Patent number: 11962708Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for parsing resume documents using computer vision and optical character recognition technology in combination with a user feedback interface system to facilitate user feedback to improve the overall processing quality of the resumes that are imported into computer resume processing systems. In at least one embodiment, the system and method prompt a user to upload an input resume document, which is processed with a first parsing pass to generate initial resume data by extracting a plurality of resume text blocks. Further processing identifies an initial set of bounding blocks and to visually displays the initial resume data for user review and feedback to regroup one or more of the initial set of bounding blocks into a regrouped bounding block. Additional processing consolidates into a group text block each of the resume text blocks corresponding to the regrouped one or more of the initial set of bounding blocks.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Indeed, Inc.Inventors: Lawrence Thibodeaux, Gokhan Ozer, Chinwei Hu, Jesse Rohwer, Eugene Raether

Publication number: 20240015032Abstract: A platform security system and method improve security by binding an identity of a self-contained certificate signing request (SC CSR) requestor to the SC CSR to prevent malicious tampering, such as man-in-the-middle attacks. In at least one embodiment, the requestor, such as a client computer system or other source of a request, requests certificates from a certificate authority (CA). Binding the identity of the SC CSR to the requestor can prevent unauthorized system and/or data access and potentially resultant unauthorized access, malicious tampering, such as man-in-the-middle attacks, and other unauthorized actions or observations. Validation can be performed at the CA on the SC CSR to determine the integrity of the requestor and authorization to receive certificates before the CA sends the certificate to the requestor.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Indeed, Inc.Inventors: Greg Altman, Justin Daily, Sergey Karamov
