Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for continuously monitoring the health of a point-of-sale (POS) device, at a central location, and executing self-healing software from the malfunctioning POS device. The self-healing software may be stored locally on the POS device itself, occupying a small footprint and therefore easily be stored in and execute on both older and newer POS devices. Embodiments further describe a central server as coordinating both identification of the particular self-healing process to execute on each POS device as well as the timing of execution associated therewith.

In the method for predicting the matching degree between the resume and the post, and the related device according to this disclosure, firstly the semi-structured keys and values in post information and resume information and their source are obtained. Then, the matching degree between the resume information and the post information is predicted by a prediction model including a cascaded pre-trained language model, a Transformer encoder and a single label classification model, based on the keys and values of a respective post information and resume information attribute, and corresponding source representations. Thus, by comprehensively searching internal interaction and external interaction of semi-structured multivariate attributes in person-post matching, the matching result is more accurate.
