Abstract

Industry classification for startup companies is meaningful not only to navigate investment strategies but also to find potential competitors. It is essentially a challenging domain-specific text classification task. Due to the lack of such dataset, in this paper, we first construct a dataset for industry classification based on the companies listed on the Chinese National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ), which consists of 17, 604 annual business reports and their corresponding industry labels. Second, we introduce a novel Knowledge Graph Enriched BERT model (KGEB), which can understand a domain-specific text by enhancing the word representation with external knowledge and can take full use of the local knowledge graph without pre-training. Experimental results show the promising performance of the proposed model and demonstrate its effectiveness for tackling the domain-specific classification task.
