Abstract: A system for rating job transitions includes a probability determiner for determining a set of probabilities, a grouper for determining a group of job transition histories, a filter for determining a subset of job transition histories from the group of job transition histories by filtering based at least in part on a transition characteristic, a normalizer for determining a model set of job transition histories by normalizing the subset of job transition histories, a feature vector extractor for determining a set of feature vectors using the model set of job transition histories, a model builder for determining a model based at least in part on the set of feature vectors, and a rater for rating potential job transitions of a selected employee based on the model using a set of test feature vectors.

Abstract: An improved system and method for clustering text or content described by text is provided. Each text in a set of texts may be represented as a dimensional vector of words. Singleton texts that may not be similar to another text may be excluded from the set of texts for clustering. Texts identified as good nearest neighbors may then be grouped in the same cluster. In addition, metadata describing content may be used for clustering items of aggregated content from content feeds. Metadata describing items of content from content feeds may be converted into a set of texts and texts identified as good nearest neighbors may then be clustered. Items of content feeds described by the clustered texts may then be similarly clustered. Any types of items of content that may be described by text may be clustered, including audio, images, video, multimedia content, and so forth.
