes text by using leading edge semantic technologies. It was awarded
innovation funds from the European Commission. These technologies include meta-
data filtering, parsing, gazetteering, stemming, natural language processing, auto-
matic pattern matching, etc. This means that ViewerPro can provide the highest
possible recall and the highest possible precision in analysing relevant news for
trading portfolios, and is scalable to process huge amounts of data instantly.
