Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess how useful risk information is in bankruptcy prediction, by performing a sentiment analysis of the texts. The proposed method involves the use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques. The results show that neural networks performed better than other classifiers, with a classification accuracy of 96.15% for this particular text classification problem. This work demonstrates that business risks reports carry information that helps predict the likelihood of bankruptcy.
