## 🔬 Technical Architecture
### FinBERT Model
- **Model:** ProsusAI/finbert (Hugging Face)
- **Base:** BERT-base fine-tuned on financial text
- **Output:** Positive, Negative, Neutral + confidence scores
- **Input:** Max 512 tokens (~2000 characters)
- **Performance:** <1s per text chunk after initial load
### Rule-Based Fallback
When FinBERT unavailable (transformers not installed):
- Uses sentiment lexicon (20 positive + 18 negative words)
- Normalized scoring: [-1, 1] range
- Always operational, no external dependencies
### Entity Extraction
Regex-based pattern matching for:
- **Products:** "iPhone product", "Azure platform"
- **People:** "CEO Tim Cook", "CFO Amy Hood"
- **Competitors:** "competitor Samsung", "rival Google"
- **Locations:** "China market", "Europe region"
Context window sentiment: ±100 characters around entity mention

## 🔧 Installation & Setup
### Required (Already Installed)
- Python 3.9+
- requests library
### Optional (For FinBERT)
```bash
pip install transformers torch
```
Without these packages, system automatically falls back to rule-based sentiment (still functional).
### No Configuration Needed
- All data sources are free public APIs
- No API keys required
- No environment variables needed
---
## 📈 Integration Opportunities
### Existing Phases
- **Phase 76 (AI Earnings Analyzer):** Combine linguistic analysis + FinBERT sentiment
- **Phase 85 (Neural Prediction):** Use sentiment as ML feature
- **Phase 90 (ML Stock Screening):** Filter stocks by sentiment score
- **Phase 47 (Earnings NLP):** Complement tone analysis
### Future Enhancements
1. Cache FinBERT results for faster repeated queries
2. Batch processing for portfolio-wide sentiment
3. Fine-tune FinBERT on company-specific corpus
4. Add ESG-specific sentiment model (FinBERT-ESG)
5. Expand entity patterns (brands, metrics, KPIs)
6. Real-time sentiment streaming during earnings calls
