Event-Aware Sentiment Factors from LLM-Augmented Financial Tweets: A Transparent Framework for Interpretable Quant Trading
Wang and Wei (2025) study news sentiment and text signals using a large language model. The abstract mentions a Sharpe ratio, alpha and t-statistics but not a benchmark, an out-of-sample test, transaction costs, multiple testing or the size of the universe.
“In this study, we wish to showcase the unique utility of large language models (LLMs) in financial semantic annotation and alpha signal discovery.”
