Predicting the Future of Work Using Graph Neural Networks (with Jeffrey V. Nickerson)​

The manuscript models various prediction problems in the future of work research into graph learning problems. Using graph neural network techniques, it aims to understand

and predict the relationship between work and technology.

This manuscript was presented at LMDE 2023 and will be developed into an article for IS or management journals by emphasizing its potential use in policy analysis.

Designing a Recommendation System for Green Occupation Transitions (with Justine Hervé)
