More complex algorithms are gradually emerging that can write not only dry reports of incidents, but also full-fledged texts. Automated Insights from North Carolina created the Wordsmith platform, which generates related texts based on a set of data. It does not simply fill in the blanks, but writes its own texts. The program collects data from financial reports, extracts the most important ones, compares them with general economic information and forms news notes on income.

Wordsmith can write 2,000 notes per second. The service has created more than a billion materials per year. Previously, Associated Press journalists wrote 300 financial reports per quarter, and now the agency publishes 4.4 thousand notes on company income.

Wordsmith users also include Samsung, Yahoo!, Comcast, and the New York Times. In addition to financial reports, they order sports articles from the service. Compare two articles published in the New York Times. One was written by a human, and the other by a robot.

"Things looked bleak for the Angels when they trailed by two runs in the ninth, but Los Angeles rallied with a key hit from Vladimir Gurrero that allowed them to snatch a 7-6 victory."

"The University of Michigan baseball team used a fifth-pitch fourth-run norway mobile phone numbers database shot to salvage the finale of a three-week series against Iowa, winning 7-5 on Saturday night (April 24)."


The algorithm analyzes not only the data of a specific match, but also the background, for example, information about how a particular athlete played in previous matches.

Narrative Science co-founder Larry Birnbaum also spoke at a conference about how he would like to create a system that would select topics for texts, edit them, and choose which audience to distribute certain materials to.

Forbes uses Quill, a service from Chicago-based Narrative Science, to create lengthy texts about companies' expected financial results. To do this, the program uses statistical data on the company's development, as well as information on key financial concepts such as bankruptcy, revenue, and profit, as well as the relationship between these concepts.
