+ # PhoBERT ESG Topic Classifier (Vietnamese Banking Reports)
11
+
12
+ A fine-tuned [vinai/phobert-base-v2](https://huggingface.co/vinai/phobert-base-v2) model for **sentence-level ESG topic classification** in Vietnamese banking reports.
13
+
14
+ ---
15
+
16
+ ## Model Description
17
+
18
+ This model classifies Vietnamese sentences extracted from **banking annual and sustainability reports** into **6 ESG-related topic categories**:
19
+
20
+ - **Non-ESG**: General business, financial, or operational content not related to ESG
21
+ - **E (Environmental)**: Environmental topics such as emissions, energy, climate, waste, and resource usage
22
+ - **S (Social)**: Social topics including employees, community, customer protection, health & safety
23
+ - **G (Governance)**: Corporate governance topics such as board structure, compliance, risk management
24
+ - **Policy**: ESG-related strategies, policies, commitments, and frameworks
25
+ - **Financing**: Green or sustainable finance activities (green bonds, sustainable credit, ESG-linked finance)
26
+
27
+ The model is designed as **Stage B (Topic Classification)** in a larger ESG-washing analysis pipeline.
28
+
29
+ ---
30
+
31
+ ## Training Data
32
+
33
+ - **Source**: Vietnamese banking annual and sustainability reports
34
+ - **Time span**: 2015–2024
35
+ - **Sentence-level corpus** after OCR cleaning and quality filtering
36
+
37
+ Dataset splits:
38
+ - **Train**: 926 sentences
39
+ - **Dev**: 127 sentences
40
+ - **Test**: 272 sentences
41
+
42
+ All splits are constructed with **bank-year group isolation** to prevent information leakage.
43
+
44
+ ---
45
+
46
+ ## Training Procedure
47
+
48
+ - **Base model**: `vinai/phobert-base-v2`
49
+ - **Fine-tuning strategy**: Full fine-tuning
50
+ - **Loss**: Class-weighted CrossEntropyLoss (to address class imbalance)
51
+ - **Optimizer**: AdamW
52
+ - Learning rate: 2e-05
53
+ - Weight decay: 0.01
54
+ - **Batch size**: 16
55
+ - **Max sequence length**: 256 tokens
56
+ - **Epochs trained**: 8
57
+ - **Best checkpoint**: Epoch 4 (selected by DEV Macro-F1)
58
+ - **Random seed**: 42

86
+ ## Intended Use
87
+
88
+ - ESG topic analysis for Vietnamese banking reports
89
+ - Preprocessing step for **ESG-washing detection**
90
+ - Academic research (thesis / paper-level experiments)
91

93
+
94
+ ## Usage
95
+
96
+ ```python
97
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
98
+ import torch
99
+
100
+ model_name = "huypham71/esg-topic-classifier"
101
+
102
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, use_fast=False)
103
+ model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
104
+
105
+ text = "Ngân hàng cam kết giảm 20% lượng khí thải carbon vào năm 2025."
106
+ inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=256)
107
+
108
+ with torch.no_grad():
109
+ outputs = model(**inputs)
110
+ probs = torch.softmax(outputs.logits, dim=-1)
111
+ pred_id = torch.argmax(probs).item()
112
+
113
+ print("Prediction:", model.config.id2label[pred_id])
114
+ print("Confidence:", float(probs[0, pred_id]))
115
+
116
+ ## Limitations
117
+
118
+ Trained specifically on Vietnamese banking reports
119
+
120
+ Not intended for other industries or languages
121
+
122
+ Some ambiguity exists between Policy, Environmental, and Financing categories due to overlapping ESG discourse
123
+
124
+ Minority classes (E, Policy) have fewer samples than Non-ESG and Governance
