Abstract

Automatic keyword extraction has important applications in various fields such as information retrieval, text mining and automatic text summarization. Different models of keyword extraction exist in the literature. In most cases, these models are designed for English-language documents, including scientific journals, news articles, or web pages. In this work, we evaluate state-of-the-art unsupervised approaches for extracting keywords from French-language Curricula Vitae (CVs) and job offers. The goal is to use these keywords to match a candidate and a job offer as part of a job recommendation system. Our evaluation showed that statistical baselines obtain good results with an interesting processing time in an industrial context. It also allowed us to highlight, on the one hand, biases related to pre-trained word embedding models on corpora of a different nature than CVs and job offers, and on the other hand, the difficulties of annotation within the framework of job search platforms.
