Goldman Sachs has emerged as the largest investor in a financial analyticsstart-up that enables institutions to mine a wealth of big data,underscoringWall Street’s drive to tap technology.

高盛(Goldman Sachs)成為一家金融分析初創(chuàng)公司的最大投資者，后者讓金融機構挖掘大數(shù)據(jù)。此舉凸顯出華爾街在投資技術方面的動力。

Goldman led a $15m round of financing in Kensho,an analytics platform thatcan instantly answer millions of complex financial questions by automatingpreviously human-intensive research. The bank will roll out the platformacross its business as well as to some of its big clients.

Kensho是一個數(shù)據(jù)分析平臺，可以自動完成過去人力密集型的研究，即刻回答數(shù)以百萬計的復雜金融問題。高盛為其牽頭完成一輪1500萬美元的融資。該行將在自己的各個業(yè)務部門部署這一平臺，并將其推廣給一些大客戶。

Kensho,which has been likened to a Siri-style service for investors,analystsand traders,enables them to ask questions such as,“what happens to UShomebuilder stocks if a category three hurricane makes landfall?”

Kensho被比作為面向投資者、分析師和交易員的Siri風格的服務，讓他們提出自然語言的問題，如：“如果3級颶風登陸，美國住宅開發(fā)商板塊的股票會怎么樣?”

Data scientists estimate that 80 per cent of all data come in unstructuredform; being able to quickly analyse this wealth of information is the holy grailfor banks seeking to use big data to augment their business.

數(shù)據(jù)科學家估計，80%的數(shù)據(jù)以非結構化形式出現(xiàn);能夠迅速分析如此豐富信息的平臺，是那些尋求利用大數(shù)據(jù)增進業(yè)務的銀行夢寐以求的神器。

“Wall Street historically was constrained to playing in the 20 per cent of datathat move markets,” said Daniel Nadler,Kensho chief executive. “Every WallStreet bank could only look at – with any real speed or automation – financialstatistics: p/E ratios,and book value and market cap and similar things.”

“一直以來，華爾街都受困于只能利用20%足以影響市場的數(shù)據(jù)，”Kensho的首席執(zhí)行官丹尼爾?納德勒(Daniel Nadler)稱，“每一家華爾街銀行只能以實際速度或自動化的方式，看那些金融數(shù)據(jù)：市盈率(p/E ratios)，賬面價值(book value)，市值(marketcap)和類似數(shù)據(jù)。

He said not being able to quickly analyse hard-to-structure events – centralbank announcements,geopolitical events,weather phenomena,technologyproduct releases – was “trying to see the world with not only one eyecovered,but one eye covered and the other eye half-closed.”

他表示，不能快速分析那些難以結構化的事件——央行公告、地緣政治事件、天氣現(xiàn)象以及科技產品發(fā)布——相當于“在看世界時不僅是一只眼被遮住，而且是一只眼被遮住、另一只眼半閉著?！?/p>

Initially called “Warren” in a nod to both the billionaire octogenarian investorWarren Buffett and the IBM supercomputer known as “Watson”,the platformhas been rebranded to match the company’s name,Kensho,partly onGoldman’s advice.

該平臺最初命名為“沃倫”，意在向80多歲的億萬富豪沃倫?巴菲特(Warren Buffett)和IBM公司的超級計算機“沃森”(Watson)致敬。后來在高盛的建議下，該平臺已改名為“Kensho”，跟公司名保持一致。
