ReCon: Reducing Congestion in Job Recommendation using Optimal Transport

1 code implementation18 Aug 2023 Yoosof Mashayekhi, Bo Kang, Jefrey Lijffijt, Tijl De Bie

Recommenders are increasingly used in domains where items have limited availability, such as the job market, where congestion is especially problematic: Recommending a vacancy -- for which typically only one person will be hired -- to a large number of job seekers may lead to frustration for job seekers, as they may be applying for jobs where they are not hired.

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

1 code implementation17 Apr 2023 Nan Li, Bo Kang, Tijl De Bie

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.

Revised Conditional t-SNE: Looking Beyond the Nearest Neighbors

1 code implementation7 Feb 2023 Edith Heiter, Bo Kang, Ruth Seurinck, Jefrey Lijffijt

Conditional t-SNE (ct-SNE) is a recent extension to t-SNE that allows removal of known cluster information from the embedding, to obtain a visualization revealing structure beyond label information.

A challenge-based survey of e-recruitment recommendation systems

no code implementations12 Sep 2022 Yoosof Mashayekhi, Nan Li, Bo Kang, Jefrey Lijffijt, Tijl De Bie

The recommendations are generated based on the suitability of the job seekers for the positions as well as the job seekers' and the recruiters' preferences.

Topologically Regularized Data Embeddings

1 code implementation ICLR 2022 Robin Vandaele, Bo Kang, Jefrey Lijffijt, Tijl De Bie, Yvan Saeys

For tasks for which prior expert topological knowledge is available, incorporating this into the learned representation may lead to higher quality embeddings.

The Curse Revisited: When are Distances Informative for the Ground Truth in Noisy High-Dimensional Data?

1 code implementation22 Sep 2021 Robin Vandaele, Bo Kang, Tijl De Bie, Yvan Saeys

Previously, it has been argued that neighborhood queries become meaningless and unstable when distance concentration occurs, which means that there is a poor relative discrimination between the furthest and closest neighbors in the data.

Adversarial Robustness of Probabilistic Network Embedding for Link Prediction

no code implementations5 Jul 2021 Xi Chen, Bo Kang, Jefrey Lijffijt, Tijl De Bie

However, these methods lack transparency when compared to simpler baselines, and as a result their robustness against adversarial attacks is a possible point of concern: could one or a few small adversarial modifications to the network have a large impact on the link prediction performance when using a network embedding model?

Interactive Visual Data Exploration with Subjective Feedback: An Information-Theoretic Approach

1 code implementation23 Oct 2017 Kai Puolamäki, Emilia Oikarinen, Bo Kang, Jefrey Lijffijt, Tijl De Bie

We conclude that the information theoretic approach to exploratory data analysis where patterns observed by a user are formalized as constraints provides a principled, intuitive, and efficient basis for constructing an EDA system.
