Patent number: 11907672Abstract: Computer-readable media, systems and methods may improve classification of content based on a machine-learning natural language processing (ML-NLP) classifier. The system may train a general language model based on a general corpus, further train the general language model based on a domain-specific corpus to generate a domain-specific language model, and conduct supervised machine-learning based on the domain-specific language using topic-specific corpus labeled as relating to topics of interest to generate the ML-NLP classifier. Accordingly, the ML-NLP classifier may be trained on a general corpus, further trained on a domain-specific corpus, and fine-tuned on a topic-specific corpus. In this manner, domain-specific content may be classified into topics of interest. The ML-NLP classifier may classify content into the topics of interest.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: REFINITIV US ORGANIZATION LLCInventors: Tim Nugent, Matt Harding, Jochen Lothar Leidner

Patent number: 11869083Abstract: The invention relates to systems and methods for distributing market data. In one implementation, the system may generate a new encryption key at each market data update, and use that key to encrypt each market participant's data in that update before it is sent. Among other factors, characteristics of modern computer networks may cause participants to be sent (and to receive) their encrypted data in that update at different times. After the participants have all been sent their data in that update the system may then simultaneously transmit to those participants the key that will enable them to decipher their data. In an implementation, the key may be transmitted via a multicast transport protocol which can be used to ensure all recipients receive it at the same time. In this manner the invention may ensure that although participants receive their data in a given update at different times, they are unable to decipher that data until substantially the same time.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Refinitiv US Organization LLCInventor: Hayden Paul Melton

Publication number: 20230401637Abstract: Systems and methods to facilitate credit risk assessment are described herein. The systems and methods described herein relate to implementing and training a credit risk model comprising a document model and a company model. The document model may be configured to read text of a document, understand long range relationships between words, phrases, and the occurrence of one or more financial events, and create a document score that indicates whether the financial events are likely to occur based on that document. A document-model-state vector may be generated that represents important features and relationships identified within each document and across a set of documents for a given entity based on the document scores. The company model may produce a sequence of default probability scores representing overall likelihoods of the occurrence of the financial events for an entity based on the document-model-state vector for documents associated with that entity.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: Refinitiv US Organization LLCInventors: Ryan ROSER, Adam BRONSTEIN

Publication number: 20230401640Abstract: An electronic trading venue (ETV) may prioritize maker orders that specify or are associated with cancel delay values by selecting a maker order to be matched with taker orders before competing maker orders, at the same price level for a given instrument, that have smaller or no cancel delay values. Such prioritization may occur even if the competing maker orders were received before the maker order. A cancel delay value indicates an amount of time that must pass after a request to cancel a maker order is received before the ETV actually cancels the maker order. Thus, in exchange for prioritization, maker orders will be subject to a cancelation delay that starts after a cancel request is received and during which a maker order will not be canceled. Takers may benefit from this by being able to match with a maker order before it can be canceled.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: Refinitiv US Organization LLCInventor: Hayden Paul MELTON

Patent number: 11798077Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for providing a latency floor for an electronic trading venue in which market participants who can respond within the value the floor and choose to compete in a specific race to make or take a price may each have a substantially equal chance of winning that race. The system may detect and distinguish individual “races” that occur on an electronic trading venue. Upon detection of the first order (or message) in such a race, the system may create a batch and a timer for that race. As orders pertaining to that race are received, they are added to its batch. Upon the timer reaching a predetermined value, typically the value of the floor, the race is determined to have ended and the orders are drained from the batch for processing (e.g., against the instrument's central limit order book (CLOB)).Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2019Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Refinitiv US Organization LLCInventor: Hayden Paul Melton

Publication number: 20230051532Abstract: The disclosure relates to non-blocking messaging in an electronic trading venue (ETV) in which a matching engine sends groups of price-compatible contra-orders to a credit engine. Doing so may improve the ETV's efficacy and performance by eliminating the need for multiple roundtrips of messages in the case of a failed credit check, and/or by allowing the ETV to more faithfully implement its matching rules. Upon sending an order to the credit engine the matching engine marks it as ‘uncertain’ to indicate that additional requests received on it (e.g., cancels) must also be forwarded to the credit engine. When all pending requests on an order have been acknowledged by the credit engine the matching engine unmarks it as such. In addition to credit checking the credit engine may also perform computations related to advanced order types (e.g., icebergs) indicating the output of such in its acknowledgements to the matching engine.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2022Publication date: February 16, 2023Applicant: REFINITIV US ORGANIZATION LLCInventor: Hayden Melton

Publication number: 20220358150Abstract: Systems and methods may use natural language processing (NLP) and machine-learning techniques to detect an impact that an event will have on a domain-specific topic. For example, the system may use multi-stage cleaning using a rules-based and an artificial intelligence (AI)-based filter to filter large quantities of event items that may not be relevant to a domain of interest. The AI-based filter may be trained using labeled event items that were previously known to be impactful. The system may cluster the cleaned event items to group similar event items and eliminate redundancy. The system may then predict and quantify the impact that events described by clustered event items will have on the domain-specific topic. Such prediction may be based on a classifier trained using various model features that correlate with impactful events, including prior similar events.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2022Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: REFINITIV US ORGANIZATION LLCInventors: Nitish Ramkumar, Joseph Whyte, Ben Chu, Jason Chan, Swarnima Sircar, Kelvin Rocha, Regan Tuck, Alena Melnikova
