Description

We are the leading source of intelligent information for the world's businesses and professionals, providing customers with competitive advantage. Intelligent information is a unique synthesis of human intelligence, industry expertise and innovative technology that provides decision-makers with the knowledge to act, enabling them to make better decisions faster. We deliver this must-have insight to the financial and risk, legal, tax and accounting, intellectual property and science and media markets, powered by the world's most trusted news organization.Text Metadata Services (TMS) is a Research and Development group within Thomson Reuters that develops and maintains platforms and products that are related to text processing and mining. The Algorithms team of TMS does hands-on research in Natural Language Processing, covering entity extraction, events and facts extraction, text classification, and corpus analysis, including the construction of various recommendation systems. On the one hand, we produce production worthy code, but on the other hand we only handle the algorithmic aspects of the tasks, with the integration and framework aspects covered by our development teams.

Most of our work is based on supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques, although we do have some rule-based oriented linguists onboard. Some of the work is dedicated to solving customer problems directly, while some is directed to improve the group’s fundamental capabilities. For example in the course of the last year we have put in production a system that recommends a reviewer to an editor of an academic journal, a system that identifies news on specific oil refineries and generates alerts on an interactive map, a system that identifies mergers and acquisitions in news documents, and several others.

Major areas of accountability:
Solve NLP problems using:
- Machine learning techniques
- Ad hoc algorithms and common sense
- Interact with the product department to ensure optimal application of the algorithms
- Develop machine learning NLP toolkit to allow quick solutions of a large variety of NLP problems
