Description & Requirements

Bloomberg Law, Tax & Government (BLAW / BTAX / BGOV) delivers AI-powered solutions that integrate trusted editorial content and billions of documents and data points into the workflows of legal, tax, accounting, and government professionals. Our mission is to be an indispensable resource, empowering our users to make faster, smarter decisions and better serve their clients and constituents.

The Information Enrichment & Content Generation (IECG) Team builds scalable ML solutions for two key areas :

Information Enrichment : Traditional NLP use-cases such as Named Entity Recognition / Disambiguation, classification, topical modeling etc.

Content Generation : Generative use-cases such as Summarization, Drafting new documents, Generating legal insights, on-point recommendation systems etc.

We are currently focused on developing advanced research and drafting tools designed to speed up those tasks for our customers by letting AI do the heavy-lifting. These tools let users upload a document, then automatically classify it, structure its contents and analyze the text by identifying topics, extracting entities and suggesting highly relevant references. Some of the specific problems we are working on this year include extracting pragmatics & judicial reasoning of legal cases, drafting legal contracts, analyzing the congressional budget along with governments actual spending and generating insights to support tax positions.

To solve these, we apply a range of ML / NLP techniques including statistical models, deep neural networks, language models & third-party generative LLMs. We work closely with product managers, software engineers and domain experts in an agile environment.

In general, Machine Learning projects have an intrinsic dose of uncertainty, so a good fit for our team is a person who is self-driven, proactive, comfortable dealing with uncertainty and ambiguity in task definition. Were a highly collaborative team, both internally and across other teams, so being a teammate and an effective communicator are important for success in our team.
