| Summary: | This study analyzes 284 publicly listed companies first designated as ST or *ST between 2015 and 2023. It utilizes two types of textual indicators: Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and stock forum comments. PCA and MLP are employed for dimensionality reduction. The study compares the recognition performance of single-class models with ensemble learning models while also examining the impact of various base learners and meta-learners on the performance of the ensemble learning model. The findings show that using the two types of textual indicators significantly enhanced the model's accuracy in recognition. The single-class and ensemble learning models demonstrated average improvements of 1.24% and 1.75%, respectively. Notably, stock forum comments outperformed MD&A text. Additionally, the MLP proved more effective in feature processing than PCA. The D-M-BSA-FT model achieved an accuracy of 88.89%. Ensemble learning models outperform single classification models. After introducing textual features, the ensemble learning model achieved an average recognition accuracy of 85.31%, compared to 82.09% for the single classification model. Therefore, the financial warning model developed in this study provides valuable insights for enhancing the accuracy of financial warning identification. |
