Identifying ESG Impact with Key Information

AbstractThe paper presents a concise summary of our work for the ML-ESG-2 shared task, exclusively on the Chinese and English datasets. ML-ESG-2 aims to ascertain the influence of news articles on corporations, specifically from an ESG perspective. To this end, we generally explored the capability of key information for impact identification and experimented with various techniques at different levels. For instance, we attempted to incorporate important information at the word level with TF-IDF, at the sentence level with TextRank, and at the document level with summarization. The final results reveal that the one with GPT-4 for summarisation yields the best predictions.
