Big data and machine learning have generated tremendous interest in empirical finance research. In this paper, we study a unique news analytics database provided by Ravenpack. We apply a suite of innovative machine learning algorithms, including adaBoost, spline regression, and other boosting/bagging techniques on both traditional and unstructured news data in predicting stock returns. We find news sentiment data adds significant incremental predictive power to our machine learning based global stock selection models.
