No one has enough time to go into the details of any resume. This mayresult in shortlisting of wrong candidate or rejection of a right candidate which may result in significant loss of money and otherresources. To simplify this process, we propose a Text Analytic approach to judge resumes on the basis of their content. SentimentAnalysis approach can also prove vital to analyze a candidate’s resume on the basis of the description he or she provides.Sentiment Analysis is being used in various scenarios like recording people’s responses for services and products. But here, wewill follow that approach to judge a job candidate’s resume. With the help of this method, we can help the employer to identifywhich candidate suits best the requirements of the company.Key Words: Text Analytics, Sentiment Analysis, Natural Language Processing, Text Mining, Lexical ------------------------------------------------1. INTRODUCTIONThis document is Text Analytics can be defined as a set ofstatistical, linguistic and machine learning techniques whichlet us analyses textual content in a structured manner so thatit can be used for deriving higher quality information fromunstructured data. It is also referred as Text Mining [1].Theprocess involves structuring of text, using it to derivedifferent patterns and evaluating them to get some usefuloutput from it. Various methods of Natural LanguageProcessing (NLP) are involved in Text Analysis like LexicalAnalysis, Pattern Recognition, Information Retrieval, DataMining, Parsing, Sentiment Analysis and InformationExtraction. All these techniques help in enabling thecomputers to understand human language and analyses itlike a human.Sentiment Analysis or Opinion Mining [2] aims todetermine the attitude of a speaker or a writer with regard toanything he or she has said or written. It tells what aparticular person is trying to communicate, his or heremotional state and judgment regarding any topic. In thisprocess a given text is taken as input and the words andsentences found in the document are categorized intodifferent levels of sentiments. For example, words like‘Happy’, ‘Cheerful’ describe Positive emotion and wordslike ‘Sorrow’, ‘Sad’ describe a negative emotion. Basicapproaches in Sentiment Analysis involve keyword spotting,lexical affinity, latent semantic analysis, support vectormachines and concept level approaches which useontologies and semantic networks.Resumes are a great source of unstructured data which canbe usefully analyzed by the companies to shortlist the rightcandidate. Various qualities of a candidate can be identifiedbased on the content of his resume. Just like humans, acomputer can analyses the resume by finding the rightkeywords which will categorize the level of every candidateon a scale of 3, Low, Average and High. Initially, a trainingdata set would be manually created so that the computer isable to identify what characteristics make a candidate’sresume better or worse than others. A learning algorithm canbe created which would extract useful keywords from eachand every resume which will be analyzed by the system.Learning technique used can be either Supervised orUnsupervised. Supervised learning would involve trainingdata set for each class of levels defined on the scale. Thetechniques involved in classification under supervisedlearning are Support Vector Machine, K-nearestneighborrand Naïve Bayes. Unsupervised learning don’t use anytraining set data rather the use of clustering algorithms likeK-means clustering can be used to classify data into variouscategories or levels. Semantic Orientation is also a veryefficient technique for classification.The paper is divided in following sections – Section 2describes the related work which has been done. Section 3will present the detailed explanation of the methodology wepropose to adopt. Section 4 shall give an insight of theprototype we have implemented till now. Section 5 shallpresent the conclusion and the proposed future work whichcan be done.Volume: 09 Issue: 01 July-2015, Available @ www.jmdet.com1
Journal of Multi Disciplinary Engineering Technologies (JMDET)2. RELATED WORKResume RDF ontology has been introduced by Uldis Bojarsand John G. Breslin [3] which uses an RDF data model tomodel a resume. ResumeRDF describes resume informationwith its lavish set of classes and properties. Uldis Bojarsfurther extended FOAF with resume information [4] for aneven more improved description of information.In 2002 and 2003, Turney and Littman proposed a strategywhich would infer the semantic orientation or evaluativecharacter of a word from its huge hundred billion-wordcorpus corpora taking into consideration the semanticassociations with the other words, referred as paradigms byhim. [5][6].Ujjal Marjit et al. [7] proposed a different technique whichretrieved resume information using the concept of LinkedData enabling the web to share data with different sourcesenabling it to discover multiple kinds of information. Anontology based approach was proposed by Maryam FazelZarandi et al. [8] which would match job seekers skills withthe help of a deductive model which determined a matchbetween the skills of a job seeker and the skills required bythe recruiter.ISSN: 0974-1771candidate and by analyzing the text used by him or her; wewill categorize the candidate into various expertise levels.So if a company wants an employee who necessarily has ahigh expertise level in C language, only then his resume willbe shortlisted. A knowledge base of various keywords willbe designed which will form the basis of categorization.This will also help in ranking of various resumes to tellwhich one is better or worse than the other giving theapplying candidates a chance to present themselves in thebest possible way.3. METHODOLOGYThe model we propose has four steps: Collection of resumes. Searching for keywords stored in knowledge basein the resume text. Fetching new keywords from the resumes to buildthe knowledge base further. Ranking and Categorization of candidate based ona rating score.Figure (1) shows the proposed model and all the steps areexplained in subsequent sub sections.Another system to automate resume information extractionwas developed by Kopparapu of TCS Innovations lab [9]which featured rapid search of resume extracting usefulinformation from a free format resume with the help ofvarious NLP techniques.Online Chine resume parser was presented by Zhi XiangJing et al. [10] which used rule based and statisticalalgorithms to extract information from a resume. ZhangChuang et al. [11] worked on a resume document blockanalysis which was based on pattern matching and multilevel information identification making the biggest resumeparser system.Celik et al. [12] designed a system which converted aresume into an ontological structural model whichsimplified the analysis of Turkish and English resumes. DiWu et al. [13] managed to extract information from resumesmore effectively by the concept of ontology using WordNetfor similarity calculation.Although there are many other existing websites whichprovide advanced facilities like searching on the basis ofkeywords, domain, location etc., their search does not takeinto consideration, the skill level of a particular candidate.For example, if a company searches for a candidate who canwork in C language, they can easily search for candidateswho have C language mentioned in their resumes. But howwill they know the proficiency of that particular candidate inC language.In our prototype, we use extra information like the projectsin which the candidate was involved as well as the projectdescription. This information will be taken as input from theFigure 1: Proposed Model3.1 RESUME COLLECTIONThis step involves the collection of various resumesuploaded by the candidates. A simple web interface hasbeen designed in our prototype model which will make theuser fill a form having the fields which would be required tobe filled by the job seeker. Our prototype deals withcandidates for IT companies but this can be generalized forvarious other sectors by using an even more extensiveknowledge base.The candidates will specify the languages they know alongwith the projects on which they have worked. This will helpthe hiring company as they can easily filter out thecandidates who do not have the knowledge of the languagewhich is demanded by the company. Most websites use thisas their filter method by searching with a keyword. Forexample, if they want a candidate who knows Java, they cansimply search for ‘Java’ in the resume to filter outcandidates who do not know Java. But this technique doesnot tell the company anything about the proficiency level ofthe particular candidate in the language he or she knows.There is no way to tell how good the candidate is in Java.Volume: 09 Issue: 01 July-2015, Available @ www.jmdet.com2
Journal of Multi Disciplinary Engineering Technologies (JMDET)3.2 KEYWORD SEARCHINGThis is one of the most crucial steps of our model. Aknowledge base consisting of various keywords is madefrom the initial training data. The input text which isreceived needs some pre-processing before it can be used.For this purpose, we use a POS tagger and a chunker whichare used to split the text into sentences, which are thenanalyzed by a syntactic parser which labels all the wordswith their part of speech information. Using a chunker helpsin providing a flat structure of extracted data [14]. LexicalAnalysis [15] can also be done to tokenize the words whichcan be then categorized for the purpose of parsing.The keywords are extracted from the analyzed set of words.The nouns, verbs and adverbs are the part of speech tagswhich are targeted for extraction while others can bedropped.Extracted words are then compared with the keywordsstored in the knowledge base. Every word stored in theknowledge base has a value associated with it. These valuesare defined based on the importance of the word. Since ourprototype deals only with resumes for jobs in IT companies,we have used various keywords which are extracted fromthe description of projects in which the candidate wasinvolved. A large set of valued keywords can be made andused to rate the candidates on the basis of words extractedfrom their resumes. The sum of all the keyword values iscalculated to obtain a rating score which will be used furtherto rank the resume and categorize the candidate on the basisof rating.3.3 ADDITION IN KNOWLEDGE BASEWhile the keywords found in resume text will be matched,the words which are not found in knowledge base are furtheranalyzed and if found relevant, is added to the knowledgebase. Since the data from which knowledge extraction has tobe done is unstructured, we follow traditional methods ofinformation extraction. Apart from that, Ontology basedInformation extraction can also be done by SemanticAnnotation [16] in which we augment the natural languagetext into metadata which can be represented in form ofRDFa (Resource Description Framework in attributes) [17].The process is divided into two subtasks – TerminologyExtraction and Entity Linking.For terminology extraction, domain specific lexicon can beused after tokenizing the text. After that, a link is createdbetween extracted lexical terms and the concepts from eitherontology or the already existing knowledge base. Lastly, thecontext of the various terms is analyzed so that they can becorrectly assigned to the level in which they should belong.In this way, knowledge base can be regularly updated andalso, it will be manually examined regularly to removekeywords which may no longer be useful.3.4 RANKING AND CATEGORIZATIONISSN: 0974-1771After getting the rating score of the resume, a candidate canbe ranked on the basis of his resume’s score. This will beuseful in comparing two candidates while shortlisting them.Whenever the company searches for a candidate keeping inmind certain requirements, the candidate who is rankedabove will be presented to the company first which wouldbe adding to his advantage in cases where the vacanciesavailable may not be high.More important procedure which has to be followed is ofcategorization. The sentiment analysis categorizes thepeople’s opinions as Positive, Negative or Neutral to deriveresults. Similar to that, our model would categorizecandidates as Low, Average or High on the basis of theirresume.In our prototype, we have categorized the resumes ofcandidates applying for IT companies in the same 3 levelscale and considered it as their expertise level in theprogramming language mentioned in their projectdescription which would help the company shortlist onlythose candidates whose expertise level in a particularlanguage is as required by the company.In this way, the efficiency of recruitment process of acompany could be significantly improved as bettercandidates would be picked up without needing to give a lotof time in going through the resumes manually.4. IMPLEMENTATIONThe algorithms for matching of keywords have beenimplemented on Python facilitated by MySQL connectorwhich fetches data required for matching from the table ofKeywords and their associated values which form theKnowledge Base. The algorithm matches the extractedkeywords with the keywords present in the knowledge baseand stores them in a different list along with their ratingvalues. The rating scores of individual keywords after beingadded are returned to the candidates table for the purpose oftheir ranking on the basis of score. Categorization isperformed on the basis of rating score of each candidate.The rules for rating and categorization followed in theprototype are as follows Rating scale for individual keywords – 1: Low 2: Average3: HighRating Score Sum of ratings of all keywords matchedCategorization on the basis of Rating Score – Below 10:Low10 to 20: Average Above 20: HighThe candidates and the company will use a website basedinterface to interact. Both of them after getting registered asusers shall be added in the database, separate for candidatesand companies. The candidate database consists of variousfields the candidate would have to fill in while registeringwhich includes the programming languages known andprojects in which the candidate has been involved alongwith its description. These are the crucial fields which willVolume: 09 Issue: 01 July-2015, Available @ www.jmdet.com3
Journal of Multi Disciplinary Engineering Technologies (JMDET)be used to determine the expertise level of the candidate.The fields for expertise level and rating score shall beautomatically filled for every candidate once the resume isanalyzed.On the other side, a company can simply specify theirrequirements while searching for a candidate as shown infigure 2. They may specify the language or languages whichshould be known and the expertise level of a candidatewhich they need. Once they submit their requirements, thecandidates who fulfil the criteria are fetched from theCandidates table and displayed to the company as shown infigure 3.ISSN: 0974-1771The model we propose efficiently shortlist the candidatesaccording to the requirements of the company based on theirresumes. Although one can question the trustworthiness of aresume to shortlist a candidate but since this will not be thefinal procedure of any company’s recruitment process, itstill holds its importance. Resumes are always considered asthe first impression of any job seeker so it is important thatthe candidates focus on the way they describe themselves inresumes to get shortlisted by the company for furtherprocess. Candidates will get a chance to get them rankedabove others on the basis of projects he has been involved inas well as the way he describes it.In future, we will try to generalize the concept which is tillnow limited to only IT sector. For that, different criteriawould have to be formulated which would become the basisfor categorization and ranking of candidates.REFERENCESFigure 2: Candidate RequirementsFigure 3: Candidates shortlisted5.

Concretely, we simulate jabberwocky parsing by adding noise to the representation of words in the input and observe how parsing performance varies. We test two types of noise: one in which words are replaced with an out-of-vocabulary word without a lexical representation, and a sec-ond in which words are replaced with others (with
