Abstract

In recent years, semi-structured and unstructured data have received substantial attention. Previous studies on sentiment analysis and opinion mining have indicated that media information features sentiment factors that can affect investor decisions. However, few studies have explored the correlation between news sentiment and housing prices; hence, the present study was conducted to investigate this correlation. A method was proposed to collect and filter news information and analyze the correlation between news sentiment and housing prices. The results indicate that news sentiment can serve as a reference for evaluating housing price trends.
