Automated News Analysis on Wall Street

The New York Times recently published an article about the automated news anaylsis tools that are currently being used on Wall Street. The article describes the current trend – and potential – of using semantic analysis tools for analysing news, such as the news information published in news reports, blogs and Twitter feeds.

The technologies described are very similar to SemLab’s ViewerPro technology for automatic semantic analysis of news.
