Chapter One (First Draft)

DGA 1033 report

Context
There are 3 kinds of stakeholders: Employers, Candidates and Universities. All of them create profiles which can not be aligned properly, therefore stakeholders can not find appropied profiles according to their needs. The constant change of labor market requirements, and the growing need for experts in certain areas cause that stakeholders can not predict the competencies should be included in their profiles.

Context
Candidates

Universities

Employees

Problems
There is a mismatching problem between job offers, candidates and professional profiles, which doesnt allow to find affinity profiles between them.
There are large sentences in the profiles which dont show clairly the competences of stakeholders. The information showed in the profiles dont use the same vocabulary to convey competences. Stakeholders (Universities, Employeers, Candidates) use different structures to present competences. There is the lack of mechanisms for reasoning about individuals skills and competencies and inferring what was not explicitly mentioned.

Objectives
1. To identify competences between members of each stakeholder, in order to establish groups according to standards: Bloom-SWEEBOK (BS), DISCO II (DII).

RQ1: Is it possible to recognize competences inside the profiles, according to the standards?. RQ2: Is it possible to identify affinity competences in the profiles, according to the standards?. H1: The BS and DII standards allow the identification of competences on the stakeholders profiles.

Objectives
2. To verify similarities of competences between candidates and job offers in order to identify affinity groups for each stakeholder. RQ3: Is it possible to find similarities between stakeholders competences ? RQ4: Is it possible to identify missing competences in each stakeholder?. H3: The competences labeled with SB and DII standards allow the identification of affinity groups between candidates and job offers. H4: The competences labeled with SB and DII standards allow the identification of missing competences between candidates and job offers.

Objectives
3. To verify similarities of competences between professional profiles and job offers in order to identify affinity groups for each stakeholder.
RQ5: Is it possible to find similarities between stakeholders competences ? RQ6: Is it possible to identify missing competences in each stakeholder?. H5: The competences labeled with SB and DII standards allow the identification of affinity groups between professional profiles and job offers. H6: The competences labeled with SB and DII standards allow the identification of missing competences between professional profiles and job offers.

Experiment One
Objective: The BS and DII standards allow the identification of competences on the stakeholders profiles Tasks Preprocessing: Normalization of the corpus:
Verbs and Nouns (cannonical form) (Simple sentences) Sentence reduction (N-grams) (Complex sentences) Skills reduction based on BS: the most high skill level and its relation with the SWEEBOK profile Knowledge similarity calculation: based on BS

Normalization of the BS: Translation (skills and SWEEBOK profiles). Similarity calculation based on BS standard.
