FinLex: An effective use of word embeddings for financial lexicon generation
We present a simple and effective methodology for the generation of lexicons (word lists) that may be used in natural language scoring applications. In particular, in the finance industry, word lists have become ubiquitous for sentiment scoring. These have been derived from dictionaries such as the...
