PROJECTS
Information Extraction for Financial Spreading
● This involved text SEC filings of companies in pdf and extraction of important data points from the text data.
● Used USE and Fasttext Sentence embeddings for extracting sentences which and custom NER model for retrieval of
numbers for autofill of financial spreads.
● Optimized the algorithm and improved prediction time by 80%.

Long short trading strategy by Topic modelling of financial documents

● Segregated 1000 financial documents through unsupervised algorithms like K-means clustering on the document
vectors made by LDA of companies,
● Predicted fundamentals of a company in 20 sectors and 70 subsectors.

Housing customers returning prediction

● This involved a dataset of 400 survey questions of customers and responses and predicting whether they will return.
● Conducted univariate and bivariate analysis for target variable prediction, making new features, and created a Logistic
Regression model on the selected features with 55 KS.

Financial sentiment analysis using earning calls transcripts

● Given the earning call transcripts of CEO’s and CFO’s of different companies, this involved deduction and classification
of their financial sentiments from their transcripts with 86% accuracy.
● Developed a complete pipeline of calculating counts of financial keywords classifying them into 7 different sentiments.
● Classified the sentences in transcripts by state-of-art BERT model by transfer learning.

Predictive modeling in Carry Trade

● This involved portfolio rebalancing for 100 tickers in Carry trade and predicting daily returns.
● Built a feed-forward network and with cross-validation, the best parameters were selected for the LSTM model for
different instruments.
● The alpha of trading strategy comes out to be 0.2.

Mortgage Prepayment Model conversion to Pyspark

● There is history mortgage data from the year 1996 till 2018 for predicting whether a customer is prepaying the mortgage.
● The solution includes making features from the base and predictions of mortgage prepayment based on features.
● Designed a complete data pipeline for preprocessing and feature creation at scale using PySpark and HDFS.

Information retrieval system for 10K-10Q filings based on sentence similarity

● Developed a query-based system to extract and compare information from financial document corpus consisting of
10K-10Q filings.
● Implemented sentence vectors on whole documents and based on their similarity with the given query, retrieved multiple
similar documents with similarity greater than 0.86.
