Patent number: 10546184Abstract: Embodiments are directed to an image processing station for associating a non-trusted data set with a trusted data set. The station includes a memory and a user interface configured to receive the trusted data set and the non-trusted data set. The station further includes a processor system communicatively coupled to the memory and the user interface. The processor system is configured to generate, based at least in part on processing the trusted data set and the non-trusted data set, a confidence value that represents a probability that at least a portion of the non-trusted data set identifies at least a portion of the trusted data set.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2015Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Casey Dugan, Werner Geyer

Publication number: 20150363744Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for identifying persons who may be interested in acquiring a new position by tracking changes in their resumes. The present invention provides an efficient method to both prevent employee attrition and to signal to potential future employers that the person may become available soon. In general, the invention works by crawling a resume source for resumes, determining the resume owner, associating owner contact information, and tracking changes made to the resumes. If a resume is changed within a certain time period above a certain threshold activity level, then the resume owner is identified as being interested in acquiring a new position. Multiple different resumes from multiple different resume sources can also be mapped to a single owner to provide an aggregate actual resume in which changes can be tracked and used to identify employees interested in acquiring a new position.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2014Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventors: Casey Dugan, Werner Geyer, Tak Yeon Lee, Tristan Ratchford, Todd Steven Soule
