Abstract

In this paper, the authors present a system, CashTagNN, which uses the sentiment and subjectivity scores of tweets that include cashtags to model stock market movement, and in particular, predict opening stock market prices. Currently, the system focuses on two companies: Apple and Johnson \ Johnson. The system uses two machine learning methods for prediction, a feed-forward neural network, and a deep convolutional neural network. The authors use stock market prices in March and October 2016 as training data, with stock market prices in November 2016 as test data. The time series used for training and testing consists of stock prices recorded at one minute, five minutes, and one-hour intervals. Results show that the Feed Forward Network Model, in this case, outperforms the Deep Convolutional Network model.
