Pretrained ML models to be used with the package.

Usage

pretrained_models

Format

A nested list with pretrained machine learning models:

similarity_based_reasoning

list. Contains pretrained models to be used with algo_similarity_based_reasoning().

similarity_based_reasoning$wordwise

list. Contains the pretrained model to be used for providing suggestions using full wordwise matching.

similarity_based_reasoning$substring

list. Contains the pretrained model to be used for providing suggestions using substring matching.

This training data always predicts a 5-digit code from the 2010 German Classification of Occupations, with some exceptions: -0004 stands for 'Not precise enough/uncodable', -0006 stands for 'Multiple Jobs', -0012 stands for 'Blue-collar workers', -0019 stands for 'Volunteer/Social Service', and -0030 stands for 'Student assistant'.

Job titles were taken from the following publication:

Bundesagentur für Arbeit (2019). Gesamtberufsliste der Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Stand: 03.01.2019. https://download-portal.arbeitsagentur.de/files/.

Basically, leaving some data anonymization steps aside, we count for each job title from the Gesamtberufsliste (and some additional titles/texts) how many responses from all surveys are similar to this job title, separately for each coded category. Similarity is calculated in two ways, implying that we obtain two different counts: SubstringSimilarity refers to situations where the job title from the Gesamtberufsliste is a substring of the verbal answer; WordwiseSimilarity refers to situations where a word from the verbal answer is identical to a job title from the Gesamtberufsliste, except that one character from this word is allowed to change (Levenshtein distance). These counts are available as two separate files in the data-raw/training-data/ directory of this package. The algorithm to create these counts is available inside an R-package at https://github.com/malsch/occupationCoding, along with further documentation.

train_similarity_based_reasoning() is then used to train the ML models. See data-raw/pretrained_models.R for the raw counts and further details.
