Harnessing Keyword Extraction Heuristics for Business Acquisitions

2023-08-15

Finding properly categorized data can often be a challenging task. To address this, I developed a strategy that efficiently identifies phrases indicative of specific business industries without being resource-intensive.

The Power of Document Embeddings

The journey begins with the extraction of document embeddings. This process transforms complex, unstructured business texts into structured, document-level representations.

Insightful Word Embeddings

Moving forward, we delve into word embeddings for N-gram words/phrases. This phase is crucial for grasping the specific language and context unique to various industries and businesses. It's about understanding the subtle nuances that define each sector.

Refining with Cosine Similarity

The final piece of the puzzle is applying cosine similarity. This method isn't just about the scale of a business's narrative; it's focused on how closely these narratives align with our targeted criteria. It's a refined approach to sifting through the noise and identifying the narratives that matter.

Strategic Advantages for Business Acquisitions

This approach offers a strategic advantage in business acquisitions. It provides a nuanced, efficient way to sift through vast amounts of textual data to identify businesses with strong, positive value propositions. This method is cost-efficient and effective, especially compared to more resource-intensive machine-learning models. While this keyword extraction method is efficient, it's not perfect - false identifications do happen. But it's a lot more practical than setting up a complex neural network, which can be expensive and time-consuming. Sure, neural networks are powerful, but they're often overkill for what you need. This approach hits a sweet spot, offering good enough accuracy without breaking the bank or bogging you down in tech details.
