Methods, systems, and computer program products for designing conflict minimizing outreach strategies are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes obtaining data from a job matching service corresponding to jobs listed on the job matching service and candidates; generating job clusters for the jobs based on clustering criteria; identifying, for each respective one of the job clusters, a set of candidates from among the candidates to reduce inter-cluster conflict; selecting, for each of the jobs in a given one of the job clusters, individual candidates from among the set of candidates corresponding to the given job cluster to reduce intra-cluster conflict with respect to the plurality of candidates; and outputting one or more optimized lists of the candidates for the jobs based on the identifying and the selecting.

Designing conflict reducing outreach strategies to mitigate inefficiencies in proactive sourcing process

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving a ranked listing of a plurality of candidates; within a first one of a plurality of collaboration rounds: (i) aggregating the ranked listings into an overall listing, (ii) presenting the overall listing to a first one of the job candidate matching agents, and (iii) receiving at least one modification to the overall listing from the agents; (iv) presenting a version of the overall listing to each of the remaining agents; and (v) receiving any modifications from the agents until all of the agents have had a turn; conducting others of the plurality of collaboration rounds: (i) presenting a version of the overall listing and (ii) receiving any modifications from the agents; (iii) presenting a version of the overall listing to each of the remaining agents, and (iv) receiving any modifications from the agents; and providing the final version to a user.

Job candidate listing from multiple sources

One embodiment provides a computer implemented method, including: receiving information corresponding to a customer of a seller, wherein the information is related to credit information of the customer; generating a credit attribute for the customer with respect to the seller, wherein the generating includes utilizing a plurality of artificial intelligence agents that each analyze at least a subset of the information to each generate an agent version of the credit attribute; and recommending a deferral of at least a portion of a pending invoice of the seller for the customer, wherein a value of the deferral is based upon the credit attribute.

Invoice deferral recommendation

A method, system and computer program product for assessing similarity between two job description documents. Job description documents consist of sentences framed in a particular manner, where the sentences are represented as a set of actions, an object corresponding to each action and a set of attributes corresponding to the object. The two job description documents are parsed to generate a first and a second set of an action-object-attribute triplet representation, where the first set of the action-object-attribute triplet representation is associated with the first job description document and the second set of the action-object-attribute triplet representation is associated with the second job description document. A similarity score between the first and second sets of action-object-attribute triplet representations is then calculated by hierarchically matching the first and second sets of action-object-attribute triplet representations across the job description documents. In this manner, similar job positions/job descriptions may be more accurately identified.

Creating and using triplet representations to assess similarity between job description documents

One embodiment provides a computer implemented method, including: receiving billing information related to a billing contract of a customer of a seller, wherein the billing contract identifies amounts of invoices and an invoice frequency; identifying, utilizing one or more artificial intelligence agents, one or more risk factors associated with generation of a pending invoice based upon the billing information; and recommending, utilizing the one or more artificial intelligence agents, a generation date for the pending invoice based upon the one or more risk factors, wherein the recommending includes selecting a generation date to facilitate timely payment of the pending invoice by the customer.

A resume remarketing method, system, and computer program product, including creating a remarketing cookie based on an interest factor of a first user in a first type of resume, matching the first user with a second user based on a similarity between a role of the first and second users, and transferring the remarketing cookie from the first user to the second user to remarket the first type of resume to the second user.

System, method and computer program product for remarketing an advertised resume within groups

A break recommendation method, system, and non-transitory computer readable medium, include detecting a deviation between a current cognitive state of the user and a past cognitive state of the user during a predetermined amount of time for a document type based on a change in an eye gaze movement and a facial and emotional expression and recommending that the user takes a break from viewing the document for a predetermined amount of time based on the deviation being greater than a predetermined threshold value, where the deviation is related to the user viewing the document and the document type of the document.

Cognitive state analysis based on a difficulty of working on a document

Methods, systems and computer program products for generating virtual reality (VR)-based interactive audience simulations are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes determining one or more situational and location characteristics for a given performance by a user, generating a VR-based simulated audience for the given performance based at least in part on the determined situational and location characteristics, presenting the VR-based simulated audience to a user during the given performance utilizing a VR headset, utilizing one or more sensors to measure one or more aspects of the given performance before the VR-based simulated audience, and generating real-time feedback adjusting the VR-based simulated audience presented to the user utilizing the VR headset based at least in part on the measured aspects of the given performance.

Virtual-reality based interactive audience simulation
