Solution Overview

Problem

Hedge funds and asset management firms face the challenge of processing vast amounts of financial research information efficiently while maintaining the subjective viewpoints of trusted financial analysts to maximize their competitive edge.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a machine learning model that identifies intents and metrics in texts, calculates sentiment scores, and weights them using disfluency scores to capture the essence of trusted analysts, enabling objective scoring of research findings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If firms increase the number of financial analysts to review research documents, then the quality of analysis improves, but the cost and complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis qualityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a machine-learned model that copies the analytical capabilities and subjective viewpoints of trusted financial analysts. The model is trained on transcripts and texts from these analysts to replicate their decision-making processes, allowing the firm to scale analysis quality without proportionally increasing the number of human analysts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of human analysts reading and analyzing documents with an automated natural language processing system. The machine-learned model processes research documents, earnings transcripts, and news articles automatically, substituting human cognitive labor with computational analysis while preserving the subjective viewpoints of trusted analysts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If firms rely on a small number of trusted curators to maintain quality, then analysis quality is maintained, but the scalability of research processing is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis qualityVSAvoidresearch processing capacity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The machine-learned model serves multiple functions: it processes various types of financial documents (research reports, earnings transcripts, news articles), captures subjective viewpoints from multiple trusted curators, and generates standardized sentiment scores. This universal system can handle diverse inputs while maintaining consistent quality standards across all analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the subjective qualitative analysis of trusted curators into quantitative sentiment scores through parameter changes. By converting textual opinions into numerical values representing sentiment intensity and direction, the system enables scalable processing while maintaining the nuanced viewpoints of individual analysts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If firms process more research documents manually, then the completeness of information increases, but the time and resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The machine-learned model enables continuous processing of research documents without the interruptions and limitations of human analysts. The system can process multiple documents simultaneously and continuously ingest new information from various sources, ensuring no information is lost while dramatically reducing processing time through parallel computation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

Systems and methods herein provide for establishing a subjective viewpoint in text. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying intents and metrics in each of a plurality of texts, calculating a sentiment score for each text based on the identified intents and metrics of each text, and calculating a disfluency score for each text to weight the sentiment score of each text. The method also includes training the machine learning model with the texts, and processing a subsequent text through the trained machine learning model to determine a sentiment score of the subsequent text.
