Job Summary Seeking an experienced programmer (Perl, Python, or otherwise) for engagement in long-term freelance work. A background in NLP is preferred, but not required. Pay is commensurate with experience and is hourly-based. Project Background The SEC stores various text files they receive from companies on their Edgar website. The files typically contain detailed discussions of companies’ performance as well as financial data summarizing their performance. Attached is a random sample of 15 full .txt files from 5 different years with a file type of “10-K” from Edgar. You will find files which embed HTML, SGML, or XBRL code, in addition to tables, special characters, images, and other embedded files, such as PDF, etc. Task Outline 1. Discuss how you would extract the following sections from the 10-K: Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), Risk Factors, and Notes to the Financial Statements. 2. Discuss how you would flatten each section extracted to raw text. That is, remove all code, tables, images, or embedded files. 3. Discuss any outstanding issues, questions, or concerns regarding the steps above. For example, discuss weaknesses in your approach to identifying section and sentence boundaries. 4. Discuss how you would ensure the accuracy of section extraction. For example, not locating a section when it exists or, if the section is found, not locating the proper starting or stopping point. Apply For full consideration, please reply to this add, with your responses to the above tasks, by May 15, 2015. We are an equal opportunity employer. Work permits or visas are not required.

Hello, I am the premier Perl scripting expert on these freelancing sites. I am interested in your project, but specifications are vague. I endorse Perl for this task. The primary advantage is the existence of public domain packages (modules) to access data in various formats. We shall know more when you provide a full description of your task. A milestone payment for the full budget for your project must be deposited with this site before your offer can be accepted. Alan Idler Chief Software Architect Idleswell Software Creations

Hello Sir, I went through you requirement and sample files, here is my proposal: I will use Perl to develop since Perl is the best language for HTML/XML handling and text manipulation. and there are lots of Perl modules available for that. About your task outline: 1). How to extract MD&A, Risk Factors etc. It seems that these sections are always included in HTML files, but they appear with different tags from different files(sometimes in <div> tags and sometimes in <p> and <td/tr> tags). If we can assume that these sections are always defined first in the "Table of Content" table, then we can use HTML::TreeBuilder or something similar to extract all texts until the starting tag of next Item that follows the section being extracted in "Table of Content". State Machine is preferable for this purpose. 2). HTML::TreeBuilder or HTML::parser(actually all HTML related modules) can flatten html tags into raw text perfectly. 3) and 4). There are two weaknesses: a). the solution is based on an assumption that the sections are always defined in "Table of Content". b). if a section is the last Item in "Table of Content" then there is no way to find the starting tag of the next Item. One way i can think about that will work ultimately is to keep adding the patterns the sections appear in html, then for all coming html string stream of file, iterate all ready known patterns until a given pattern can return the text of the section being scanned. Contact me for any concerns, thank you!

Dear Employer; We have experience in similar kind of projects and have implemented such projects sucessfully before. Here is a small explanation on how the task could be achieved sucessfully, the text files could be stuidied for the patterns of the data required and the data can be extracted using pattern matching in perl by utilising the keywords on which the dat is required and the logger for the website for which the text files have been created. The data extracted can be converted into a tabular format or any template in HTML as per analysis and can be auomated with the scripts running regularly on the text files and extracting data. Project Conception, strategy and design Meeting with team to understand the requirements and provide documentation on project conception code devlopment to acheive the task Development of the project scripts done in sprints ongoing progress assessment.
