Corporate accounting reports contain extensive data on various themes, and machine learning methods as well as AI-based language models offer entirely new possibilities for exploring this data. Doctoral researcher Essi Nousiainen from the University of Vaasa, Finland, has developed new machine learning-based methods that can be used to examine corporate reporting related to, among other things, responsibility, innovation, and blockchain.
