Making personnel selection smarter through word embeddings: A graph-based approach

This paper employs techniques and algorithms from the fields of natural language processing, graph representation learning and word embeddings to assist project managers in the task of personnel selection. To do so, our approach initially represents multiple textual documents as a single graph. Then...

description This paper employs techniques and algorithms from the fields of natural language processing, graph representation learning and word embeddings to assist project managers in the task of personnel selection.

Finally, it builds a classification model that is able to estimate how qualified a candidate employee is to work on a given task, taking as input only the descriptions of the tasks and a list of word embeddings.
