The presence of occupational structure in online texts based on word embedding NLP models

Abstract Research on social stratification is closely linked to analyzing the prestige associated with different occupations. This research focuses on the positions of occupations in the semantic space represented by large amounts of textual data. The results are compared to standard results in soci...
