2017 HousingWire Tech100 Winner: Housing Tides™
Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) March 06, 2017 -- “The companies that make up the 2017 HW TECH100™ are the cream of the crop of the entire housing industry, from real estate to mortgage lending, servicing, and investment,” said HousingWire Senior Financial Reporter Ben Lane. “These companies aren’t just taking part in the housing industry’s technological revolution; they’re leading it.”
Housing Tides is a comprehensive, objective report that synthesizes all of the existing perspectives, predictions and views into one convenient source, enabling efficient, data-based decisions through four powerful components: Market Specific Building Permit Forecasts (Top 41 Metros), Housing Tides Index™, Housing Tides Forecaster Report Card™, Housing Media Analysis, Using IBM Watson® Natural Language Processing. Each component provides its own unique insights to the U.S. homebuilding market as well as adding context to the other components. Collectively, the components are a powerful guide to better understanding the market.
Housing Tides uses machine learning to comprehensively aggregate and analyze the housing media.
As an IBM Watson partner, Housing Tides uses a mix of natural language processing, natural language classification and sentiment analysis to gain insight into the overall direction and sentiment of housing media.
Using IBM Watson tools, Housing Tides not only captures all relevant news flow, but analyzes it for sentiment on a positive to negative scale. This enables Housing Tides to discern overall sentiment movement as well as sentiment by media source, author and other perspectives.
Additionally, Housing Tides uses machine learning to identify and capture forecasts made across the media sources it aggregates.
“The companies in the 2017 HW Tech100 cover the entire mortgage finance spectrum. There's hardly a corner of our industry that hasn't been transformed in some way, either by fintech startups focusing on a specific software need or legacy companies evolving to compete in the new environment,” said HousingWire Magazine Editor Sarah Wheeler. “Now more than ever, these companies are delivering the innovation this industry needs to do its most important job: supporting the American Dream.”
