Diepholz/Bremen - June 21, 2018: Information advantage is decisive, not only at the stock exchange. And nowhere does information spread faster than on the Internet. artec technologies AG, specialist for intelligent and user-defined applications in the processing and analysis of audiovisual data, now offers companies from the publishing and media industry the opportunity to build up audiovisual information portals on a wide range of topics from politics, business, stock markets to lifestyle and sports. In these, users receive prepared video clips with information from TV, radio and the online world including social media on their personal search parameters in real time or on-demand. In addition, tools such as sentiment analysis and fake news recognition support the classification of content. Operators have the opportunity to provide high-quality and quickly available content that offers real added value. The result: users are willing to pay for the services.

'Classical media are in competition with Google & Co. and must break new ground in order to open up sources of revenue with a future. User experience, simple payment processes and especially high added value are the key to establishing payment models,' says artec CEO Thomas Hoffmann. 'Modern consumer behaviour must be taken into account. More and more people inform themselves almost exclusively online and preferably about audiovisual content. artec technology meets this behaviour 100%.'

Application example: Stock exchange: excess return through real-time information and data mining
The performance and added value of artec technology can be demonstrated using the example of a possible app in the area of stock market information for private and institutional investors: As soon as the user has entered his search terms such as the name of a listed company or a stock market index, relevant news is searched for on TV, radio and the online world including social media. In principle, all available stations and URLs worldwide can be included. The user decides on the frequency of his personal update as a push message. In the case of hits, sequences of variable length are provided as video clips. In addition, all content is filtered through sentiment analyses and various other tools. This so-called data mining can provide decision-making aids for the right investment strategy. All this can be done in real time to give the user a head start in information and analysis. The aim: to identify investment opportunities at an early stage and achieve excess returns.

Technology with Proof-of-Concept
These value-added services from artec are based on the XENTAURIX cloud platform with cognitive engines for the analysis of audiovisual data introduced in 2017. As Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), powerful computer programs are provided to browse, analyze, process and produce new content. Since the second quarter of 2018, the XENTAURIX cloud has been used successfully by a leading European media group in everyday editorial work.
