JCTC: A Large Job posting Corpus for Text Classification

원문 초록

The absence of an appropriate text classification corpus makes the massive amount of online job information unusable for labor market analysis. This paper presents JCTC, a large job posting corpus for text classification. In JCTC construction framework, a formal specification issued by the Chinese central government is chosen as the classification standard. The unsupervised learning (WE-cos), supervised learning algorithm (SVM) and human judgements are all used in the construction process. JCTC has 102581 online job postings distributed in 465 categories. The method proposed here can not only ameliorate the high demands on people's skill and knowledge, but reduce the subjective influences as well. Besides, the method is not limited in Chinese. We benchmark five state-of-the-art deep learning approaches on JCTC providing baseline results for future studies. JCTC might be the first job posting corpus for text classification and the largest one in Chinese. With the help of JCTC, related organizations are able to monitor, analyze and predict the labor market in a comprehensive, accurate and timely manner.
