Artificial Intelligence and Labor Market (AI&LM) Workshop

Ghent, Belgium

April 28-30, 2025

The Artificial Intelligence & Labor Market (AI&LM) workshop seeks to address how artificial intelligence may transform labor market and human resources, impacting the various actors at play - including job seekers, recruiters, employment platforms, Public Employment Services, policymakers, and training providers. It aims to bring together participants from academia, Public Employment Services and industry.

Topics of interest include the design and/or application of data-driven or machine learning methods - for instance, recommender systems, representation learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), knowledge graphs, expert systems, visualization methods - in labor market and human resources use cases - such as CV or job ad writing, job or profile recommendations, HR and recruitment strategies, job market analytics, career or education advice, creation and use of taxonomies and ontologies. They also broadly include the various challenges posed by such methods in the labor market context - where particular concerns about topics such as bias and fairness, explainability and transparency, actionability, and privacy arise - as well as related issues of regulation of AI and compliance to legislation - for instance, to the European AI Act.

The program will seek to cover both methods and use cases, and aims to balance topics of interest for industry, Public Employment Services, and academics.

Talk proposal deadline: February 28, 2025. Poster propositions remain welcome beyond this deadline.
