Abstract

Universum refers to additional samples which contain priori knowledge for classification but belonging to none of the class. It has been proved that universum positioned “in between” the two classes obtain better results. Since opinions on stock market defined as investor sentiment involve quite a number of neutral views, these neutral views can be used as universum samples to better identify investor sentiment. With universum samples, this paper uses support vector machine (SVM) to classify posts on stock forum. We define bullish views as positive samples, define bearish views as negative samples, and also further discuss the situation of a 3-class problem with neutral views. Compared with standard SVM, the empirical studies with universum samples in this paper show better performance for both 2- and 3-class classifications.
