The document describes an algorithm for parsing resumes into groups based on formatting of titles. It was tested on resumes of varying lengths, with longer resumes like Collins' 112 pages posing more challenges. For the Collins resume, the system was able to recognize and group titles with 30-40% accuracy. The next phase will focus on individual sections, extract needed information from groups more semantically, reduce errors, and remove noise to improve accuracy.

1. Resume Parser – Alpha Phase
Akrita Agarwal

2. Introduction
• While creating/updating a profile, the user
has to enter all the information manually.
• Resume parser aims to accept a user’s resume
in Microsoft Word .doc format to reduce the
manual step.
• In this phase, we have grouped the titles
together to understand the structure of the
document.

3. Tools used
• Apache POI – Java API for Microsoft
Documents
• HWPF – Apache POI component for Word
Documents
• Eclipse

4. Algorithm
• Document scanned for titles
• Each title acquires a 4-D vector, stored as a key in
a map.
• The title is saved as a value in the map with its
start and stop index.
• Titles grouped by their keys.
• 4-D key vector :
[B][I][U].[font size].[font name].[font color]
E.g. 110.24.Times New Roman.0

5. • Values –
– Each value is of form -
• ([start index] [stop index] [title text])
– List of values -
• ([start index] [stop index] [title text]), ([start index] [stop
index] [title text]) …
– E.g.
– (353 362 Education) (1918 1931 Skills & Tools) …
– A list of values exist corresponding to each key
– Each key is unique to the system
– All values with the same key will be grouped together
– Sample resume run in the next slide

11. Performance
Resume Name Pages Runtime Error % in title
grouping
Akrita.doc 1 ~ 1 minutes 0-1%
Vagal.doc 14 ~ 5 minutes Upto 50%
Collins.doc 112 ~ 2 hours 30-40%
The challenge lay in parsing the collins resume and produce meaningful results.
The system is able to recognize and group the titles with a fair accuracy.

12. Next phase proposal
• Focus on individual sections.
• Extract the needed information from the
groups.
• Further Semantic Analysis of the text to
reduce the error rate
• Remove noise and junk values.

13. • I am sorry I couldn’t make it to the meeting
• A BIG thank you to Josette for the motivation
and Divya for presenting this
• If there are any questions/suggestions you can
email me at – agarwaat@mail.uc.edu
Thank You Everyone!
