This paper proposes an automated coding system of Korean standard industry/occupation for census which reduces a lot of cost and labor for manual coding. The proposed system converts natural language responses on survey questionnaires into corresponding numeric codes using information retrieval techniques and document classification algorithm. The system was experimented with 46,762 industry records and occupation 36,286 records using 10-fold cross -validation evaluation method. As experimental results, the system show 87.08% and 66.08% production rates when classifying industry records into level 2 and level 5 codes respectively. The system shows slightly lower performances on occupation code classification. We expect that the system is enough to be used as a semi-automate coding system which can minimize manual coding task or as a verification tool for manual coding results though it has much room to be improved as an automated coding system.

An Automated Industry and Occupation Coding System assigns statistical classification code to the enormous amount of natural language data collected from people who write about their industry and occupation. Unlike previous studies that applied information retrieval, we propose a system that does not need an index database and gives proper code regardless of the level of classification. Also, we show our model, which utilized KoBERT that achieves high performance in natural language downstream tasks with deep learning, outperforms baseline. Our method achieves 95.65%, 91.51%, and 97.66% in Occupation/Industry Code Classification of Population and Housing Census, and Industry Code Classification of Census on Basic Characteristics of Establishments. Moreover, we also demonstrate future improvements through error analysis in the respect of data and modeling.
