I have multiple resumes in a format like somebody sends to a company to apply for a job. I need to parse these resumes in Java.
Do I need to convert these resumes to XML first for parsing? May the example below be a way to convert the resume in XML?
<Name>Varjhjh</Name>
<Experience>5</Experience>
<Age>7</Age>

resume parsing isn't trivial task, I remember couple years ago I was implementing one strategy -- the main problem is everybody construct their CV his/her own way.
e.g. one writes Date of Birth, another DOB next Birth Date -- so you have to use some dictionary for these cases.
And another interesting thing which you can have it's parsing names, especially if your target candidate has very very very long long name e.g. Frederick Gerald Hubert Irvim John Kenneth
Or for example user have few phones his landline, mobile, his reference 1 phone, two etc.
I remember these guys parsed cv not badly

Other Parsing vendors include: Sovren, Daxtra, Burning Glass and Hireability
But I'm not sure if they have Java integration, and not sure about their cost.
Anyway, good luck in parsing.
I work for Sovren which is a parsing vendor for full disclosure. Resume parsing is not a trivial task. Many company including Sovren, HireAbility, Daxtra and Burning Glass offer installed and SaaS solutions for parsing. Typical work flow is convert the non image resume/cv to text and parsing it returning HR-XML, the industry standard.

I have to do a project with OpenNLP, strictly in italian language. Since it's almost impossible to find some existing structures in this language, my idea is to create a simple model myself. Reading some posts on this platform, my idea is try to do this using model-builder addon.
First of all, it's possible to obtain my goal with this addon?
If so, referring to this other post, what kind of file is meant by "modelOutFile"? In my case I don't have an existing model.
N.B.: the addon uses some deprecated functions (such as nameFinderME.train()).
Naively, I tried to pass as a "modelOutFile" a simple empty file "model.bin", but, of course I bumped into an error:
Cannot invoke "java.util.Properties.getProperty(String)" because "manifest" is null
Furthermore, I used a few names and sentences for the test (I only wanted to know if this worked), not the large amount requested (15000 sentences at least).
I'm open to other suggestions instead of the use of modelbuilder addons.
Hope someone can help me.
I'm currently trying to convert ISOCODE measure units into the fulltext labels.
For example I'll receive a string such as "LTR" and try to convert it to "Liter". It's in german so I'm also looking for a possibility to do this localized.
Is there a library or so which is already doing this? Is there an enum somewhere, containing all these information?
Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to create one myself.
Thanks a lot.
JSR 363 deals with units of measurement and has been implemented in UOM . You can browse the javadoc to get an idea of what's in there.
There was a project called the JScience project, but it doesn't seem to have been updated for some time.
I have two api for getting a description of apps and one common UI. I need to check whether the description come with CDATA tag or not in Java.
For example, one app has the following description :
"<![CDATA[<p>What is Skype?<br />Skype is software that enables the world's
conversations. Millions of individuals and businesses use Skype to make free video and voice
calls, send instant messages and share files with other Skype users. Everyday, people also
use Skype to make low-cost calls to landlines and mobiles.</p>]]>"
And another app has the following description
Run with your fingers as fast as you can to try and get to the top of the leader board. This
game gets even better with friends, Once people see you playing they will want to have a go
and try to beat your fastest time. Tip: Take long strides on the screen to get maximum
distance per step,
<a href=https://abc.defgh.ij.kl/apps/wap/shopping/shopping/freshima-supermarket/freshima-supermarket/web/>WAP URL</a>
How can I differentiate there two description? Is there a way to detect whether the description comes with CDATA or not in Java?
How are you parsing your XML?
If you are using StAX, you can get the current event that you encounter in your stream, which might be XMLStreamConstants.CHARACTERS or XMLStreamConstants.CDATA.
If you are getting a Node Object (like for instance via XPathAPI), the Object will offer you a getNodeType() Method. Also Node has Constants for Node.TEXT_NODE and
Node.CDATA_SECTION_NODE.
More Information would be helpful answering your question.

You should not be treating the following two examples differently, because as far as XML is concerned, they are just different ways of escaping the same content:
<a><![CDATA[<xyz/>]]></a>
<a><xyz/></a>
So perhaps your test is simply "does the text content contain a < character?".
I am working on a project here that ingests internal resumes from people at my company, strips out the skills and relevant content from them and stores it in a database. This was all done using docx4j and Grails. This required the resumes to first be submitted via a template that formatted everything just right so that the ingest tool knew what to look for to strip the data.
The 2nd portion of this, is what if we want to get out a "reduced" resume from the database. In other words, I want to search the uploaded content I now have, and only print out new resumes for people who have Java programming experience lets say. So I can go into my database, find the people who originally had java as a skill, and output a new set of resumes that are also still in a nice templated format, and only have the relevant info in them, instead of ALL the content.
I have been writing some software to do this in Java that will basically use a docx template, overwriting the items in customXML which are bound to the content controls in the doc, so the new data shows up and can eb saved as a new docx with that custom data.
This seems really cumbersome to me, and has some limitations. For one, lets say my template has a place for 3 Skills, and the particular person has 8 skills. There seems to be no good way to add those 5 additional skills to the docx other than painstakingly inserting the data with all of the formatting XML tags and such. This is a real pain, because if the template changes, I dont want to have to go back into my software and edit source code to change that additional data input XML tag to bold instead of italic.
I was doing some reading up on using Infopath to create a form that I could use to get the input, connecting to some sharepoint data source or something to store the stripped out data. However, I can't seem to find out if it is possible using sharepoint to get the data back out, in a nice formatted way. What would the general steps for this be? It seems like I couldnt find very much about this topic with any quick googling.
Thanks
You could set up the skills:
<skills>
<skill>..</skill>
<skill>..</skill>
and use a "repeat" content control pointing to the container. This would handle any number of <skill> entries.
I finished first year comp sci. And i want to spend some time working on the things they have taught us in the first year (lot of java and a bit of C)...
Anyways as a project, i wanted to do something i need, and what i need is a program to run through my movie folder and get the ratings and some basic info from IMDB...
I'm not sure where to start, i think i can handle the parts about reading the folder names, getting rid of the junk from the name to get the actual name and stuff.. Also i can handle the GUI but i don't know how i can talk to IMDB... what steps should i take to complete this project. I have about a month before school starts and i want to finish it before then...Thanks for all the input
EDIT:
Also can you guys tell me what i should start with and then move on to what? As in should i start with the GUI first or have the code that reads in the folder names and filters the names... I only wrote one program as an assignment in school and it was basically outlined step by step so i just wanna know what i should start with
You've made a very good start by decomposing the problem, identifying the kind of components you need and focusing on (an important) one that you don't know how to do.
The IMDB API is documented here and you can see that it amounts to sending simple HTTP requests with some paramters and getting back some formatted data, possibly as a JSON string.
You will find libraries to help with doing those two things. Even if there are public domain wrappers for accessing IMDB I'd recommend attempting to use general purpose HTTP and JSON libraries - that's probably a better educational exercise.
I'm the author of the IMDB API you are dicussing ;) I limit requests to 30 per hour to stop people hammering. I have yet to have a legitimate reason to perform more requests than that. My suggestion to anyone is to write a batch script to perform 1 request every 2minutes and then leave it going for a few hours overnight. Then you only have to perform a request on demand whenever you add a new movie.
