Bloomberg’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) group: researchers and engineers who have a passion for solving complex problems. Their charter: to extract and identify relevant, meaningful, tradable, and actionable information (such as pricing, earnings, recommendations, and major events) from data (including news, web, social media, and structured data) in real-time. Since their customers rely on this information to make swift financial decisions, they guarantee precision, accuracy, and latency numbers beyond most academic and industry standards.

They aren’t just building customer-facing products, as the infrastructure and algorithms they develop are themselves used across the company. They also publish papers, attend conferences, organize workshops, and contribute back to the larger data science community whenever they can (seehttps://www.techatbloomberg.com/nlp/ andhttps://bloomberg.com/company/d4gx/).
