Scoring

The table mentioned below is ‘only for information’ purpose;

it gives summary of ‘number of words’ in each category in the matrix,

and they are not the weights. For example, there are total 18 words in ‘Financial Metric’ category

– of which 7 words are ‘Very Important’ and 6 words are ‘ Important’

and 5 words ‘Less so important’. The table is only for broader understanding.

For our Project purpose:

We have divided all words into three categories namely ‘Very Important’,

‘Important’ and ‘Less so important’ - please refer to attachment and the

color coding. The category classification is to allow the student to ascribe a “weight”

to each of the key words. For example, a key word that has been assign

as ‘Very Important’ should have more weight/importance in the sentiment

score than a key word that is ‘Less so important’.

 

Here’s an illustration of the weight for each of the category.

Very Important -> 2x

Important -> 1x

Less so Important -> 0.5x

Using these weights, the sentiment model score should be more “robust”.

 

We can advise students to be flexible with weights (while maintaining the

priority order) if they find better correlation/relation among peer group.

 

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
