AI in Central Bank Communications & Sentiment Analysis

Effective central bank communication is now powered by AI. This 5 day course empowers participants to harness natural language processing, sentiment analytics, and multimodal signal analysis to decode tone, forward guidance, market reactions, and even non verbal cues. Through cutting edge models, real time dashboards, and policy case studies, delegates will gain actionable insights to elevate transparency, credibility, and public trust in central banking.

TRAINING TOPICS

• LLM driven sentiment classification of monetary policy statements
• Topic & stance extraction using fine tuned models
• Event risk detection via NLP and news analytics
• Multimodal sentiment: text, tone, facial cues in speeches
• Nowcasting policy intent using forward looking indicators
• Market response models: AI predicting reactions to communications
• Explainable AI & governance: Fairness, bias, regulatory compliance
• Use–cases from ECB, Fed, RBI sentiment indicators

BY THE END OF THIS TRAINING COURSE, DELEGATES WILL BE ABLE TO:

• Develop sentiment scoring models for central bank announcements
• Parse policy tone dimensions (hawkish, dovish, neutral) with AI
• Integrate multimodal data—speech, facial expression, tone—for richer analysis
• Build forward looking indicators for policy tonality
• Trace market response patterns to communication signals
• Use explainable AI techniques to ensure transparent modeling
• Set up automated real time monitoring dashboards
• Draft AI enhanced communication strategies with predictive insight
