Classify Multilingual Labour Market Free-Text to Standardized Hierarchical Occupations

Allows the user to map multilingual free-text of occupations to a broad range of standardized classifications. The package facilitates automatic occupation coding (see, e.g., Gweon et al. (2017) <doi:10.1515/jos-2017-0006> and Turrell et al. (2019) <doi:10.3386/w25837>), where the ISCO to ESCO mapping is exploited to extend the occupations hierarchy, Le Vrang et al. (2014) <doi:10.1109/mc.2014.283>. Document vectorization is performed using the multilingual ESCO corpus. A method based on the nearest neighbor search is used to suggest the closest ISCO occupation.
