Improving Online Job Advertisement Analysis via Compositional Entity Extraction (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work on IE in OJAs has focused on skills extraction, but other information is extracted using job tasks, job titles, and work tools. |
| Approach: | They propose a compositional entity modeling framework for requirement extraction from online job advertisements (OJAs) they annotate a manually annotated dataset of 500 German job ads that captures roles, tools, experience levels, attitudes, and their functional context. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework can extract requirements from a manually annotated dataset of 500 German job ads. |

Entity or Relation Embeddings? An Analysis of Encoding Strategies for Relation Extraction (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to relation extraction use concatenating embeddings of head and tail entities . however, such representations capture the types of the entities involved, leading to false positives and confusion between relations involving entities of the same type. |
| Approach: | They propose a model which combines [MASK] embeddings with entity embedds to learn relation embeddations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art on several benchmarks . it uses a self-supervised pre-training strategy which further improves the results. |
