内容简介:
We develop an augmentation approach that links artificial intelligence (AI) to human knowledge to improve sentiment extraction from firm disclosures. This approach uses the Loughran and McDonald (LM) dictionary to represent human knowledge and the word embedding model to adjust the sentiment strength of words over time. We evaluate our approach using firms’ 10-K reports and find that the augmented sentiment measures consistently explain abnormal market returns immediately after the release of 10-K reports. This indicates that inconsistent results in the literature are driven by inaccurate sentiment measures. We also find that our augmented sentiment measures, when used as a word reweighting scheme for machine learning, have improved economic significance and explanatory power for abnormal market returns. Next, we find that our augmented sentiment measures help predict firms’ future earnings. Our research provides evidence suggesting that the proposed augmentation method mitigates the impact of managers’ strategic manipulation on disclosure sentiment. Further analyses demonstrate the robustness and generalizability of our method, and reveal that our augmented sentiment measures outperform conventional NLP and BERT-related models in both explaining and predicting market reactions and future earnings performance. Our work highlights the complementarity between human knowledge and AI in the context of textual information processing in financial markets.
