Text Analysis and Sentiment Analysis with Applications to Finance 2018
TASA Learning Objectives
Since information mostly exists in language data, the TASA course presents tools and concepts for text data with a strong focus on modeling the econometric effects of language or more specific sentiment. It presents the decision analytics in a way that is understandable for non-mathematicians and practitioners who are confronted with day to day number crunching statistical textual analysis. This course details the development of textual analysis and sentiment projection, and compare the pros and cons of them. The TASA course endows the practitioner with ready to use practical tools for these purposes and applications. All practical examples may be recalculated and modified: software and Quantlets are in www.quantlet.de.
Lecturers
- Wolfgang Härdle (University of Berlin)
- Cathy Yi-Hsuan Chen (University of Berlin)
Schedule of the course:
Data are everywhere and the ubiquitous availability of huge amounts of data makes it necessary to develop smart data analytics. Out of the plethora of tools that are available for many scientific disciplines this course offers for the common data analyst an easy access to all levels of analysis without deep computer programming knowledge. Python is becoming the lingua franca, and can be easily applied for the analysis involved textual data. TASA provides a wide variety of exercises, with Python or R step-by-step demonstrations for web-scraping, Natural Language Processing combined with statistical learning methods.
