Annotated Job Ads with Named Entity Recognition

Abstract

We have trained a named entity recognition (NER) model that screens Swedish job ads for different kinds of useful information (e.g. skills required from a job seeker). It was obtained by fine-tuning KB-BERT. The biggest challenge we faced was the creation of a labelled dataset, which required manual annotation. This paper gives an overview of the methods we employed to make the annotation process more efficient and to ensure high quality data. We also report on the performance of the resulting model.
