PEBSA: Predicting Economic Behavior via Sentiment Analysis
PEBSA is a machine learning (ML) model that aims to analyze public sentiment towards America's economic performance and predict its future behavior. By collecting public comments and posts from several social media platforms, sentiment analysis techniques will be applied to classify comments based on positive or negative outlooks. The ML model will then incorporate macroeconomic reasoning to forecast future economic behavior. The project will focus on fair and unbiased testing by employing scientific sampling techniques during data collection processes. The outcomes of this research will provide valuable insights for policymakers, businesses, and investors, facilitating informed decision-making in the realm of economic performance analysis.
