Stock Market Sentiment Classification from Social Media Posts
I have hands-on experience labeling text data for AI training, with a focus on sentiment analysis. In a stock-market sentiment project, I worked with social-media posts (Twitter/X) related to specific tickers and markets, tagging sentiment-bearing words and classifying each post as positive, negative, or neutral. This involved applying a consistent labeling scheme across a large volume of posts, handling the messy realities of real-world text—sarcasm, mixed signals, finance-specific slang and tickers, and ambiguous cases where a post leaned bullish or bearish without stating it outright—and resolving them against clear rules. The labeled output then fed into downstream analysis, so accuracy and consistency directly affected the quality of the results.
