  • Publication number: 20220391849
    Abstract: In an approach to generating interview questions, a computer retrieves a description of a job. A computer extracts one or more job requirements from the description. A computer retrieves information associated with a candidate for the job. A computer extracts an experience from the information relevant to the job. A computer identifies a first set of one or more topics associated with the one or more job requirements and a second set of one or more topics associated with the experience resulting from a first semantic search of a corpus. A computer identifies a match between at least one topic of the first set of one or more topics associated with the one or more job requirements and at least one topic of the second set of one or more topics associated with the experience. A computer generates one or more interview questions based on the match.

  • Patent number: 11144045
    Abstract: The attributes of a currently failed edge device are correlated with other devices having similar profiles or similar attributes. The correlating considers a history of operational patterns of the other edge devices over time. Based upon the results of the correlating, solutions to problems experienced by the other edge devices are identified. Selections from the solutions from the other edge devices are made and these selected solutions are to be implemented at the selected edge device in an effort to repair the selected edge device.
