Abstract or description

Stock Market (SM) is believed to be a significant sector of a free market economy as it plays a crucial role in the growth of commerce and industry of a country. The increasing importance of SMs and their direct influence on economy were the main reasons for analysing SM movements. The need to determine early warning indicators for SM crisis has been the focus of study by many economists and politicians. Whilst most research into the identification of these critical indicators applied data mining to uncover hidden knowledge, very few attempted to adopt a text mining approach. This paper demonstrates how text mining combined with Random Forest algorithm can offer a novel approach to the extraction of critical indicators, and classification of related news articles. The findings of this study extend the current classification of critical indicators from three to eight classes; it also show that Random Forest can outperform other classifiers and produce high accuracy.
