This paper presents a pipeline for extracting, classifying, and representing skills requested in job advertisements to enable demand-side labor market analysis. Our contributions include: (1) addressing the annotation bottleneck by leveraging scalable, taxonomy-aligned LLM supervision for training a lightweight sentence encoder, (2) expanding skill extraction to include implicit skill requirements as well as the explicit mentions typically targeted in prior work, and (3) representing skills as distributions to robustly support downstream tasks despite the fluid, overlapping nature of skill definitions. Concretely, we compile 3M+ postings from 10k+ sources and sample 500k+ sentences to fine-tune paraphrase-multilingual-mpnet-base-v2 for identifying skill requests and mapping them to the 13,896-skill ESCO taxonomy, supervised by GPT-4o mini. The outcome is normalized per-ad skill distributions, aggregated from sentence-level distributions weighted by request probability.

摘要

This paper presents a pipeline for extracting, classifying, and representing skills requested in job advertisements to enable demand-side labor market analysis. Our contributions include: (1) addressing the annotation bottleneck by leveraging scalable, taxonomy-aligned LLM supervision for training a lightweight sentence encoder, (2) expanding skill extraction to include implicit skill requirements as well as the explicit mentions typically targeted in prior work, and (3) representing skills as distributions to robustly support downstream tasks despite the fluid, overlapping nature of skill definitions. Concretely, we compile 3M+ postings from 10k+ sources and sample 500k+ sentences to fine-tune paraphrase-multilingual-mpnet-base-v2 for identifying skill requests and mapping them to the 13,896-skill ESCO taxonomy, supervised by GPT-4o mini. The outcome is normalized per-ad skill distributions, aggregated from sentence-level distributions weighted by request probability.
