One of the cores of their applied technology is text mining that converts text information into numerical data, which has evolved through deep learning. Big data has dramatically expanded the amount of input data to asset management models, and advanced prediction models have been developed by analyzing these data using deep learning. On the other hand, AI has brought about the harmful effect of making the model a black box.
