LDPP at the FinNLP-2022 ERAI Task: Determinantal Point Processes and Variational Auto-encoders for Identifying High-Quality Opinions from a pool of Social Media Posts

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsConference proceedingpeer-review

Abstract

Social media and online forums have made it easier for people to share their views and opinions on various topics in society. In this paper, we focus on posts discussing investment related topics. When it comes to investment, people can now easily share their opinions about online traded items and also provide rationales to support their arguments on social media. However, there are millions of posts to read with potential of having some posts from amateur investors or completely unrelated posts. Identifying the most important posts that could lead to higher maximal potential profit (MPP) and lower maximal loss for investment is not a trivial task. In this paper, propose to use determinantal point processes and variational autoencoders to identify high quality posts from the given rationales. Experimental results suggest that our method mines quality posts compared to random selection and also latent variable modeling improves improves the quality of selected posts.
