ONTOLOGY BASED TECHNICAL SKILL SIMILARITY
Online job boards have become a major platform for technical talent procurement and job search. These job portals have given rise to challenging matching and search problems. The core matching or search happens between technical skills of the job requirements and the candidate\u27s profile or keywords. The extensive list of technical skills and its polyonymous nature makes it less effective to perform a direct keyword matching. This results in substandard job matching or search results which misses out a closely matching candidate on account of it not having the exact skills. It is important to use a semantic similarity measure between skills to improve the relevance of the results. This paper proposes a semantic similarity measure between technical skills using a knowledge based approach. The approach builds an ontology using DBpedia and uses it to derive a similarity score. Feature based ontology similarity measures are used to derive a similarity score between two skills. The ontology also helps in resolving a base skill from its multiple representations. The paper discusses implementation of custom ontology, similarity measuring system and performance of the system in comparing technical skills. The proposed approach performs better than the Resumatcher system in finding the similarity between skills. Keywords
Graph Summarization
The continuous and rapid growth of highly interconnected datasets, which are
both voluminous and complex, calls for the development of adequate processing
and analytical techniques. One method for condensing and simplifying such
datasets is graph summarization. It denotes a series of application-specific
algorithms designed to transform graphs into more compact representations while
preserving structural patterns, query answers, or specific property
distributions. As this problem is common to several areas studying graph
topologies, different approaches, such as clustering, compression, sampling, or
influence detection, have been proposed, primarily based on statistical and
optimization methods. The focus of our chapter is to pinpoint the main graph
summarization methods, but especially to focus on the most recent approaches
and novel research trends on this topic, not yet covered by previous surveys.Comment: To appear in the Encyclopedia of Big Data Technologie
