Abstract: In an example embodiment, a solution that automatically assigns one or more industries to a company in a job posting is provided using a machine learning algorithm. In a training phase, sample computerized job postings having labeled industries are fed into a machine learning algorithm to generate a raw industry classifier based on features comprising terms in a textual portion of the computerized job postings and one or more metrics for each of the terms. Newly acquired candidate job postings are aggregated by normalized company name and the aggregations are fed into the raw industry classifier to generate one or more industries corresponding to the normalized company name.
