Features of FMeasure M&A Service
Results are with EXPLANATIONS
Different from most other artificial intelligence systems, our system provides human readable explanations for the results. Machine makes mistakes. That is why explanations are important. Once people are able to see where the results come from, good results can be associated with high confidence, and bad results can be easily ruled out.
Extensive Coverage of GLOBAL Companies
Our knowledgebase covers global companies, both listed and unlisted. We initially focus on those companies in the US, Canada and China, and we are growing the geographical coverage to other countries soon.
Multi-Language Support
Our built-in machine translation module can translate English queries into other languages such as Chinese and then search in native languages. Users are also allowed to input queries in languages other than English like Chinese and Japanese. These queries will then be translated into English and used to search against English resources.
M&A Transaction Ideas
Our machines track the M&A market closely, and use artificial intelligence to generate M&A transaction ideas. Those daily updated ideas will help M&A practitioners in deal origination, and are also useful for investors to analyze private and public capital markets.
