Automation of public disclosure document classification and scoring using PDF text extraction and Natural Language Processing
FY 2020-21 · 2021-02-01
Summary
This project is looking to automate the classification and scoring of publicly traded companies' disclosures using Natural Language Processing (NLP) models. We are looking to classify pages as either positive or negative samples in order to reduce the number of pages reviewed by at least 50% while retaining at least 95% of positive samples. We are also looking to automate scoring of public disclosure documents relative to a framework with a set of specific criteria. Both objectives involve PDF text extraction and NLP as well as comprehensive data gathering and cleaning.

Description
This project is looking to automate the classification and scoring of publicly traded companies' disclosures using Natural Language Processing (NLP) models. We are looking to classify pages as either positive or negative samples in order to reduce the number of pages reviewed by at least 50% while retaining at least 95% of positive samples. We are also looking to automate scoring of public disclosure documents relative to a framework with a set of specific criteria. Both objectives involve PDF text extraction and NLP as well as comprehensive data gathering and cleaning.
Description (French)
Ce projet vise à automatiser la classification et la notation des divulgations des sociétés cotées en bourse en utilisant des modèles de traitement du langage naturel (TLN). Nous cherchons à classer les pages comme échantillons positifs ou négatifs afin de réduire le nombre de pages examinées d'au moins 50 % tout en conservant au moins 95 % des échantillons positifs. Nous cherchons également à automatiser la notation des documents de divulgation publique par rapport à un cadre comportant un ensemble de critères précis. Ces deux objectifs comprennent l'extraction de texte PDF et le traitement du langage naturel, ainsi que la collecte et le nettoyage complets des données.
