Book Description
Professional financial traders are currently overwhelmed with news and extracting relevant information is a long and hard task, whilst trading decisions require immediate actions. Primarily intended for financial organizations and business analysts, this book provides an introduction to the algorithmic solutions to automatically extract the desired information from Internet news and obtain it in a well structured form. It places emphasis on the principles of the method rather than its numerical implementation, omitting the mathematical details that might otherwise obscure the text, and focuses on the advantages and on the problems of each method. The authors also include many practical examples with complete references and algorithms for similar problems, which may be useful in the financial field, and basic techniques applied in other information extraction fields which may be imported into the financial news analysis.
