Abstract Text Financial research recently started using the latest breakthroughs in natural language processing. This thesis develops an innovative framework for systematic exposure assessment: it measures the notion of exposure by leveraging language models and gathering a priori expert expressions to quantify the use of corpus- and domain-specific vocabulary. Focusing on risks and emerging technologies in earnings calls, we apply our method to reveal insightful market behaviors. A case study then shows that exposures from earnings conferences reflect the content from corresponding 10-Ks. Since our approach solves major issues of other NLP techniques, we strongly encourage other researchers to explore further applications.
