PART II: INVESTMENT / SENTIMENT ANALYSIS WITH NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING (NLP)
Introduction to Natural Language Processing & Sentiment Analysis in Finance
Gain an overview of what Natural Language Processing (NLP) is in the context of Finance.
Discover the wealth of applications of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques in Finance, both in the academic and practitioner literature - for Context, Compliance, and Quantitative Analysis (aka, at least in principle, financial analysis / investment analysis).
Explore what Sentiment Analysis is, and learn about the Fervent 5 Step Sentiment Analysis Process to help you conduct sentiment investing in a rigorous and statistically robust manner.
Hypothesis Design & Exploratory Data Analysis
Learn how you can formally express your Finance investment ideas / investing thesis by transforming them into testable hypotheses that are short, ultra-specific, and measurable.
Explore the wealth of data sources available, and how you can let your financial hypothesis drive the choice of data.
Avoid the "GIGO Trap". See what it takes to really know your financial data with exploratory data analysis techniques designed to hold you in good stead when you get around to conducting sentiment-based financial analysis / investment analysis using Python.
Estimating Firm-Level Sentiment
Become a pro at quantifying sentiment/emotions of companies from scratch using Python, so you can use them for financial analysis / investment analysis.
Apply lexicon / dictionary based approaches to estimating sentiment on Python while critically evaluating alternative approaches (e.g. using "machine learning" based approaches and why they can't be applied in some cases).
Explore computations of sentiment "manually", leveraging the power of built-in methods inside Python's NLTK framework.
Estimating Sentiment Portfolio Returns
Link / merge your firm-level sentiment estimates with stock price and returns data on Python to evaluate relationships between sentiment and stock returns (reap the rewards of your hard work by finally conducting sentiment analysis!).
Discover how to merge daily data with annual data, while using the "ffill" method built into Python (Pandas) to maintain a daily dataset with ease.
Estimate quintile sorted sentiment portfolio returns and prep the data on Python for the final push.
Sentiment / Natural Language Processing (NLP) based Investment Analysis
Avoid guesswork by leveraging the power of statistics to rigorously test and validate your hypothesis in a robust manner on Python.
Gain a solid insight into why the statistics makes sense, including why we use a specific statistical test (the t-test)
Explore what to do when things don't quite go the way you expected them to. And finally, learn whether the sentiment of a stock actually matters for financial / investment performance.
DESIGNED FOR DISTINCTION™
We've used the same tried and tested, proven to work teaching techniques that've helped our clients ace their exams and become chartered certified accountants, get hired by the most renowned investment banks in the world, and indeed, manage their own portfolios.
Here's how we'll help you master financial analysis and sentiment analysis, and turn you into a PRO at Financial Analysis / Investment Analysis with Natural Language Processing (NLP) on Python:
A Solid Foundation
You’ll gain a solid foundation of the core fundamentals that drive the entire financial analysis / investment analysis process. These fundamentals are the essence of financial analysis and sentiment analysis done right.
