Learning Job Title Representation from Job Description Aggregation Network
This work addresses the need for better automatic human resource tools by improving job title representation learning, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing methods with a new aggregation component.
The paper tackled the problem of learning job title representations by proposing a framework that uses job descriptions directly instead of extracted skills, achieving superior performance over skill-based approaches in both in-domain and out-of-domain settings.
Learning job title representation is a vital process for developing automatic human resource tools. To do so, existing methods primarily rely on learning the title representation through skills extracted from the job description, neglecting the rich and diverse content within. Thus, we propose an alternative framework for learning job titles through their respective job description (JD) and utilize a Job Description Aggregator component to handle the lengthy description and bidirectional contrastive loss to account for the bidirectional relationship between the job title and its description. We evaluated the performance of our method on both in-domain and out-of-domain settings, achieving a superior performance over the skill-based approach.
