The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has always relied on Information Extraction (IE) as one of its essential tasks. One of the most critical application scenarios for IE is the extraction of information from resumes. By classifying each part of a resume, constructed text can be obtained and stored for later search and analysis. This data can also be used in AI resume screening systems to significantly reduce HR labor costs. In this study by Chengguang Gan and Tatsunori Mori, the task of information extraction from resumes is transformed into a simple sentence classification task. The authors improve upon the English resume dataset produced by prior studies by creating larger and more fine-grained classification rules, resulting in an improved accuracy rate for the original dataset. The refined dataset is then used to test current mainstream Pre-training language models (PLMs). Additionally, experiments are conducted to explore the relationship between training sample size and correctness rate for the dataset. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into improving information extraction from resumes using advanced NLP techniques that could have significant implications for HR departments worldwide. These techniques could help reduce time spent manually reviewing resumes while ensuring accuracy in identifying qualified candidates.

Abstract: Information extraction(IE) has always been one of the essential tasks of NLP. Moreover, one of the most critical application scenarios of information extraction is the information extraction of resumes. Constructed text is obtained by classifying each part of the resume. It is convenient to store these texts for later search and analysis. Furthermore, the constructed resume data can also be used in the AI resume screening system. Significantly reduce the labor cost of HR. This study aims to transform the information extraction task of resumes into a simple sentence classification task. Based on the English resume dataset produced by the prior study. The classification rules are improved to create a larger and more fine-grained classification dataset of resumes. This corpus is also used to test some current mainstream Pre-training language models (PLMs) performance.Furthermore, in order to explore the relationship between the number of training samples and the correctness rate of the resume dataset, we also performed comparison experiments with training sets of different train set sizes.The final multiple experimental results show that the resume dataset with improved annotation rules and increased sample size of the dataset improves the accuracy of the original resume dataset.
