On 16th of August our Scholarship holder Aida Usmanova presented our work “Structuring Sustainability Reports for Environmental Standards with LLMs guided by Ontology” in ClimateNLP workshop at ACL 2024.
The conference took place in Bangkok from 10th to 16th of August and spanned across multiple topics within NLP and Computational Linguistics.
During the NLP meets Climate Change workshop 3 keynote speakers discussed different views on environmental challenges and how AI can be applicable in this field.
Many thanks to the organizers of the workshop and conference!
Abstract: Following the introduction of the European Sustainability Reporting Standard (ESRS), companies will have to adapt to a new policy and provide mandatory sustainability reports. However, implementing such reports entails a challenge, such as the comprehension of a large number of textual information from various sources. This task can be accelerated by employing Large Language Models (LLMs) and ontologies to effectively model the domain knowledge. In this study, we extended an existing ontology to model ESRS Topical Standard for disclosure. The developed ontology would enable automated reasoning over the data and assist in constructing Knowledge Graphs (KGs). Moreover, the proposed ontology extension would also help to identify gaps in companies’ sustainability reports with regard to the ESRS requirements. Additionally, we extracted knowledge from corporate sustainability reports via LLMs guided with a proposed ontology and developed their KG representation.
