Sentiment in Blogging Community and Its Effects on Wall Street
Team Members
Introduction
Our emotions affect our actions. In this project, I would like to apply sentiment analysis techniques to study the general emotional state of LiveJournal,a virtual community, and use the result as a predictor for the financial market. Specifically, I would like to see if the anxiety of the community can be a good predictor for volatility in the US equity market. Also, can we extend the result to global markets. For example, can the anxiety in U.S. community affect markets in Europe or Asia. This will be a extension of the research done by Eric Gilbert and Karrie Karahalios.
Dataset
In the beginning, I'll reuse the JiveJournal dataset gathered by Gilbert. [1] [2]
The forum is run on the vBulletin system.
