Abstract

A large amount of data is available on Twitter that can be used to manage different types of risks in financial institutions. This paper shows how machine learning algorithms can be applied to analyze large unstructured data and train a model to make a future prediction on tweets to categorize them by risk type and use sentiment analysis to understand the risk type. This model reads each tweet and categorizes them by risk using a specified dictionary and adds sentiment analysis to show the risk type seen in each tweet. Logistic regression used in this research helped to formulate the prediction model. Twitter data from 2019 was used to train and test a supervised machine learning algorithm and once the model started predicting tweets efficiently, it was used to predict twitter data from 2022 in our experimental research. Our experiment confirmed that Twitter data can be used to manage risk with the right type of modeling using machine learning techniques.
