Resume Information Extraction via Post-OCR Text Processing
This addresses resume parsing for HR and recruitment in the IT industry, but it is incremental as it applies existing NLP models to a new dataset.
The study tackled information extraction from resumes by classifying text groups after OCR and object recognition, using models like BERT and YOLOv8 on a dataset of 286 resumes, and found that DistilBERT achieved better results despite fewer parameters.
Information extraction (IE), one of the main tasks of natural language processing (NLP), has recently increased importance in the use of resumes. In studies on the text to extract information from the CV, sentence classification was generally made using NLP models. In this study, it is aimed to extract information by classifying all of the text groups after pre-processing such as Optical Character Recognition (OCT) and object recognition with the YOLOv8 model of the resumes. The text dataset consists of 286 resumes collected for 5 different (education, experience, talent, personal and language) job descriptions in the IT industry. The dataset created for object recognition consists of 1198 resumes, which were collected from the open-source internet and labeled as sets of text. BERT, BERT-t, DistilBERT, RoBERTa and XLNet were used as models. F1 score variances were used to compare the model results. In addition, the YOLOv8 model has also been reported comparatively in itself. As a result of the comparison, DistilBERT was showed better results despite having a lower number of parameters than other models.
