Abstract

Described herein are techniques for using a graph neural network to encode online job postings as embeddings. First, an input graph is defined by processing one or more rules to discover edges that connect nodes in an input graph, where the nodes of the input graph represent job postings or standardized job attributes, and the edges are determined based on analyzing a log of user activity directed to online job postings. Next, a graph neural network (GNN) is trained based on an edge prediction task. Finally, once trained, the GNN is used to derive node embeddings for the nodes (e.g., job postings) of the input graph, and in some instances, new online job postings not represented in the original input graph.
