Tool/Services description


Thomson Reuters Machine Readable News is the industry’s most advanced machine-
readable news platform. It delivers deep historical news archives, ultra-low-latency
structured news, and leading edge news analytics directly to applications. This enables
algorithms and humans to exploit the power of news to seize opportunities, exploit
market inefficiencies, and manage event risk.
Thomson Reuters Machine Readable News is powered by Reuters News—the world’s
largest international news agency, with over 2,800 journalists in almost 200 bureaux
around the world. We gather and edit news in 21 languages, 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year, applying our principles of independence, integrity, and freedom from bias every
step of the way. For more than 150 years, Reuters has been associated with breaking the
world’s top news.
Thomson Reuters News Analytics convert qualitative information into quantitative
scores so users—both machines and humans—can quickly analyze thousands of news
stories in less time than it takes to read a single headline. By working with key partners
(Lexalytics and AlphaSimplex), Thomson Reuters delivers a unique set of real-time
news analytics that can be incorporated into trading and investment models to exploit
market opportunities and manage event risk.
Thomson Reuters News Analytics use sophisticated natural language processing
(NLP) techniques to score news items on over 30,000 companies and nearly 40 com-
modities and energy topics. Items are scored at an entity level across a number of key
dimensions which provides a robust set of metadata in more than 80 fields including
