Abstract: The technical problem of automatically facilitating a career transition that is a career pivot is addressed by providing a career navigator component in an on-line connection network system. The career navigator is configured to determine that a member's intent is to pivot in their career and, in response, identify, rank, and surface member profiles that indicate the same pivot. The operations for recognizing a pivot intent include maintaining hierarchical occupation taxonomy that can be consulted to determine whether the member's activities on the web site relate to the same or different parent occupations. Once the pivot intent has been recognized, the career navigator identifies those member profiles that indicate the same career transition, and presents those profiles to the pivoting member via a custom-generated user interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying the presence of an attendee in an education session include providing, by a computer hardware processor, information for a codified sound to a leader of the education session, where the leader is located in a substantially enclosed space in which the education session is held. The codified sound represents a leader code. The codified sound is emitted from a first device associated with the leader. A sound signal is received by a second device associated with the attendee. An attendee code is determined from the sound signal received by the second device. The system, such as using the computer hardware processor or the second device, determines whether the attendee code matches the leader code.

Abstract: Selective content presentation for the purpose of self-imposed censoring of content is implemented on an electronic device. The selective content presentation involves acquiring a content suppression preference for suppressing content presentation at an electronic device. Subsequently, a content portion and a content selection tag for the content portion are also received at the electronic device. When the electronic device determines based on the content selection tag that a part of content portion is designated for suppression by the content suppression preference, the part of the content portion is obstructed by the electronic device to form a modified content portion. The modified content portion is further presented to a user via the electronic device.
