Identifying and ranking networked biographies and referral paths corresponding to selected qualifications

Номер: US20130138588A1
Автор: Mehta Sunil, Meyer David, Murgai Poonam
Принадлежит: NIMBLECAT, INC.

The most common automated search methods produce less-than-ideal results when searching online resumes, profiles, and the like (“biographies”) for the identities of people with a searcher-selected qualification (“candidates”). Keywords, their proximities, and their repetitions are less informative in biographies than in other informational documents. Similarly, chains of social connection (“referral paths”) do not always reveal the likelihood or ease of a searcher's introduction to a candidate. In both cases, the display order of results may be unrelated to any estimate of merit. To answer the question “Whom do I need and how do I reach them?” a classifier system uses heuristics or algorithms adapted to match the reactions of human experts on the selected qualifications. Terms in biographies, regardless of structure, are standardized and disambiguated for accurate comparisons, meaningful context is preserved, and biographies and referral paths are scored based on expected usefulness to the searcher. 1. A non-transitory information-storage device programmed with data and instructions comprising:a reference set of stored expressions distilled from biographies scored by a human expert,instructions for finding biographies stored on a network,instructions for reducing the biographies to distilled expressions,instructions for comparing the distilled expressions to the reference set to derive a qualification score,instructions for identifying biographies of candidates exhibiting a qualification selected by a searcher,instructions for collecting network-stored indications of published connections between the searcher and each of the candidates,instructions for extrapolating additional possible connections between the searcher and each of the candidates,instructions for synthesizing a referral path from the searcher to each candidate through intermediaries identified by the published connections or the additional possible connectionsinstructions for computing a connectivity ...

The problem of abuse of privileges at cloud-hosted service sites is addressed by connecting a single individual or “actor” with multiple user accounts and/or other online identities, thereby creating a “consolidated profile.” In this way a confidence level can be established that a particular user account, IP address or other identifying attribute is associated with a particular actor. Different confidence levels may suffice depending on the remediary action to be taken; for example, holding a message for human review is obviously less draconian than rejecting the actor's registration at sign-up, and would therefore require a lower degree of confidence. 1.

In one example, the system includes a distributed database query system having a remote server and a local client computer. The remote server receives a query request from the client and obtains a threshold number of results for display. If a particular query provides less than the threshold number of results, the system uses a first interactive graphical query result mode utilizing client rendering. If the query provides the threshold number of results or more, the system uses a second non-interactive graphical query result mode utilizing server rendering.
