How strong is Bloomberg’s NLP technology? How many teams there work on NLP? I don’t think Bloomberg is leader in AI, but I guess it should be super strong in NLP given its nature as major financial news hub. Btw other than Google, what’s the list of companies strong in NLP? Facebook, Amazon(Alexa), Twitter, and even Microsoft?
Out ML program is expanding rapidly . Have an excellent team as of now But the research is very niche and pigeon holed towards processing news and market moving information Any teams under Niraj or Anju are heavily invested in it
Thanks for the info. I think it makes sense Bloomberg focuses on market moving and its beneficial to gain related expertise for those interested in finance? For instance ML engineer can secure job at investment bank or buy side fund which highly rely on NLP after BBG?
That would be very subjective. Your knowledge in math, stats and probability and language processing can be used in vast areas! But it always depends if that skill set is need for the products these companies are building. You can approach them even with an Idea of what you can do for them and help save time and make more money So having finance knowledge would the key factor, if you want to put your tools at use in this industry
