About Us

The AI Group is the central engineering group responsible for driving Machine Learning (ML) adoption at Bloomberg, with 200 researchers and engineers working together to provide clients with the best-in-class news, research, market data, and analytics using state of the art machine learning technology We directly impact a wide variety of Bloomberg’s flagship products, including news, research, pricing, our communications platforms and search and discovery tools. We work on a variety of ML disciplines, including natural language processing, information retrieval, time series analysis, and recommender systems.

What We Do

What sets our group apart is end-to-end ownership of our models and services, which are distributed, high-throughput and low latency systems that are collectively called billions of times a day. In order to deliver at such scale, we are building platforms that enable our application-focused ML engineering teams to go from an idea to a model to a scalable service with minimal overhead. We also offer higher-level abstractions and UIs to enable domain experts to easily build, deploy and maintain production ML models for their applications in a self-service manner, with little engineering intervention.
