Dissection of AI Job Advertisements: A Text Mining-based Analysis of Employee Skills in the Disciplines Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing.

Human capital is a well discussed topic in information system research.In order for companies to develop and use IT artifacts, they need specialized employees.This is especially the case when complex technologies, such as artificial intelligence, are used.Two major fields of artificial intelligence are computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP).In this paper skills required for CV and NLP specialists are analyzed and compared from a job market perspective.For this purpose, we utilize a text mining-based analysis pipeline to dissect job advertisements for artificial intelligence.In concrete, job advertisements of both sub-disciplines were crawled from a large international online job platform and analyzed using named entity recognition and term vectors.It could be shown that skills required differ between the two job profiles.There is no general requirement profile of an artificial intelligence specialist, and it requires a differentiated consideration.
