Skills and internal-mobility network mapping
A use case in Human resources, seen as a chain of named AI tasks.
What it is. Skills and internal-mobility network mapping is an AI use case in Human resources. Its input is a network, and underneath it is a short chain of named tasks: it finds the most relevant material, then recommends the best matches. That makes it classic AI (ML or DL): a model trained on your data, focused, measurable, and usually easy to explain.
How you tell it is working. Each task is measured, and fails, differently. The weakest step sets the ceiling for the whole chain, so concentrate testing there.
- Retrieve / search (finding & recommending): whether the right item shows up near the top of the results. Watch: if the right item is not retrieved, everything after it is wrong.
- Recommend (finding & recommending): whether the top suggestions are the ones people actually want. Watch: popularity bias and cold start.
How much it decides. As drawn, it sits at the focused model level: does one job; you run it and read the result. The same use case can be built with more or less autonomy, and more autonomy means more reach and more to check.
Judging the materiality. This page does not assign a risk tier. How material it is depends on your deployment: who it affects, whether a person genuinely re-decides or only approves, whether the action can be reversed, and your regulatory and fairness exposure. Rate it on impact, complexity and reliance as the AIRG expects, and let the controls follow. See use-case risk and materiality.
