ProntoNLP's AlphaLLM Aspect-Themes with Consensus signal introduces a groundbreaking Cartesian approach to analyzing earnings calls. This innovation combines horizontal Aspects (Forecast, StrategicPosition, CurrentState, Surprise) with vertical Themes (FinancialPerformance, OperationalPerformance, StrategicInitiatives, etc.) to create a rich multidimensional feature space.
By representing corporate events as coordinates in this Aspect x Theme x Importance x Polarity grid, the model captures nuanced relationships between sentiment, thematic emphasis, and market impact that traditional linear NLP approaches miss.
