ESG Accountability Made Easy: DocQA at Your Service
This provides a tool for users needing to access ESG data, but it is incremental as it integrates existing AI technologies without novel breakthroughs.
The paper tackles the problem of extracting information from ESG disclosure reports by developing Deep Search DocQA, a conversational assistant that enables users to explore over 10,000 reports from over 2,000 corporations.
We present Deep Search DocQA. This application enables information extraction from documents via a question-answering conversational assistant. The system integrates several technologies from different AI disciplines consisting of document conversion to machine-readable format (via computer vision), finding relevant data (via natural language processing), and formulating an eloquent response (via large language models). Users can explore over 10,000 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure reports from over 2000 corporations. The Deep Search platform can be accessed at: https://ds4sd.github.io.
