Financial Narrative Processing

This is a page for researchers and practitioners working on analysing financial or economic material using Natural Language Process, Corpus and Computational Linguistics. This also includes the use of machine learning and other statistical and language models. The group first meet up was at ACL 2019 in Florence. Please feel free to join our group if you are interested in analysing financial and economic data using NLP and Machine learning. – Mahmoud El-Haj
