Detection of Financial Opportunities in Micro-Blogging Data With a Stacked Classification System

Abstract

Micro-blogging sources such as the Twitter social network provide valuable real-time data for market prediction models. Investors' opinions in this network follow the fluctuations of the stock markets and often include educated speculations on market opportunities that may have impact on the actions of other investors. In view of this, we propose a novel system to detect positive predictions in tweets, a type of financial emotions which we term "opportunities" that are akin to "anticipation" in Plutchik's theory. Specifically, we seek a high detection precision to present a financial operator a substantial amount of such tweets while differentiating them from the rest of financial emotions in our system. We achieve it with a three-layer stacked Machine Learning classification system with sophisticated features that result from applying Natural Language Processing techniques to extract valuable linguistic information. Experimental results on a dataset that has been manually annotated with financial emotion and ticker occurrence tags demonstrate that our system yields satisfactory and competitive performance in financial opportunity detection, with precision values up to 83%. This promising outcome endorses the usability of our system to support investors' decision making.

Financial Accounting Information Data Analysis System Based on Internet of Things

“…Establishment of Index System. It is one of the demands of the capital market to conduct real-time analysis of the enterprise's finance, timely find abnormal financial data, and give an early warning [15]. erefore, it is necessary to follow the principles of authenticity, systematization, scientificity, and feasibility when constructing the financial index system.…”

Abnormal Data Monitoring and Analysis Based on Data Mining and Neural Network

“…Through data mining of these abnormal financial indicators, find one or several abnormal transmission paths connecting them. If there are economically meaningful items on the abnormal transmission path, this abnormal transmission path is of great significance to enterprises [2,3].…”

These specific choices were selected based on their good performance in similar problems [ 4 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]: Decision Tree (DT) (available at , accessed on 15 August 2021); Gradient Descent (GD) (available at , accessed on 15 August 2021); Random Forest (RF) (available at , accessed on 15 August 2021); Support Vector Classification (SVC) (available at , accessed on 15 August 2021). …”

“…We tried different ML algorithms using the implementations in the Scikit-Learn Python library. These specific choices were selected based on their good performance in similar problems [4,[52][53][54] Table 1 shows their performance with 10-fold cross validation. The best algorithm for our application was Decision Tree with 80.7% precision, 79.8% recall, 80.0% accuracy and 79.7% F1 score.…”
