NLP is a branch of computer science and artificial intelligence that enables computers to extract meaning from unstructured text, like news, analyst research reports and earnings call transcripts. Although NLP has been around for decades, the recent and rapid rise of deep learning algorithms together with the increasing availability of massive amounts of text data are creating new and appealing opportunities for this technology across many industry sectors, including in the investment world. Although we're still a long way from machines that can understand and speak human language, NLP has become pivotal in many applications that we use every day, including digital assistants, web search, email, and machine translation. The combination of NLP and machine learning will enable us to gain insights from massive unstructured data for several purposes, like sentiment analysis, key aspect extraction, etc. as well as enriching the information machine learning models can consume. Meanwhile, from the qualitative point of view, the application of NLP is helping asset managers pinpoint interesting events from vast amounts of data quicker than ever. For example, it can automate the incorporation and analysis of public filings and flag changes in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) related sentiment that a research analyst can focus on: this is an example of machines complementing the human process instead of replacing it.
Emmanuel Hauptmann, Senior Systematic Equity Fund Manager and Founding Partner of RAM AI commented: "At RAM AI research plays a pivotal role in informing our investment approach, we conduct it in house with the support of passionate and talented professionals. I am pleased to welcome Tian to our research team, his background and expertise represent an ideal complement to our ongoing efforts in integrating state-of-the-art technology to our investment process, I wish Tian every success in his new role.”
