Refinitiv Learn-It-All Labs

How to improve the accuracy of your financial language models

Imagine AI that understands financial data better than you do....

Financial institutions are increasingly aware of the potential value that can be found in unstructured data to spot issues or uncover trends in financial markets. As such, the Refinitiv Labs have been working on projects to apply traditional language models to financial data to unlock this potential.

One example, is a project in which Refinitiv Labs trained a BERT model leveraging Reuters news, which achieves a high-level of accuracy and returns a single document embedding from the text via API.

The API will enable financial data practitioners to fine-tune models across a number of NLP use cases and applications, without having to do upfront and expensive pre-training and embedding. The first users of Labs’ prototype model have seen better accuracy scores on their models thanks to the high-quality representation of the text generated by Labs’ underlying model.

In this hands-on lab, you will takeaway:

Practical steps and learnings from building and training the state-of-the-art BERT language model
Key financial use cases and applications that Refinitiv Labs’ new language model will enable
How domain-specific language models can be integrated into NLP training pipelines

Stanimir Vichev

Senior Software Engineer, Refinitiv Labs

A senior software engineer passionate about all things AI and currently building MVPs to test how cutting edge tech (AI, ML, cloud, graph, alt data) can be used to solve real business problems at Refinitiv Labs. Skilled in machine learning, Python, Node.js, AWS, Docker, graph data, I am constantly looking for opportunities to expand my expertise in AI and software engineering. I am particularly interested in how AI can be used for social good, as well as how to bring it from a prototype to a real product. I am part of DataKind UK, a volunteering organization that helps charities get more value from their data through AI. I have a Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) degree from UC Berkeley School of Information (completed part-time while working), and a bachelor’s degree in Computer and Business Studies from the University of Warwick.
