Creation and Expansion of an AI Language Model that is Specifically Focused on ESG Themes
FY 2024-25 · 2024-05-01
Summary
This project is a logical successor to the two other successful NRC-IRAP projects constructed over the past 12 months.
The AI language model will use the customized ESG instance that has been trained to identify themes related to the Environment, Society, and Governance pillars but only operate within that dataset, while augmenting its understanding by consulting other known data models.

Description
This project is a logical successor to the two other successful NRC-IRAP projects constructed over the past 12 months.
The AI language model will use the customized ESG instance that has been trained to identify themes related to the Environment, Society, and Governance pillars but only operate within that dataset, while augmenting its understanding by consulting other known data models.
Description (French)
Ce projet est la suite logique des deux autres projets réussis du PARI-CNRC réalisés au cours des 12 derniers mois. Le modèle de langage d’IA utilisera l’instance ESG personnalisée qui a été formée pour identifier les thèmes liés aux piliers Environnement, Société et Gouvernance, mais ne fonctionnera que dans cet ensemble de données, tout en augmentant sa compréhension en consultant d’autres modèles de données connus.
