SkillGPT: a RESTful API service for skill extraction and standardization using a Large Language Model

원문 초록

We present SkillGPT, a tool for skill extraction and standardization (SES) from free-style job descriptions and user profiles with an open-source Large Language Model (LLM) as backbone. Most previous methods for similar tasks either need supervision or rely on heavy data-preprocessing and feature engineering. Directly prompting the latest conversational LLM for standard skills, however, is slow, costly and inaccurate. In contrast, SkillGPT utilizes a LLM to perform its tasks in steps via summarization and vector similarity search, to balance speed with precision. The backbone LLM of SkillGPT is based on Llama, free for academic use and thus useful for exploratory research and prototype development. Hence, our cost-free SkillGPT gives users the convenience of conversational SES, efficiently and reliably.
