Patent number: 11954618Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that are directed to identifying an individual having a specific skill and that is best suited for performing a particular task. The individual may be identified based on having a highest score for the skill out of a pool of individuals having the same skill. In examples, a score specific to each individual out of the pool of individuals having the same skill may be based on multiple interactions with the skill and may be adjusted based on a recency of when each interaction occurred and a level of involvement the individual had with the skill. Accordingly, individuals having recent experience with the skill may be scored, and therefore, ranked higher than individuals having experience with the skill that may have occurred further back in time. In examples, the information about the skills and experiences may be utilized to automatically generate the score.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Abhijeet Haldar, Anuj Jain, Imran Siddique
