Interesting site. I currently work at a hedge fund, but have a small dose of NLP in my academic background, so it's always interesting to see concepts like this come out.
Two questions:
- Are you using EDGAR's 'Facts' function? It seems to make SEC Filings a lot more like structured text than they have been previously, but I haven't seen really convincing tools developed to use it yet
- How/do you ever see yourself interfacing with similar 'red flag' screening tools that just work on the numerical side i.e. accounting ratios ?
Also, you've got a grammatical error on your Values and Vision page.
Normally I wouldn't comment to point that kind of thing out, but for an NLP startup it seems more appropriate ('its volume' not 'it's volume')!
- kbennatti 5y agoThanks for website edit! Fixed. We don't rely on XBRL for parsing. It's not very consistent/reliable and its mostly for numeric content. We've definitely considered integrating ratios both into our dashboard. It isn't a current priority because ratios are already well supported elsewhere.
- somberi 5y agoAsking to learn - ex-Algo here. May I ask where else ratios are represented. Thanks and all the best for your launch. Very useful service. From experience, I would suggest you have way for the manager of a fund or a desk or a bank, to see the usefulness. You will have good pull from the line staff, but selling to the managers is the hard part.
- piesauce 5y agoThanks for your wishes! For ratios, We love Alpha Vantage. They are great value for money.
