We have tens of thousands of Smart Synonyms in the AlphaSense platform. With a mission to augment knowledge workersβ research across sectors, how do we prioritize which ones to add next?
AI is a buzzword, but at AlphaSense, itβs what powers our search engine and drives our clients to make more informed decisions every day.
Our platform uses machine learning to expand your query, delivering the most relevant results available on your topic. We call this automated expansion of your search terms Smart Synonyms.TM
Hereβs an example: Letβs say youβre tasked with understanding the latest activity related to driverless cars, and so you search the phrase, autonomous vehicles,in AlphaSense. Your search query will surface results that mention that specific term, but also results that mention driverless, autonomous carsor self-driving vehicles, etc.:
By using the power of augmented intelligence to overcome the variation in human language, Smart Synonyms capture all relevant information on a subject and help our clients to make more informed decisions.
Among the industry-specific Smart Synonyms already live in the AlphaSense platform, many sectors are covered, from Finance to Healthcare to Emerging Tech. Over time, our algorithm gets smarter, and weβre able to deliver increasingly relevant and expanded results for a term.
But weβre not stopping there.
We continue to add Smart Synonyms to the platform to give our clients an unparalleled view into the markets theyβre following or subjects theyβre researching. With a range of industries and themes to cover, and dozens of clients requesting Smart Synonyms on topics important to their work, creating the right strategy for scaling Smart Synonyms has taken a bit of thinking. Hereβs how weβre managing it:
We align releases of Smart Synonyms with content releases
Our datasets are ever expanding, for example, adding expanded IR presentation coverage and data from key macroeconomic sources in the last quarter.
Industry-specific Smart Synonym pairings are often centered around the release of new content. This helps our customers get the most value out of new datasets. For example, when we added healthcare regulatory content, we concurrently trained our algorithm to recognize synonyms for healthcare terminology.
We listen to clients and prioritize by impact
Our clients are vocal about submitting requests for new Smart Synonyms. We track all requests and prioritize them by a few criteria:
- Do they align with our datasets?
- Are various clients asking for them?
- Have we heard similar requests from our internal client-facing team, such as our sales team, account managers, and product specialists?
Whatβs next for Smart Synonyms
As we launch new content onto our platform, weβll roll out related Smart Synonyms. Weβll continue to add new Smart Synonyms as we grow and scale.
