Why NewsForce?

In the past year, we have been able to conduct numerous meetings in which we showed the results of the master thesis and its proof of concept. This enabled us to build up a network of potential customers from financial institutions such as J.P. Morgan, St.Galler Kantonalbank, a consulting firm Ernst&Young, a swiss energy operator BKW AG and also raised the interest of academic institutions such as KOF ETHZ, University of St. Gallen, and the University of Southampton. However, the main challenge we are expecting to face is differentiating added value or success-metric from each sector. For instance, financial institutions are interested in risk-adjusted returns, and P&L reports, whereas academic institutions are more interested in statistical evaluations. For the former challenge, we are considering simulating some scenarios and strategies, where we aim to produce positive equity curves to demonstrate the predictive value of our signal for inspirational marketing purposes. For the latter, we are already actively writing articles for reputable journals and conferences.

Is it better?

Our solution offers a unique and powerful approach to asset-specific sentiment classification. By combining theoretical and factual knowledge with state-of-the-art language models, we have developed a system that is able to accurately approximate the target asset. This approach allows us to achieve superior performance compared to modern and proprietary sentiment classifiers such as FinBERT and RavenPack.
