Bond markets respond differently to macroeconomic news compared to equity markets, yet most sentiment models are trained primarily on general financial or equity news data. However, bond prices often move in the opposite direction to economic optimism, making general or equity-based sentiment tools potentially misleading. We introduce BondBERT, a transformer-based language model fine-tuned on bond-specific news. BondBERT can act as the perception and reasoning component of a financial decision-support agent, providing sentiment signals that integrate with forecasting models. We propose a generalisable framework for adapting transformers to low-volatility, domain-inverse sentiment tasks by compiling and cleaning 30,000 UK bond market articles (2018-2025). BondBERT's sentiment predictions are compared against FinBERT, FinGPT, and Instruct-FinGPT using event-based correlation, up/down accuracy analyses, and LSTM forecasting across ten UK sovereign bonds. We find that BondBERT consistently produces positive correlations with bond returns, and achieves higher alignment and forecasting accuracy than the three baseline models. These results demonstrate that domain-specific sentiment adaptation better captures fixed income dynamics, bridging a gap between NLP advances and bond market analytics.

The "ICART 2020 12th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The purpose of the International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence is to bring together researchers, engineers, and practitioners interested in the theory and applications in the areas of Agents and Artificial Intelligence. Two simultaneous related tracks will be held, covering both applications and current research work. One track focuses on Agents, Multi-Agent Systems and Software Platforms, Distributed Problem Solving and Distributed AI in general. The other track focuses mainly on Artificial Intelligence, Knowledge Representation, Planning, Learning, Scheduling, Perception Reactive AI Systems, and Evolutionary Computing and other topics related to Intelligent Systems and Computational Intelligence.

The world is rapidly getting closer to a future in which low-level tasks can be performed cheaply by machines that never get sick or need a day off.

ICAART 2010 will be held January 22-24, 2010, in Valencia, Spain. International Conference on Intelligent This page includes forthcoming AAAI sponsored conferences, conferences presented User Interfaces. IUI 2010 will be by AAAI Affiliates, and conferences held in cooperation with AAAI. AI held February 7-10, 2010, in Hong Magazine also maintains a calendar listing that also includes nonaffiliated Kong. ICEIS 2010 will be held June 8-12, The International RuleML Symposium Stanford, California.
