Brief:




I have been mulling on the idea of using neural nets in Human Resources in the area of resume parsing by approaching it from an angle of (text) pattern recognition ...

Comments welcome.

in the inital stage, i would like to go by keywords, where the net identifies some simple items like
Name
Address
Phone Number
Date of Birth

and tags them accordingly.

if they tag incorrectly i will have to reclassify the item to correct tag.

so that next time they can tag it properly.

I am still thinking about how to teach the net...


Urgh more reading to be done

at this point i also not sure how potential viruses are detected , i belief each AV vendor has their own pattern recognition heuristics involve in this...

ah thats the keyword, why didnt it come across to me earlier...
for all i know i may be barking up the wrong tree on this

Well I have this project sitting on the shelf for many months, its to do with taking resumes of all formats (text readable ones)
and extract the useful data. As we know , many people write them in differing styles, but the general idea is

Personal Info
Education
Work Experience
Summaries (in paragraphs)

So i'd like to
1) split the data up to these categories so that its more helpful to my search
2) categorize the resumes by role (system engineer, programmer, analyst)

I'd probably focus on the IT resume sector at this moment...

Some months back it did occur to me that AI might somewhat help my efforts... I did do some of ANN pattern recognition yonks ago , probably around the time mariah carey released her first album


* my first attempt bombed miserably, which purely searched for keywords and marking entire blocks of text based on that...
