  • Kai Wu - Mining Unstructured Data for the Intangible (S5E6)

    Kai Wu - Mining Unstructured Data for the Intangible (S5E6)
    Jul 3 2022
    My guest in this episode is Kai Wu, CEO and founder of Sparkline Capital.

    Kai is a pioneer in the measurement of intangible value. Using machine learning, he tackles unstructured data sources like patent filings, earnings transcripts, LinkedIn network connections, and GitHub code repositories to try to measure value across the four key pillars of Brand, Intellectual Property, Network, and Human Capital.

    We discuss why intangibles are important, how they differ from the traditional factor zoo, the opportunities and risks of unstructured data, and how even big data can have small data problems within it.

    Finally, we discuss Kai’s most recent applications of his research to the world of crypto.

    Please enjoy my conversation with Kai Wu.
