Solution Overview

Problem

Current electronic document generation systems, such as résumé and job application tools, provide generic and non-personalized content recommendations based solely on job titles, failing to align with users' work history and preferences, leading to suboptimal content suggestions and increased chances of being screened out by résumé parsing software.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing artificial intelligence models to generate skill recommendations by embedding job titles, experience levels, and work history statements, determining similarity scores, and organizing skills in an ordered list to ensure relevance and alignment with users' unique situations, thereby enhancing personalized content generation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If generic content recommendations based on job titles are used, then the system is simple to operate, but the content relevance to user work history deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidcontent relevance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary component (content recommendation engine with AI/ML models) that bridges the gap between simple job title input and personalized content generation. This intermediary processes work history data, generates embeddings, and matches skills to create relevant recommendations without requiring complex user input, thus maintaining ease of operation while improving content relevance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical keyword-matching systems with AI/ML-based embedding models. Instead of simple string matching between job titles and content, the system uses neural network embeddings to capture semantic meaning and contextual relationships, significantly improving content relevance while keeping the user interface simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of information

If personalized content recommendations based on work history are implemented, then content relevance improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent relevanceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-computing and storing embeddings for work history statements, skills, and content items in databases. These embeddings are generated in advance and cached, so when a user requests recommendations, the system performs fast similarity searches rather than generating embeddings in real-time, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining personalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs self-service mechanisms where the AI model automatically generates embeddings, performs similarity matching, and recommends content without manual intervention. The system serves itself by maintaining and updating its own knowledge base of embeddings, reducing the need for complex manual configuration and management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If AI models generate embeddings for work history and skills, then skill matching accuracy improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskill matching accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-computing embeddings for all skills and work history statements during off-peak times and storing them in databases. When a user requests skill matching, the system retrieves pre-computed embeddings and performs fast cosine similarity calculations, avoiding the need to generate embeddings in real-time and thus maintaining high accuracy while reducing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements local quality by optimizing the embedding generation process for specific use cases. Different embedding models can be used for different types of data (work history, skills, job descriptions), and the system can selectively generate embeddings only for the specific data needed for each recommendation query, rather than processing all data uniformly, thus improving efficiency while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for providing job skill recommendations for an electronic document. Certain aspects include obtaining work history statements, a current job title, and an experience level, querying curated skills datasets to return a first skill set, generating, with an artificial intelligence model, work history embeddings based on the work history statements, generating, with the artificial intelligence model, skill embeddings based on the curated skills datasets, determining a similarity score between the work history embeddings and the skill embeddings, selecting, for a second skill set, second job skills, identifying common skills between the first skill set and the second skill set, merging the first skill set and the second skill set to form a merged skill set, sorting the merged skill set into an ordered list and populating sections of the electronic document by selecting at least one skill from the ordered list.
