Dow Jones News Analytics

Delivering enhanced data and analytics
Dow Jones News Analytics is powered by RavenPack's proprietary computational linguistics and artificial intelligence technology. This innovative tool transforms news into enhanced news data such as sentiment, novelty and relevance.

• Sentiment analysis of the news leverages two classification techniques—Expert consensus and key word/phrase identification, and identifies whether a news story is positive, negative or neutral.
• Novelty determines whether a news item is appearing for the first time or is an update to a previously published story.
• Relevance provides a numeric indication of the extent to which a story is about a particular company, enabling users to focus on key stories and avoid those in which a company is merely mentioned.

Direct feed & historical archive: data delivered how you want it
Dow Jones News Analytics offers clients a file of more than eight years of historical sentiment data to minimize setup time and facilitate back-testing. Current data is delivered through a customizable feed, allowing users to filter important content and programmatically integrate the data into trading applications and statistical software packages.

The direct feed provides a stream of current news sentiment through an easy to use Application Programming Interface (API) that facilitates quick programmatic integration into the user's trading applications.
