Abstract
Given a job position, how to identify the right job
skill demand and its evolving trend becomes critically important for both job seekers and employers in the fast-paced job market. Along this line,
there still exist various challenges due to the lack of
holistic understanding on skills related factors, e.g.,
the dynamic validity periods of skill trend, as well
as the constraints from overlapped business and
skill co-occurrence. To address these challenges,
in this paper, we propose a trend-aware approach
for fine-grained skill demand analysis. Specifi-
cally, we first construct a tensor for each timestamp based on the large-scale recruitment data,
and then reveal the aggregations among companies
and skills by heuristic solutions. Afterwards, the
Trend-Aware Tensor Factorization (TATF) framework is designed by integrating multiple confounding factors, i.e., aggregation-based and temporal
constraints, to provide more fine-grained representation and evolving trend of job demand for specific
job positions. Finally, validations on large-scale
real-world data clearly validate the effectiveness of
our approach for skill demand analysis
