Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing an electronic feedback management system. The method may use an electronic information processing platform. The method may include receiving information relating to a company employee hierarchy. The method may also include receiving information relating to the submission of a suggestion by a first employee. The method may further include receiving information relating to the status of the suggestion. The status of the suggestion may include an identification of a second employee who has viewed the suggestion. The method may also include displaying on a graphical user interface (“GUI”) a visual representation of at least part of the company employee hierarchy. The display may include the identification relating to the second employee.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for evaluating the likelihood that a candidate will match an employment requirement. The apparatus and methods may be used for electronically accessing a plurality of text strings. A computation machine may score the text string using an objective function module. The objective function module may generate an output score that corresponds to the likelihood of a match between the text string and an employment requirement. Based on the score, the candidate may be invited to participate in an electronic dialog, such as a chat session or electronic message exchange, with a recruiting agent. The computation machine may be used to generate supplemental scores based on the chat session or subsequent chat sessions. The scores may be used to evaluate the likelihood of the match.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to knowledge retrieval using a knowledgebase storing general and/or expert knowledge. In particular, the disclosure relates to using an enhanced knowledgebase to implement a tool for analysis and categorization of surveys.

Abstract: Systems and methods for inducing a change in a human physiological characteristic. The physiological characteristic may correspond to an emotional state of a dialogue participant. The dialogue participant may be an individual participating in a conversation. The outcome of the conversation may be related to a business objective, such as providing high quality call center services. A sensor may monitor the physiologic characteristic. A processor may relate the physiologic characteristic to an emotional state. The processor may provide feedback to the individual based on the emotional state. The feedback may be formulated to change the individual's emotional state.
