T/R Innovations in Quantitative Research Event
07/10/08 at 12:30:28

Yesterday (July 9, 2008) I have attended Thomson Reuters Forum Event on Innovations in Quantitative Research Event: http://financial.thomsonreuters.com/quants

Unofficial topic of this event is the role of news (verbal information in general) on profitability of systematic trading and efficiency of algorithmic trading. It looks like that verbal information is a new domain in quantitative research. Lucky for us research in using Machine Learning is at advanced stage. There are numerous statistical and AI techniques to process increasing flow of news. Here are the most prominent methods: Naive Bayes Classification, k-NN, SVM and, of course, ANN.

A year ago, when I started my work on News classification there were close to none number of vendors with API for news reading. Now each data vendor works on this functionality: Reuters, Dow Jones, Bloomberg.

The question is... is it too late to join the "gold" rush in news domain or... too early?

Comments...

Regards,
T.

Or to stop/start trading altogether. So, I guess, everybody will want to use their API to some degree...

It is useful as an event to signal the need for a test for a regime-change. Basically what Yury is saying in other words.
