Event classification in relation to moving stock prices

Abstract

This thesis tries to build a prototype for use in aiding a person in finding certain events in articles released by news wires. It details the road taken to achieve this prototype, from looking at similar works to implementing a fully working website. The experiments done to test the classification rates are visualized in tables and discussed. Although the results are not what the author hoped to achieve, the road leading up the results has been interesting none the less.I would like to thank my supervisor Pinar O ̈ztu ̈rk for her advice in writing this report. I would also like to thank Arvid Holme for his enthusiasm and valuable input in finalizing the report.
