Text and Context: Language Analytics in Finance

Sanjiv Ranjan Das

Foundations and Trends(R) in Finance, 2014, vol. 8, issue 3, 145-261

Abstract: This monograph surveys the technology and empirics of text analytics in finance. I present various tools of information extraction and basic text analytics. I survey a range of techniques of classification and predictive analytics, and metrics used to assess the performance of text analytics algorithms. I then review the literature on text mining and predictive analytics in finance, and its connection to networks, covering a wide range of text sources such as blogs, news, web posts, corporate filings, etc. I end with textual content presenting forecasts and predictions about future directions.
