Generating Articles From Time Series Data

We turn data into natural language stories with our flexible NLG system.

Challenge

In a crowded digital content marketplace, it is difficult and/or expensive for data-driven businesses to attract SEO traffic because they produce very little “original content”. Two clients approached us independently at the same time with this very problem - a Spanish deal aggregator and a U.S.-based cryptocurrency portal.

Solution

We created Graphomania, a NLG system that uncovers stories hidden in time series data and tells them in the form of natural language summaries. It can generate hundreds of such stories per second and requires no human maintenance.

Example Summary

BTC Stabilized Around $750

After the steep fall of last month, Bitcoin price has stabilized around $7,500 this week. Today’s maximum was $7,536.62 with the market cap of $0.127T before a minor correction appeared around 2:00 AM UTC. Since then, BTC was traded for approximately $7,450 and closed the day even lower, at $7,437.43, with -1.11% day-over-day drop.

According to LongForecast, it is still not the best time to buy for long-term traders as Bitcoin price is projected to fall even more until May next year, when it’s expected to gain traction again.
