1. Overview

This assessment description concerns Milestone II of the NLP web-based data application project.                     In Milestone I, we have built several machine learning models based on different feature representations of documents to classify job advertisement categories. In Milestone II, we will develop a job hunting website based on the Python Flask web development framework. The developed website will allow job hunters to browse existing job advertisements, as well as employers to create new job advertisements. The website will adopt one of the machine learning models that we built in Milestone I, for the purpose of auto classifying categories for new job advertisement entries. Such functionality helps to reduce human data entry error, increase the job exposure to relevant candidates, and also improve the user experience of the job hunting site.

2. Learning Outcomes

This assessment relates to following learning outcomes of the course:

.   CLO 5 : Document and maintain an editable transcript of the data pre-processing pipeline for

professional reporting;

.   CLO 6: Build small to medium scale data-driven applications using a Web development framework.

3. Assessment details

In this milestone, you are required to build a job hunting website using Python Flask.

Job Data

To test and demonstrate the functionality of job displaying, you will need some job data. In this milestone, you can use data, including the job information and descriptions, given in Milestone I. If you want, you can also create any additional artificial data (e.g. images) for the purpose of display.

Website Layout and Design

The layout and design of the website are flexible. You can refer to the exercises in the last two weeks'             material, or the Job Browsing Page and the Employer site of the commonly used Seek.com.au as a reference. Note that the Employer site would require an seek account login to enter.

Minimum Functional Requirements

There  are  minimum  functional  requirements  of the  developed  website for job  hunters  and  employers, respectively. You feel free to include other functionalities that suit.

Functionality for Job hunters

[Fun 1] Job Display

The Job hunting website will allow job hunters to see all the available job advertisements. In the homepage, the develop website should provide a list view of the available job advertisement previews, and when the users click on the previews, they will be able to see the full description of the job advertisement. The job hunting website will also display job advertisements per category. When users click on each category, they will be able to see a list view of the available job advertisement previews within this category, and when users click on the previews, they will be able to see the full description of the job advertisement.

Functionality for Employers

[Fun 2] Create a New Job Listing

The  Job  hunting  website  will  allow  employers  to  create  a  new  job  listing,  including  entering  various information, e.g., title, description, salary, etc.

Based on the entered title and description, the website should automatically recommend categories of the entered   job   advertisement.   It   should   also   allow   the   employer   to   select   other   categories   if  the recommendation does not suit (i.e. they can overwrite the category suggested by the website). You can refer to the  employer  site  of  seek.com.au  as  an  example.  Upon  confirmation, the  created job advertisement should be included in the job data, and can be found via a URL or relevant search.

Note that you  have the flexibility to choose the language model and the classification model for the job category recommendation task.

For the sake of simplicity, we do not need to create any employer login or verification functionalities.

Record Demo Videos

As part of the final submission, you are required to submit a pre-recorded 5-min video, demonstrating the working system for various functionalities.
