Abstract: Techniques related to a system for news classification comprising one or more non-transitory memory devices and one or more hardware processors configured to execute instructions from the one or more non-transitory memory devices to cause the system to receive an article, the article including text, extract text from the received article, store the extracted text in a database, determine a set of potential target entities based on the extracted text, determine a classification of the article for each potential target entity of the set of potential target entities for a category, valence, presence of litigation, rumor, or opinion based on the extracted text, associate the classification of the article, along with a probability of the determined classification of the article for each potential target entity, assign the classification of the article if the probability of the classification is greater than a threshold probability, and store the classification of the article and the probability.

Abstract: The present invention relate to a method and system to predict the likelihood of data topics that may occur from data sources. The likelihood of the data topics may be predicted over other dimensions of time or over other dimensions. In the present invention, a topic means a defining characteristic, usually represented as a data element, of a single feature, activity, subject, behavior, event or an aggregation of such defining characteristics.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include methods and systems for predicting the likelihood of topics appearing in a set of data such as text. A number of latent variable methods are used to convert the data into a set of topics, topic values and topic profiles. A number of time-course methods are used to model how topic values change given previous topic profiles, or to find historical times with similar topic values and then projecting the topic profile forward from that historical time to predict the likelihood of the topics appearing. Embodiments include utilizing focus topics, such as valence topics, and data representing financial measures to predict the likelihood of topics. Methods and systems for modeling data and predicting the likelihood of topics over other dimensions are also contemplated.
