# ESCO Skill Extractor

This is a a tool that extract **ESCO skills** and **ISCO occupations** from texts such as job descriptions or CVs. It uses a transformer and compares its embedding using cosine similarity.

## Installation

```bash
pip install esco-skill-extractor
```

## Usage

### Via python

```python
from esco_skill_extractor import SkillExtractor

# Don't be scared, the 1st time will take longer to download the model and create the embeddings.
skill_extractor = SkillExtractor()

ads = [
    "We are looking for a software engineer with experience in Java and Python.",
    "We are looking for a devops engineer. Containerization tools such as Docker is a must. AWS is a plus."
    # ...
]

print(skill_extractor.get_skills(ads))
# [
#     [

| Keyword Argument     | Description                                                                     | Default                        |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| skill_threshold      | Skills surpassing this cosine similarity threshold are considered a match.      | 0.6                            |
| occupation_threshold | Occupations surpassing this cosine similarity threshold are considered a match. | 0.55                           |
| device               | The device where the copulations will take place. AKA torch device.             | "cuda" if available else "cpu" |

## How it works

1. Generates embeddings for ESCO skills and ISCO occupations.
2. Extracts skills from provided texts using [SkillNer](https://huggingface.co/nestauk/en_skillner)
3. Creates embeddings for the extracted skills.
4. Compares the embeddings of ESCO skills or ISCO occupations with those of the extracted skills using cosine similarity and matches them if the similarity is above a certain threshold.
