# Aiera Financial Sentiment Analysis Dataset
## Description
This dataset focuses on the sentiment analysis of earnings call transcript segments. It provides pre-segmented extracts from earnings calls, transcribed by Aiera, paired with sentiment labels. Each segment in the `transcript` column is annotated with a sentiment label (`sentiment`), which can be "positive", "negative", or "neutral". This dataset is intended for training and evaluating models on their ability to discern the underlying sentiment in financial communications.
## Dataset Structure
### Columns
- `transcript`: A segment of the earnings call transcript.
- `sentiment`: The sentiment label for the transcript segment, with possible values being "positive", "negative", or "neutral".
### Data Format
The dataset is structured in a tabular format, with each row representing a unique segment of an earnings call transcript alongside its corresponding sentiment label.
## Use Cases
This dataset is particularly suited for applications such as:
- Training machine learning models to perform sentiment analysis specifically in financial contexts.
- Developing algorithms to assist financial analysts and investors by providing quick sentiment assessments of earnings calls.
- Enhancing natural language processing systems used in finance for better understanding of market mood and company performance.
## Accessing the Dataset
To access this dataset, you can load it using the HuggingFace Datasets library with the following Python code:
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("Aiera/aiera-transcript-sentiment")
```
