An intelligent information retrieval and processing system for financial databases
EF 2007-08
Résumé
The proposed work will refine and apply our innovative signal processing technologies to develop powerful search and processing tools/software for financial databases. These advanced technologies include content-based information retrieval (CB1R), statistical signal processing and adaptive filtering, and advanced computational intelligence. Our initial product will be FinancialSharp - a software platform of novel tools to support content-based search/retrieval, customized analysis, and intelligent decision-making for sophisticated financial professionals. Our software and services will maximize the competency of our customers in the financial industry by:Enabling financial professionals to make smarter investment decisions with greatly increased flexibility andquality of financial data analysis and supporting intelligent decision making.Empowering financial professionals to conduct complicated analyses with more confidence, thereby reducingthe need for costly research support.The objective of the proposed Phase I project is to develop a demo prototype of FinancialSharp. The long-term (Phase II) objective of the project will be to spin-off a start-up company to develop and market FinancialSharp and other related intelligent financial information processing software products to the financial services industry.The project team is composed of leading technology researchers and developers, financial professionals, interface design and marketing experts. Our technologies and product concepts have received enthusiastic feedback from investment professionals. Several investment firms indicated that they would evaluate an investment opportunity in our project if we demonstrate a feasible FinancialSharp prototype.
