3.4 Sentiment Ratio Measure Using Semantic Orientation

The concept of ‘semantic orientation’, as proposed by Hatzivassiloglou and

McKeown (1997), indicates that an article not only transmits objective facts, but also

expresses subjective sentiment and opinion; however, there is no representative system

capable of revealing or constructing information sentiment for Chinese documents. We

therefore collect Chinese financial news reports and carry out a process of information

quantification, as illustrated in Figure 2, by referring to Lu and Wei (2014) and Lu, Chen,

Ker, and Wei (2015).
