Abstract
Procode is a free of charge web-tool that allows automatic coding of occupational data (free-texts) by implementing Complement Naïve Bayes (CNB) as a machine-learning technique. The paper describes the algorithm, performance evaluation, and future goals regarding the tool's development. Almost 30 000 free-texts with manually assigned classification codes of French classification of occupations (PCS) and French classification of activities (NAF) were used to train CNB. A 5-fold cross-validation found that Procode predicts correct classification codes in 57-81 and 63-83% cases for PCS and NAF, respectively. Procode also integrates recoding between two classifications. In the first version of Procode, this operation, however, is only a simple search function of recoding links in existing crosswalks. Future focus of the project will be collection of the data to support automatic coding to other classification and to establish a more advanced method for recoding.
