abstract = {In this paper, we present our systems for the “SemEval-2017 Task-5 on FineGrained Sentiment Analysis on Financial Microblogs and News”. In our system, we combined hand-engineered lexical, sentiment and metadata features, the representations learned from Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU) with Attention model applied on top. With this architecture, we obtained weighted cosine similarity scores of 72.34% and 74.37% for subtask-1 and subtask-2, respectively. Using the official scoring system, our system ranked the second place for subtask-2 and eighth place for the subtask-1. It ranked first for both of the subtasks by the scores achieved by an alternate scoring system.

note = {Ranked 2nd for Subtask 2. With alternate scoring, ranked 1st in both subtask.},
