Abstract
This research focuses on enterprise profiling in scenarios where large volumes of diverse texts—such as registration records, annual reports, news articles, and bidding notices—are continuously generated. Instead of relying solely on a single data representation or classification model, we developed a comprehensive natural language processing (NLP) pipeline for extracting key information and identifying industries. The pipeline consists of several steps. First, we use a BERT-BiLSTM-CRF model to identify core e/nterprise entities. Then, we combine TF-IDF with BERT embeddings to create a hybrid feature scheme that captures both lexical cues and contextual semantics. To address the challenge of imbalanced industry labels, we apply SMOTE in the dense semantic space and pair it with Focal Loss to enhance learning for minority classes. Additionally, we introduce a Stacking strategy to integrate outputs from different models, making predictions more stable. Tests on a self-compiled dataset covering ten national economic sectors and about 50,000 enterprises show that our method achieves a macro-F1 score of 95.4%. It outperforms traditional machine learning baselines and single deep learning models, offering more reliable recognition for minority classes. These results suggest that our framework is well-suited for applications such as supply chain partner discovery, industrial mapping, and targeted investment promotion.
The results are packaged in the Greenfield Startup Model (GSM), which explains the priority of startups to release the product as quickly as possible, and the need to shorten time-to-market, by speeding up the development through low-precision engineering activities.
