SkillSpan

SkillSpan is a dataset for Skill Extraction (SE). It is an important and widely-studied task useful to gain insights into labor market dynamics. However, there is a lacuna of datasets and annotation guidelines; available datasets are few and contain crowd-sourced labels on the span-level or labels from a predefined skill inventory. To address this gap, the authors introduce SkillSpan, a novel SE dataset consisting of 14.5K sentences and over 12.5K annotated spans.
