Abstract:
1. A computerized method, comprising: identifying an event having an association with a financial instrument; classifying, by a modeling computer system, said event into at least one of a plurality of predefined event classes, each predefined event class being associated with a set of similar events; retrieving, by the modeling computer system, media data associated with media coverage of said event and extracting data elements from said media data, wherein said data elements include at least one quantified communication parameter including at least one of a short term media coverage volume, a publication weight, a tonal balance, and an impact of available photographs; retrieving, by the modeling computer system, current financial parameters associated with said financial instrument; generating, by the modeling computer system as an intermediate result of the method, a prediction of upcoming media coverage of said event including a predicted volume and tonality of said upcoming media coverage, wherein said intermediate result is generated using the modeling computer system, a numerical model, said extracted data elements, information about said predefined event class, and said current financial parameters; generating, using the modeling computer system and using a numerical model and said extracted data elements, information about said predefined event class, said current financial parameters and said intermediate result, a predicted financial impact of said event; and outputting, from the modeling computer system, the predicted financial impact of said event.
